Milliken presents Major Frequency 2.0 - a floor plank collection reenergised with a new design, new colours and new yarn.

Milliken presents Major Frequency 2.0 - a floor plank collection reenergised with a new design, new colours and new yarn.

Major Frequency 2.0 represents a refined evolution and progression of the collection initially introduced by Milliken in 2020.

The floor plank collection is designed and manufactured in-house from the company’s UK HQ in Wigan. Despite a limited launch during the year of lockdown, Major Frequency has proved to be a global bestseller. The original colour range has been substantially broadened to now include 25 shades, incorporating new neutrals as well as an array of contemporary pastels.

Major Frequency 2.0 is made from Thrive Matter Yarn Universal Fibers® - a high-performance nylon yarn with a net positive climate impact, made primarily from recycled materials and recognised as one of the lowest carbon footprint nylon fibres in the world. To further reduce the environmental footprint of the collection, 50% of all materials used are sourced close to Milliken’s Wigan factory.

As well as the sustainability benefits Major Frequency 2.0 offers, other features include enhanced acoustic performance through the use of WellBAC Comfort cushion backing, carpet that lasts longer (15 year warranty) and adhesive free installation with Milliken’s patented TractionBack® 2.0 (available on request) glue free installation system for improved IAQ and ease of reuse.

One new design ‘Distortion’ forms the basis of the whole collection, and can be used in a wide variety of ways to markedly different effects. It expresses a slightly larger yet more diluted flow within positive and negative space. It amplifies texture to bring an additional sensory element to any environment.

As with all Milliken flooring collections, sustainability and wellbeing form the starting point when it comes to the choice of materials and the manufacturing process. Milliken supports the advancement of a circular economy, using less new raw materials, creating less waste, and focusing on increasing recycled materials in flooring products.

Major Frequency 2.0 is manufactured in an ISO 14001 / ISO 50001 certified location, in Wigan, using renewable energy. The collection is made of 61% Recycled Content by total weight. The carpet tile backing is made from 95% recycled content. It is certified: Cradle to cradle Silver, Declare Red List free. Furthermore, it is certified for IAQ CRI Green Label Plus / TUV Proficert Premium / GUT.

Major Frequency is available with Milliken’s patented Tractionback™ 2.0 on request to provide glue-free installation and ease of re-use. Milliken flooring works with WELL™ - by aligning with up to 14 WELL feature specifications, Milliken’s products can contribute to the achievement of 14 points and help to meet two preconditions.
