Sika
February 11, 2026

This year-long, in-person training clinic is designed to educate contractors and installers on best practices when using components of Schönox® and the Sika® Secure System. These best practices will focus on flooring installation solutions and industry standards that pertain to subfloor surface preparation, moisture mitigation, acoustical control, flooring adhesives, and tile setting materials. 

 The STEP Series consists of two-day training events that will be conducted every month, at regionally located facilities throughout the entire nation and run through the duration of the year. Contractors, installers, and industry professionals can sign up for a STEP Series training course closest to them by visiting the following link:

Lunch and all necessary installation materials and tools will be provided by Sika®. Upon conclusion of the STEP event, all parties that complete training will receive a Certificate of Training Completion from Sika® Corporation.

 “Sika is well-known throughout the flooring industry for developing problem-solving solutions and best-in-class training for the professional installer,” said Shane Jenkins, Technical Director, Interior Finishing at Sika® Corporation. “Our goal with the STEP Series is to utilize the vast experience of our technical team to better equip contractors and installers with the technical know-how to consistently achieve successful flooring installations. We plan to provide all attendees with the proper vocational knowledge and hands on experience that will enable them to realize the advanced benefits of the Schonox® and Sika® Secure System. This will in turn put them in the best possible position to succeed and tackle even more challenging installations. This is a great way to expand your capabilities and best understand the value of system solutions all at the expense of Sika.” 

 The Sika® Secure System provides installers with a solution-based, multi-tier system product offering that provides an enhanced warranty from a trusted single-source supplier. When used in conjunction with one another, the Sika® Secure System forms a true top-to-bottom flooring installation solution that includes elements of the Schonox®, SikaBond®, SikaLevel®, and SikaTile® product lines.
