Hi All,

The coir option should be a lot less expensive than carpet (and far
more effective in protecting the lift carpet). Coir is not in fact
carpet but wiry matting such as seen in door mats -  so the two should
not be confused. I don't see that the insurance would have the
slightest problem with our choosing this option if others agree.  It
would be good to know if they do...

Regards,
Di
