What are the main considerations when it comes to choosing surfaces for the retail environment? It’s important that retail designers strike the right balance between creating attractive and customer friendly environments which can also withstand huge daily footfall. Materials that are highly durable are key here and hygiene is an ever more important consideration. There’s also a heightened focus on fire prevention for many customers in the retail sector. With Merinolam customers are assured of a product that offers huge design scope, with the assurance of a brand that is committed to the highest standards in its manufacturing processes. Merino offers certifications including Greenguard, FSC®, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and EN 438. Supply chain issues and the impact on product availability have dominated over the past 18 months. How has IDS dealt with this? We are the UK’s largest distributor of decorative surfaces and as such our financial strength, size, network of UK wide branches and strong relationships with manufacturing partners means we can hold an extensive stock on the
ground across all our product lines. These qualities mean we’ve been able to assure continuity of supply and a guarantee of accurate, on time delivery during these challenging times. As with all our product lines, Merinolam can be picked, packed and delivered to customers within 24-48 hours nationwide, even just one sheet if required. This will avoid any time penalty clauses and ensure retail projects remain on track.
