Southland Floors carries carpet cushion to meet the needs of residential and commercial applications

The selection of cushions correlates to the requirements of the carpets represented in our showroom. Carpet manufacturers are specific about the use of carpet cushion to keep wear-and lifetime warranties in play. Old corner-cutting tricks, like increasing pile height to eliminate using a cushion, have been rejected because:

1. They may be effective on an extremely short term basis, with the carpet wearing out prematurely.
2. Such practices are in violation of and invalidate manufacturers warranties, leaving customers no redress except with the retailer which is untenable.
