One place for systems, technical documents, training links and brand materials – so designers, contractors, installers and brand teams are all working from the same Framework, not separate folders.

How to use this hub
This page is the shortcut for people already working with ISF – designers, studios, contractors, installers and brand teams. It doesn’t replace the Studio, Academy or Installer Network; it gives you the links, documents and starting points that make those relationships easier to run.
Use this hub to jump straight to system pages, technical overviews, catalogue library and Studio / CPD support. It’s the fastest way to check “what sits behind this finish?” or “which Level does this require?” while you’re drawing.
View designer resources ↗Quick access to application guides, technical data, tools, Academy Levels and Installer Network information – so site planning, tenders and method statements all refer to the same systems.
View installer resources ↗Links to brand collaborations, exhibition work, Studio partnerships and key “public” pages you can share with clients, guests and internal teams without dropping them into the technical back-end of the site.
View brand resources ↗Systems & documents
HTML system pages for microcement, Waterproof Artistic Walls, Designer Plaster, Metallic & Industrial, Silk & Suede and Artistic Textures – designed for designers, installers and clients to read together.
Deeper technical documents for partners who need build-ups, classifications and step-by-step application sequences – ideal for method statements, risk reviews and training prep.
Digital versions of the catalogue sets and palette pages used in the London Studio – useful when you need to share options quickly with clients or colleagues who haven’t visited the Studio yet.
Overviews of the exhibition stands and public fieldwork that shaped the Framework – helpful when you need to explain “where this way of working came from” to clients or internal reviewers.
For designers & studios
These resources are what we most often send to architects, interior designers and studio partners – they connect concept work to systems, CPD and Studio support without dropping you into the wrong level of detail.
Make the London Studio part of your workflow – Framework CPD sessions, project design clinics and ongoing partnerships that link directly to the Academy and Installer Network.
High-level story for clients, partners and internal teams – who ISF is, how the Framework works and why Italian systems are held this way in the UK.
For installers & site teams
If you run teams on site – as an installer, main contractor or developer – these links are the quickest way to see how training, Levels and systems fit together, and where to find application detail and tools.
Six Levels of training, from foundations and decorative walls through to continuous floors and wet systems. Use this to understand what experience is expected for each type of work.
How to join the Network, how projects are matched by Level and system, and how we support your teams on live schemes – from mock-ups to method discussions with designers and clients.
Recommended tools, trowels, mixers and ancillary products that match the systems we teach and support – so you’re not guessing from generic lists.
Brand & exhibitions
These links are safe to share with clients, marketing teams and internal stakeholders – they show the brand, the exhibitions and the kind of work ISF does in public, without dropping into raw technical data.
How ISF works with hotels, retailers and design-led brands to build a repeatable surface language across lobbies, suites, stores and campaigns.
The “built in public” side of the Framework – stands at Coventry, Surface Design Show, Harrogate, Cologne and ExCeL London, plus how those experiments feed back into standard systems.
Partner support
This form comes straight to the ISF team. Use it for anything that doesn’t fit neatly into the links above – unusual substrates, emerging systems, brand-level questions or help tracing the right document or Level for a specific scheme.
