As a proprietary technology, the new generation Millitron® was re-engineered with powerful new upgrades. Combining an extended range of colour options with enhanced print accuracy Milliken designers can apply their creativity with greater control over how colour is placed on the carpet.
NEW COLOUR CAPABILITY
With a vast bank of new colours to explore, this broader palette allows for more nuanced shades and more subtle tonal variations. When interacting with new constructions and textures, the colour can be applied with supreme precision to build a beautiful sense of depth and layering. The recently launched Painted Garden plank design collection is testament to what can be achieved with this new improved colour capability.

NEW POSSIBILITIES IN PATTERN
With the ability to place colour with even more pin-point accuracy than before, the new advanced Millitron® allows Milliken’s designers to develop an additional level of complexity and sophistication in patterning.
Painted Garden’s delicate new botanical design overlays demonstrate a layering of delicate pattern with soft textures. This illustrates the refined nature of what can be achieved when creating quite intricate designs.
In a different way, the bold beauty of the Shoe Lane collection demonstrates the pin-sharp lines and smooth sweeping curves that are possible with this new level of precise print definition.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR COMMERCIAL INTERIORS?
The additional vast palette of colours helps ensure that Milliken’s carpet design collections are continually evolving and in tune with interior trends. This presents interior designers with new opportunities to co-ordinate their floor coverings more easily with other interior finishes.
As a flexible, modular print-based design system, the Millitron® upgrades are enabling the Milliken’s designers to push boundaries and enter new territories in carpet design. With the aim of continually inspiring customers, the Milliken team can also be more responsive to reflect their customers’ changing colour and styling requirements. Looking beyond Milliken’s extensive design catalogue, its Custom Design Service can now also deliver even greater design possibilities!
Design consistency and repeatability in modular carpet design is paramount, particularly when supplying customers across multiple sites and timeframes around the globe. With an increased level accuracy in colour placement, Milliken’s customers can be assured of getting perfectly matched designs every time, no matter how subtle the colours or complex the design.
WHAT IF I WANT A PLAIN LOOKING CARPET?
Alongside its Millitron® printed carpet collections, Milliken’s solution dyed nylon carpet (SDN) ranges are manufactured with a completely different approach. With the yarns pre-dyed before the carpet is constructed, these carpet designs can provide a rich, saturated look and different textural effects.
Together with the wider Millitron® colour palette, Milliken’s designers now have even more design opportunities to co-ordinate its print and SDN carpet collections giving customers even more possibilities when selecting creative carpet solutions for their projects.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FOR THE FUTURE?
For Milliken’s global design team, this is an incredibly exciting time of exploration and discovery of where these new carpet design capabilities can take them creatively. For Milliken’s customers, new inspirations in flooring designs for the future seems endless. Watch this space.
