For most families, this is the last full week of summer vacation. Next week, at least at my house, children will be back to school. For them it’s time to make the change from the carefree lazy days of summer and get serious again about learning and absorbing critical information that will help them throughout their life. As we all know, you’re never too old to learn. Continuous education is very important to the progression of our industry. Architects and engineers use continuous education credits to stay up to date on relevant information and product offering that they use in their designs. Contractors remain competitive by learning about new products and applications. ACH Foam Technologies has many great products designed to benefit the design community, the contractors and ultimately the building owners.
