As flooring technology and installation experts, i4F and AFT have joined forces to contribute to this industry effort by focusing on training and education. AFT is initiating dedicated training sessions, as well as creating digital content including tutorials and short, \u2018how-to\u2019 videos.&nbsp; The new programs are designed to address frequently asked questions, do\u2019s and don\u2019t\u2019s, as well as provide tips and tricks relating to specific situations, like how to install around door frames, plank replacements, first row alignment techniques, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With no inserts required, i4F\u2019s drop-lock flooring installation technologies are&nbsp;up to 30% faster to install than basic angle\/angle systems. Used on billions of square feet of flooring worldwide, i4F drop-lock technologies enable extremely high locking strength and are suitable for all flooring materials &#8211; including SPC, luxury vinyl tiles, expanded polymer core, laminate, and wood &#8211; in all formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robert Varden, AFT\u2019s flooring installation veteran and expert, says, \u201cI\u2019ve experienced first-hand the easiness and speed of installation using i4F\u2019s drop-lock. Installers\u2019 knowledge of newer and more efficient systems is critical and doing it right from the beginning will save them even more of their precious time.&nbsp; We want to bring our expertise and contribution to this simple goal and I\u2019m delighted to engage with i4F on this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthieu Dekens, president of i4F, Inc. adds, &#8220;Rigid core flooring is still a relatively new and evolving category, and we regularly hear questions about installation. The installation of i4F drop-lock is different than other systems \u2013 that\u2019s what makes it easier and faster to use! This new education program will enhance awareness as well as make laying flooring enhanced with our technologies even easier and faster, to more installers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block file-list\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"block news feed latest\" id=\"block_7a9eef9c1e020792fa55ad75eea9b430\">\n          <div class=\"container\">\n            <h6 class=\"title text-center\">\u6700\u65b0\u52a8\u6001<\/h6>\n            <div class=\"row pb-5\">\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 31\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>i4F and Unilin Technologies\u00a0enter into non\u2011assert agreement on water\u2011repellent coating patents for laminate and wood flooring<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/i4f-and-unilin-technologies-enter-into-non%e2%80%91assert-agreement-on-water%e2%80%91repellent-coating-patents-for-laminate-and-wood-flooring\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 25\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>Parkett Magazin &#8211; i4F: John Rietveldt in an interview of the month<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/parkett-magazin-i4f-john-rietveldt-in-an-interview-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 1\u6708 27\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>Lioncore selects i4F as exclusive licensor for its new patented L-SPC lightweight rigid core product build-up and composition<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/lioncore-selects-i4f-as-exclusive-licensor-for-its-new-patented-l-spc-lightweight-rigid-core-product-build-up-and-composition\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-7771","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
