Unifloor

Underlay

Henk and Dana Bosgoed set up their company Bosgoed Holding in 1978. It has grown to be a renowned player on the world stage with products you cannot see or hear – curtain rails and underlay for floors to reduce noise. Recently they introduced window film to their range. Underlay production falls under the subsidiary Unifloor Underlay, an established name in the sector. As market leader in The Netherlands, it offers a suitable underlay for almost every sort of floor.

Greatly reduces noise

Some 42 different sorts of underlay have been developed under the Jumpax brand. They are renowned for their strong, soundproofing properties. Noise reduction tests for underlays are measured in Europe according to the latest ISO 101 40-3: 2010-12 norm. These tests conform to the most modern requirements of industry associations in The Netherlands and Europe. Unifloor has no less than 29 combinations certified by the Dutch Foundation for Noise Pollution (NSG).

A great advantage is that the underlays can be laid loose simply, using a minimum of tools. Because they do not need to be glued and dried, floors can be laid quickly and in phases, so there is no need to empty the whole space. Underlay has an excellent levelling property and are suited to every sort of top floor. Unifloor is aware of its social responsibility and works as much as possible with wood from FSC or PEFC certified forests. Unifloor also employs a lot of workers who find it difficult to enter the labour market.

Export

Unifloor supplies retail businesses and flooring companies at home and abroad. The 200-strong workforce is spread over three plants in The Netherlands and Germany. Sales and marketing support for retailers is carried out by 18 workers in the two countries.

Growth

Unifloor leads the way in new developments and almost every year its R & D centre comes up with a new underlay solution. Besides selling new products, the strategy for the next few years is to expand further in

Scandinavia, France and Germany. Already a third of turnover comes from overseas and this segment is expected to continue to grow.
