Social distance floor markings have proven to be effective in making sure that individuals are properly physically apart during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Milliken is a company that is paying great attention to this as it launches its latest flooring collection, featuring the 'Social Factor' carpet tiles—intended to be used in the workplace.
The new design is debuted just in time, as many governments are beginning to enter phases of re-openning. As more and more individuals return to the communal office environment, it is important that safety measures are still honored in order to avoid overburdening the healthcare system.
In addition to the social distance floor carpet design, Milliken has also debuted the 'Crafted Series' and the 'Change Agent' which are described to "bring the outside in."
