Why Choose Modular Carpet?
The heavy traffic and potential abuses of the floor area within public facilities make choosing the floor covering a vital decision. Modular carpet with cushion backing is increasingly popular as it provides a high aesthetic standard, great wear performance and is operations-friendly.
Flexible and Easy to Maintain
Modular carpet is flexible and practical. If an individual tile becomes soiled or damaged, it can be quickly replaced. Milliken's adhesive-free TractionBack® system makes the carpet tile particularly easy to lift and exchange. This flexibility allows a high aesthetic standard to be maintained, with minimal disruption to the facility. This is an important benefit when events are booked back to back.
Milliken understands the abuse that a floor covering can take in a busy public space venue and has become expert at creating carpet patterns that can actually hide spills and stains until they can be cleaned. The carpet serves to camouflage food and beverage stains, projecting a cleaner image.
Improving Wear Performance and Acoustics
Not only does the Comfort Plus® cushion backing act as a shock absorber, absorbing wear and protecting the carpet, it also improves acoustics. Studies by the Carpet & Rug Institute show that carpet absorbs airborne sound and reduces surface or "footfall" noises. Polyurethane cushion, like that used by Milliken, was found to be especially effective in absorbing noise.
Ergonomic and Safety Benefits
A study by Dow Chemical and Milliken showed that cushion-backed carpet significantly reduces leg fatigue. Patrons enjoy this ergonomic benefit, but it is most appreciated by employees who spend their working hours on their feet. Carpets also reduce slips and falls associated with spills. Many venues experience a drop in insurance rates as a result of reduced slips and falls.
