OVERVIEW

ABOUT:

Register to gain PDAA Certified Architectural Films (windows, walls, and floors) status for your company. PDAA will be using Drytac vinyl throughout this event. An installer who passes all the certification stations will gain PDAA Certification and a digital badge. Through PDAA certification, your company holds verified proof that their installer has the skill set, the knowledge of industry terms, and the proficiency with all the tools necessary to install any standard architectural film in a typical industry setting (retail stores, trade shows, banks, offices, etc.). The testing stations include a wall mural with inside and outside corners, a round column, a floor graphic, wet and dry window graphics application, a rough textured surface, and a steel locker unit.

 

Your company must be a PRINTING United Alliance corporate member and have a PDAA Certified Installer on staff to be listed on the Find an Installer site with the Windows, Walls, and Floors certification. Training will include information on vinyl types and adhesives, application tools, tips and tricks, and demonstrations of each station. Installers will receive training and have the opportunity to practice on all stations. Once confident, the ability to test will also be provided. The successful installer will receive a digital badge to share their achievement. Installers who are corporate members of PRINTING United Alliance will be listed on our exclusive Find an Installer directory with the badge earned next to their listing.

 

Drytac vinyl will be used for this event.

 

This training will be held at Capital INK, 2239 Distribution Circle, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
