CARPET BACKINGS
WellBAC® Cushion Backing Family
Backing is critical to the performance, durability, and appearance retention of a carpet tile. The right backing ensures that the carpet tile remains dimensionally stable and lays flat on the floor, providing acoustic, insulation, and sustainability benefits.
The backing is constructed with multiple supportive layers, making it ideal for use in various high-traffic areas.
WellBAC® Backing Features & Benefits
Underfoot Comfort
Our carpet and LVT products provide superior underfoot comfort, having a positive effect on occupants' well‑being.
Our carpet tile WellBAC® cushion backing can reduce muscle strain by as much as 24% compared to hardback carpet, which is especially important in sit-to-stand workplaces.

Acoustics
Noise causes stress and hinders concentration. That's why Milliken makes the quietest floors in the industry.
Our WellBAC® cushion-backed carpet tiles absorb 50% more noise than PVC-backed carpet and three times more than hard-surface flooring - for more quieter and productive spaces.
2 of 5WellBAC® Backing Features & Benefits
Durability
WellBAC® Comfort carpet tiles use 78% recycled foam for cushion backing, prolonging the life expectancy of the carpet tiles compared with hardback products.
The use of recycled foam results in 14-22% less new raw material used in WellBAC® Comfort carpet tiles.

Moisture Management
WellBAC® open-cell and non-reactive cushion backing is a moisture solution all by itself. It allows the floor to breathe and moisture to evaporate, enhancing the installation process. It also minimises damp conditions, reducing the environment for mold and mildew.
Both our carpet and LVT have a one-step no-test warranty option, saving significantly on floor preparation, materials, and installation.

Sustainability
WellBAC® cushion backing is 100% PVC FREE, using a safe and non-reactive Polyolefin based composite and is third-party verified Declare Red List Free.
All WellBAC® cushion backings are 100% recyclable in its end of life.
The felt layer is made from recycled polyester (PET). Every square carpet tile uses 5 recycled water bottles.
5 of 5Milliken's innovative open-cell cushion provides the best combination of durability and support, with superior protection against wear and tear. Unlike closed cell cushions, this type of carpet backing 're-inflates' after compression, protecting carpet fibers for longer than any other type of carpet backing.
The recycled foam layer provides superior underfoot comfort and acoustics. Offered in two different thickness layers of cushion backing.
