Market Place

We watch the different trends in the market place and see that customers are not only more selective in their purchases but also far more ‘savvy’ when it comes to choosing a good underlay which will protect their carpet investment by increasing the performance and extending the wear capabilities. Cloud 9 underlay will help with lower energy costs as they are very good insulators of sound and heat and they can also be recycled. So all in all helping to look after the environment. We always listen to our customers and provide them with products they want, when they want it. Customer service is an important element in the achievement of our customer satisfaction.
