Impey’s ‘We Are Wetrooms’ Bitesize online training webinar took place late last month and was hosted by Shaun Hunt, the company’s technical and trade marketing manager.
The webinar provided an insight into the training that the company has to offer, whilst showcasing some of its products such as the Aqua-Dec EasyFit wetroom floor former and its waterproofing membrane, WaterGuard.
Two videos were shown in the bitesize webinar, one showed the basics of an EasyFit installation. The second video showed a more technical approach to the installation, which Shaun said was more detailed and “honest”. The video highlighted the possibilities of potential errors and how to correct them.
The Aqua-Dec EasyFit is in its fourth generation. According to Shaun, it is Impey’s most popular product and has been evolved to be more convenient as it is designed to be fitted the same day. The video explained that the floor former is hatched on the bottom side, which allows it to sit on the bedding that it evenly spread over concrete. The hatched area can also be trimmed to fit and adapt to different types of wetrooms and aesthetics.
Impey’s Waterguard is a waterproofing membrane and has a lifetime guarantee. Shaun said that the product has a sticky rubber backing and allows the floor of the building structure it is put into to “move, shrink and settle”. It allows the natural movement of the floor without affecting the top layer.
Once a month on a Friday, Impey hosts a two hour training webinar. Shaun said the aim behind this is to “inject a bit of confidence” into those in the webinars. However, the company has also introduced ‘60 second solutions’ which are short training videos no longer than 60 seconds. Impey has over 40 of these videos, aimed at installers who don’t have the time, attention span or may not need to participate in a full two hour session, it explained.
