Its products are organized under a 'good-better-best' tiering structure (Standard Choice, Preferred Choice, Perfect Choice) and span residential carpet cushion, commercial carpet cushion (Tred-MOR), hard surface underlayment for ceramic/porcelain tile (ACI-125), luxury vinyl tile (Whisper Step), engineered and solid hardwood (Scotchgard Guardian), and area rug pads (Firm Grip).
