Milliken’s brand new capsule floor tile collection ‘The Sisal Edit’ draws its inspiration from the tactility and textures of plant fibres, in particular: sisal, seagrass, and jute. The collection is led by a natural aesthetic, neutral colours and biophilic design, but interpreted for more practical use in heavy wear environments such as the workplace or hospitality interiors.
The Sisal Edit has been created by the Milliken in-house design team and made from the company’s manufacturing plant in Wigan, UK. It celebrates the trend for natural fibres and softer colours (sun-washed and neutral, with chalky whites, warm oat, soft taupe and pale clay) in interior design. And reflects a shift toward a natural and tonal softness. This trend aligns perfectly with Sisal Edit’s muted and earthy colourways, offering designers a way to create calm, grounded spaces that feel special and comfortable.
The Sisal Edit has three designs: Looma, Zagora and Meela. In each a variety of weaves are used to create different textures, patterns and levels of durability. They all reinterpret organic textures for today’s work, public and living spaces. They offer both elegance and sophistication, paired with a refined tactile and textural appeal, resulting in a premium appearance while maintaining the highest standards of performance and sustainability.
A collection crafted for interiors that demand versatility and style while being heavily used, such as hospitality environments and build-to-rent apartments. The Sisal Edit delivers a high-end look and feel with the durability high-traffic spaces require. WellBAC® Comfort Plus cushion backing significantly improves underfoot comfort and acoustics. It helps to create a quieter, more comfortable experience thanks to superior sound absorption and cushioned backing. By mitigating wear and tear, WellBAC® extends the lifespan of Milliken flooring, reducing its life cycle impact and makes re-use easier.
The optional addition of Milliken’s TractionBack® friction coating to the cushion backing enables glue free installation. Minimising waste and potentially harmful VOC’s. Glue free installation also facilitates re-use of the carpet tiles.
A companion collection is also available, where budget is paramount, a value engineered interpretation: The Sisal Edit Retold – a lighter weight construction using Milliken’s WELLBAC® Comfort backing. Although less highly textured than The Sisal Edit a sense of depth and weight is created using Milliken’s patented Millitron® printing technology.
As with all Milliken flooring collections, sustainability is at its core - responsibly designed to meet today’s environmental standards, supporting green building schemes without compromising on design. The Sisal Edit is part of Milliken’s M/PACT™ programme which off-sets the full cradle-to-gate carbon footprint and is manufactured in Milliken’s UK manufacturing base certified to: ISO9001:2015 / ISO14001 / ISO45001 / ISO50001 using renewable electricity.

The backing has 95% recycled open cell polyurethane cushion backing.
