Flooring contractors can sharpen their skills and spread holiday cheer this December as Bona® welcomes back its Holiday Sand and Finish Schools with a little help from Santa and his trusty contractor helpers. Registration is now open for the December sessions, offering hands-on education and training with the Bona System. In the spirit of giving, the schools are free to attend with a toy or monetary donation to local charities.
Bona has offered Holiday Sand and Finish Schools for five years. These schools offer in-depth, expert-led instruction from Bona System® experts, helping contractors strengthen skills across the entire hardwood floor sanding, staining, and refinishing processes. This year’s schools will take place at four regional offices across North America: Charlotte, N.C.; Englewood, Colo.; Manalapan, N.J.; and Toronto, Ontario.
“Our Holiday Sand and Finish Schools bring contractors together to build their skills, connect with peers and support their local communities,” said Bill Herbert, senior director of marketing for Bona US. “It’s a great way to wrap up the year while preparing for the next. These classes fill up quickly, so we encourage contractors to register early and join us for hands-on learning and holiday fun.”Dates, location, and local charities for each include:
