ISFA Goes To Washington (State) To Provide Solid Surface Fabrication Training for the Kings County Library System

February 8, 2024—ISFA Solid Surface Fabrication Trainer Aaron Davis was on location in Issaquah, Washington, this week. Aaron trained a facilities maintenance crew responsible for maintaining 51 libraries across King County Washington.

“The training was really good. We enjoyed the instructor,” said Howard Summers, facilities maintenance supervisor for the King County Library System. “Aaron did a great job, and he was very thorough. It was a very well-rounded training for those with no experience and those with previous experience.”

The King County Library system is a publicly funded entity, and the facilities maintenance crew that attended this solid surface fabrication training is responsible for servicing and maintaining the countertops and sinks in all the public and staff areas. They’re also considering replacing existing laminate countertops in the libraries’ computer labs with solid surface.

Solid surface is made from a blend of natural minerals, resins and pigments combined to create a durable, nonporous, functional and aesthetically pleasing material. The material is available in various colors, patterns and textures, allowing for customization and design flexibility. Solid surface is ideal for public spaces because it can be seamlessly joined. This makes it easy to clean and reduces the risk of bacterial growth, making it a popular choice for areas where cleanliness is a priority.

In addition, ISFA will bring the training course to your shop with the onsite option, which is how the King County Library crew was trained this week. This is ideal for companies and crews who need to train their entire staff and would prefer to do it in their own shop. It saves on downtime by eliminating travel time, minimizing expenses and helping teams upskill as a group. It's also customizable so attendees can focus on fabrication techniques that apply to their lines of work.
