CARPET BACKINGS
WellBAC® Backing Family
Backing is critical to the performance, durability, and appearance retention of carpet tile. The right backing ensures that the carpet tile will lay flat on the floor and will provide acoustic, insulation, and sustainability benefits.
WellBAC® Backing Features & Benefits
Underfoot Comfort
Our carpet and LVT are more comfortable underfoot, which affects everyone in the workplace. In fact, our carpet's 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
Milliken WellBAC® cushion-backed carpet tiles absorb 50% more noise than PVC-backed carpet and three times as much noise as hard-surface flooring.
2 of 5WellBAC® Backing Features & Benefits
Durability
WellBAC® comfort uses 78% recycled foam for cushion backing, and it can prolong the life expectancy of 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® cushion backing has a permeable layer that allows water vapor molecules to pass through your carpet and evaporate away. This eliminates the need to carry out extensive moisture mitigation before installation, and there's no risk of expensive moisture problems either.

WellBAC® backing is 100% PVC FREE, using a safe and non-reactive Polyolefin based composite and is third party verified Red List Free on the Declare label.
