29 Product Ideas for a Mid-$20′s Installed Budget

I am often asked to recommend carpet tile products to meet budgets in the $20′s installed.  These 29 products are priced to meet those tight budgets.  Click on any image below for a direct link to the respective product page on Milliken’s website at http://www.millikencarpet.com.

What makes these products different from others at this price point?  Milliken’s cushion-backing system (standard on all tile products) keeps these products looking new longer by deflecting 50% of the wear off the face yarns.  Cushion also helps tile products seam up better to create a more seamless look (eliminating the need to quarter-turn).  Cushion feels better to stand and walk on and has proven ergonomic benefits for tired feet, knees, hips and backs.  Cushion-back tiles also enhance acoustics (contributing to a quieter environment) and thermal properties (saving energy to heat and cool buildings).  It makes good sense.  After all, would you install carpet in your home without cushion?

Folders and Brochures

Image

Greenest Architectural Folder in the industry

Made of 100% recyclable paperboard – Once the carpet swatches have been removed, a folder may be discarded in any paperboard recycling area. In addition, any waste generated from making a Milliken folder – such as trimmings – is returned to Caraustar, a manufacturer of recycled paperboard and packaging, to be repurposed.

Removable, recyclable carpet swatches – Removable carpet samples are housed within a special cutout in each architectural folder and remain there without the use of adhesives, metal rings or plastic trays. The samples may also be returned to Milliken for recycling after use.

Biodegradable film – Each architectural folder features a protective film laminate that is safer for the environment than other coating alternatives.

Constantine John Doe Modular Tiles with Fine Frame
Specified by Eric Knott, CSO

John Doe is one of four patterns available within Constantine’s Gradation and Associates collection.  The modular tiles on this project feature a Fine Frame sheared around the edge off each tile.  Framing helps to “hide” the tile seams by accenting the seams and therefore the seams participate in creating an overlay pattern to create more visual interest in an otherwise solid looking carpet tile.

Adhesive Free Carpet Installations Contribute to Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality becomes an important topic of conversation as many companies explore ways to create workplaces that contribute to their employees’ health, wellness and productivity.

Commercial carpet adhesives and many other conventional construction adhesives, sealants, “acoustic” caulking, grouts, and mortars used to bond structural components are solvent based and may off-gas large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (including solvents and aromatic hydrocarbons).

One way to eliminate the off-gassing of VOCs in a commercial carpet adhesive is to eliminate the adhesive.  Milliken has invented TractionBack®, a proprietary, bio-based, high-friction polymer  that is an alternative to industry standard, releasable modular tile adhesives.

TractionBack® Technology

  • Cost-effective, no-hassle, environmentally friendly way to install modular carpet tile and keep it securely in-place following installation.
  • Requires little or no use of floor sealants and supplemental adhesives.
  • Reduces or eliminates VOC off-gassing by eliminating the need for floor sealants, wet adhesives, or peel-and-stick applications.
  • Tiles can be lifted and re-placed in their original location 2-3 times without losing traction capabilities.
  • Very effective on raised floor systems where access to systems are important.

Constantine Multiple Yarn Infusion (MYI)

The founder of Constantine Carpet invented and patented a new method of tufting carpet in an effort to create incredibly dense, tight commercial carpet with improved appearance retention.  Multiple Yarn Infusion (MYI) involves tufting carpet with three or four strands of yarn per needle where the rest of the commercial carpet industry tufts carpet with one strand of yarn per needle.

Nylon Yarns used in Commercial Carpet

Each yarn is comprised of two strands of nylon, twisted and heat set to improve resiliency by standing up better to normal foot traffic.  In MYI, different nylons are selected to enhance the beauty of the carpet, creating more of a handmade look.  Often 6 or 8 different strands of nylon are included in each tuft.  Each nylon takes color differently in a continuous, post-dye method to create a more diverse and visually appealing aesthetic with regard to pattern and color.
