We carry Milliken’s line of residential cushion-back carpet tile called Legato.
Tesserae has been discontinued, but with the dropping of Legato by the big box stores, we’ll be your source! You can install it yourself, and I’d be happy to give you some installation tips, or we can install it for you.
Here is what Milliken has to say about the line from their website:
Easy to Install, Easy to Replace
Legato™ Carpet System is designed to keep its beauty for years to come.
“You Can Do It” Carpet
Lasting Beauty: Legato gives you the rich, plush look and feel of wall-to-wall carpet – and it’s perfect for any room in your home.
Easy to Install:
Legato’s interlocking panel system is designed for simplicity and complete ease of DIY installation.
Integrated Floor Pad:
The Legato carpet system features a built-in TractionBack™ non-slip floor pad for a firm hold to the floor. Because it’s integrated into the panel, there’s no need to buy a separate pad.
Carefree Carpet System:
Each Legato panel fits into place easily and quickly. Should damage from stains or excessive wear occur, you can easily remove and replace individual panels to maintain the beauty of your carpet for years to come.”
Try on the Milliken Legato Floor Calculator to see how much you may need.
Here is a link to the installation instructions.
Add to that the fact that Milliken produces their flooring in the greenest, most environmentally-friendly manufacturing facility in the world! Now THAT’S something to crow about!

Stay tuned for additions to this post. I just had to put it here after watching the Weather Channel’s eco-focused show this weekend featuring the CEO of Interface.
They, along with Milliken, are far ahead of the curve in the flooring industry when it comes to running their businesses by the “green” book. In fact, their headquarters is certified Platinum by the US Green Building Council under the LEED certification system.
Here is a brief look at their take on green business:
Seven Fronts
Eliminate Waste: Eliminating all forms of waste in every area of business;
Benign Emissions: Eliminating toxic substances from products, vehicles and facilities;
Renewable Energy: Operating facilities with renewable energy sources – solar, wind, landfill gas, biomass and low impact hydroelectric;
Closing the Loop: Redesigning processes and products to close the technical loop using recovered and bio-based materials;
Resource-Efficient Transportation: Transporting people and products efficiently to reduce waste and emissions;
Sensitizing Stakeholders: Creating a culture that integrates sustainability principles and improves people’s lives and livelihoods;
Redesign Commerce: Creating a new business model that demonstrates and supports the value of sustainability-based commerce;
We’ve created this ourselves, and it hasn’t been easy. Sustainability is complex. It involves the thousands of ways our company connects to society and the natural world.
Our largest and most difficult problem to overcome has been the existing laws and regulations governing commerce. The current infrastructure subsidizes unsustainable industrial processes. To make significant progress, we will need the cooperation of government and other industrial partners to shift taxation away from economic and social benefits, (labor, income and investment) to detriments, (pollution, waste, and the loss of primary resources).
In fact, check out Interface’s “Mission Zero” concept:
THAT’S what I’d call a worthy ambission.

You’ve reached Commercial Carpets of America’s blog. We’re a full-service flooring company serving commercial, residential and government customers across the country.
Below is a list of our must-sell inventory in carpet rolls and carpet tile.
These items represent fantastic deals since we have 3 warehouses full of inventory ranging from vct, sheet vinyl, linoleum, carpet, carpet tile, laminate/pergo, hardwood, cove base and more.
The details are all there including style number, mill, mill name, color number.
So, if you are looking for a specific style number or color, you can save time by hitting “CTRL + F” to search for a specific word or phrase like “Tandus Haiku” and you may find exactly what you need.
NOTE – THE LAST SERIES OF NUMBERS IS WIDTH AND LENGTH. PRICING IS NOT PUBLISHED HERE BECAUSE WE ARE BLOWING THEM OUT. The series of numbers at the end of each line – i.e. 12.5 9.5 – stands for width and length. In other words, 12.5 34 means the roll is 12′6″ wide and 34 feet long.
