For many people, carpeting in corporate settings consists of dull, plain coloured carpet tiles designed for wearability and stain resistance in high use, high traffic areas. However, a world of colourful, bespoke options exist, suitable for all commercial interior work environments, from workspaces, public spaces, education, hospitality to stunningly designed stadium and clubs.

Printed carpet tiles from Milliken-Ontera offer the benefits of custom floor coverings plus the flexibility and efficiency of large-scale digital printing. For more than 40 years, we’ve been refining and improving the Digital Dye Infusion (DDI) process to create stunning, stylish floor coverings perfect for high-traffic commercial environments.

Our state-of-the-art, in-house colour labs are unique in the floor covering industry, and our goal to rethink and advance techniques used to pattern and colour carpet is constantly evolving. We proudly offer our unique Printworks™, Digital Dye Infusions, to create bespoke couture flooring for any environment. Use our tile visualiser tool to see how Milliken-Ontera can transform your commercial space.

 

Why choose PrintWorks™ DDI technology?

1. Seamless design continuity

Printworks™ Digital Dye Infusion technology allows for colours to diffuse and fade into one another, giving you the ability to create large designs and motifs that would be impossible with Solution Dyed Nylon (SDN). PrintWorks™ offers designers the freedom to create bespoke patterns, colours, and textures, with our cushion backing’s added durability. It creates high-definition, cinematic floor covering patterns that flow seamlessly across modular carpet tiles, adding drama and sophistication to any space.

PrintWorks™ carpet tiles receive their colour and design after being cut, which means the colour reaches every corner of the fibers to create a seam-free floor covering. The result is a smooth and evenly applied design, without the awkward edges of regular carpet tiles.

2. Faster turnaround times

PrintWorks™ is a far more agile manufacturing process than solution-dyed nylon (SDN). Designs are much faster to set up, and the digital-led process makes it easier to switch between colours and styles during colour bonding. Our onsite manufacturing facility allows us to create printed carpet designs in small or large quantities, with shorter lead times, while guaranteeing high-quality results.

3. Design and pattern flexibility

Colour, texture, and pattern play an enormously influential role in affecting mood in any corporate or commercial environment. PrintWorks™ carpet tiles go far beyond the familiar to transform spaces with conscious design choices. In fact, at Milliken-Ontera, we deliberately seek to push the boundaries to create styles mimicking natural and built forms, invoke emotion using colour, portray information, and forge social bonds. Our tile visualiser will show you what’s possible.

4. Colour and texture variety

As well as the pattern, digital infusion – what we commonly call “printing” – allows for a much more comprehensive range of colours and textured designs. We create striking colours with visual depth and incredible patterning, all at the flick of a button. From corporate colours to graduated designs that match playful office aesthetics, Milliken-Ontera will produce a floor covering unmatched in quality and design.

5. Design freedom without compromise

Historically, increased design flexibility led to sacrificing quality or durability. Our printed carpet has the highest durability ratings in the commercial flooring industry. Our team of experienced local designers will work with you to ensure we deliver carpet to meet your exact specifications and requirements.
