HPS Schönox has selected John McGrath, director, INSTALL, Lew Migliore, president, LGM and Associates Technical Flooring Services and Jim Walker, CEO, International Certified Floorcovering Installers Association (CFI) to judge its Worst Subfloor in North America contest.

John McGrath, director, INSTALL, Lew Migliore, president, LGM and Associates Technical Flooring Services and Jim Walker, CEO, International Certified Floorcovering Installers Association (CFI) will judge the HPS Schönox Worst Subfloor in North America contest.

"Any event designed to showcase the expertise of professional flooring companies and the challenges they face in the field is of special significance for me,” said McGrath.

The contest entries will be independently judged with first, second and third place winners being awarded Schönox products based on the severity of the original subfloor’s condition, the skill and attention to detail taken in executing the project, and the quality of the finished subfloor.

“Installation companies and contractors face a wide range of subfloor challenges on a daily basis in the field,” explained Migliore. “I’ve seen so many of those subfloor issues and see new ones each day; the Schönox contest will likely show us even more.”  

Those entering the contest are asked to photograph the subfloor conditions before and after the subfloor renovation project and submit the photos, along with some project information, at hpsubfloors.com/worstsubfloor where all of the Contest details can be found. Winners will be announced at Surfaces in 2015.
