PRODUCT BENEFITS

Deliver lasting comfort and acoustic control in high-traffic spaces with science-backed, low-maintenance flooring.

Enhanced Comfort

Our WellBAC® cushion carpet tile reduces muscle fatigue by 24% and heel impact by 30% compared to hardbacked products, delivering greater comfort in high-use government spaces where people are on their feet throughout the day.

Long-Term Value

Moisture issues are common in school buildings—but costly mitigation doesn’t have to be. Our WellBAC® cushion-backed carpet tile is designed to let floors breathe, allowing moisture vapor to evaporate naturally without the need for primers or surface treatments. That means faster installations, fewer delays, and reduced risk of future flooring failures.

Fast Delivery

Keep projects on track with Milliken’s quick-ship carpet and resilient flooring—made in the USA and compliant with procurement regulations. Rely on dependable lead times and responsive service, so you meet deadlines and policy requirements with confidence, even under tight schedules.

Healthier Spaces

Milliken carpet tiles are Red List Free and PVC-Free, and our OBEX™ entry systems help block dirt and contaminants at the door—supporting improved indoor air quality and facility cleanliness.

Acoustics

WellBAC® cushion-backed carpet absorbs up to 50% more sound than hardback carpet—helping reduce noise and improve focus in busy government spaces.
