The Concrete Countertop Institute to Offer Training in the Northeast

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) May 18, 2006

The first engineering-based training for concrete countertops ever offered in the Northeast will take place June 8-10, 2006 at Concrete Texturing Tool & Supply in Throop, Pennsylvania. Jeffrey D. Girard, P.E., president of The Concrete Countertop Institute, pioneer of engineered concrete countertops, and Concrete Network’s January 2006 Industry Leader, will teach the class titled “Concrete Countertop Essentials”.

The class covers all steps of both precast and cast in place concrete countertops in a fast-paced, interactive environment. Topics covered include form building, reinforcing, mix design, finishing techniques and sealing. As with all Concrete Countertop Institute classes, students will learn not just how to make concrete countertops, but also the theory behind the processes. Each student will make a small countertop to take home after the class and use as a display piece.

Bart Sacco, the president of Concrete Texturing Tool & Supply, has over 20 years experience as a decorative concrete craftsman, and his company offers the highest quality tools and supplies in the decorative concrete industry. Jeff Girard says, “Bart’s focus on quality combined with his dedication to helping contractors gain the knowledge needed to succeed in this growing market made him a logical choice to host a class by The Concrete Countertop Institute. Both companies provide the most in-depth resources to their customers.”

Contractors wishing to register for the class may contact The Concrete Countertop Institute at 888-386-7711 or Concrete Texturing Tool & Supply at 570-489-6025.
