Convention Education | |
A round table discussion was held at the June meeting. We compared the pros and cons of vinyl versus VCT tile. The general response was that vinyl is softer than VCR, thus tearing more easily. Vinyl is easy to clean and is one continuous sheet. VCT tile is installed in squares, which can be replaced as needed. It is more durable than vinyl. The newest type is easy to maintain. It has a long-lasting sealer in it. Occasionally it needs to be burnished. Most members preferred the tile to the vinyl.
The January 20, 2009 meeting will be a virtual meeting. Instead of traveling to a certain site for the meeting, it will be held over the internet. More information about this will come later. The education topic will be "Employee Right to Know".
