Milliken’s Theory 2.0

Milliken announces Theory 2.0, a recently expanded collection from the global floor covering division. The revamped line is a continuation of the fun and playful design, providing more flexibility for customization with combinations of modern colors and updated patterns.

From contemporary circles to classic letter forms, Milliken’s Theory 2.0 collection brings intrigue and discovery to the floor. Designers can take on a neutral palette or make a bold statement with predetermined accents – known as vibes – that connect and move between multi-directional textures, while still ordering a standard collection. With over 7,300 different custom combinations available, Theory 2.0 provides an array of options that range from rational to abstract – to create a variety of new aesthetics.

Additional details include:

  • Nine patterns providing small to mid-scale forms.
  • Sixteen neutrals, with eight different color vibe options.
  • Modular tile (1 meter x 1 meter) for increased functionality.
  • Tufted Texture Loop Construction with Nylon Type 6,6 Fiber.

TractionBack Technology

Theory 2.0 is available with TractionBack technology – a modular carpet backing that is less costly, environmentally superior, faster and easier to use compared to wet adhesives or peel and stick adhesives.

Milliken’s patented TractionBack simplifies floor covering installation with an environmentally superior alternative backing system for laying modular carpet tile. In addition to eliminating the need for wet adhesives or peel and stick techniques, TractionBack’s high-friction coating doesn’t require any additional tools for installation – such as a gun, to install the carpet – and uses less materials and energy. No “peel” is required, just “stick” with TractionBack.
