Universal Textile Technologies

Universal Textile Technologies manufactures performance backing systems for carpet and synthetic turf. A leader in environmentally conscious practices and products, UTT's BioCelTM, EnviroCelTM and EnviroCel HomeTM backings have been widely recognized as the first choice in specifying carpet backing for commercial, hospitality, and residential applications. UTT's polyurethane performance carpet backings provide many benefits to carpet, turf and the overall integrity of the project.


The leadership behind Universal Textiles Technologies (UTT Backings) has supplied the carpet industry with multiple backing technologies for over 30 years. As a constant innovator in the industry, UTT was one of the first companies to pursue an environmentally-friendly backing system for carpet. Constructed with rapidly renewable natural oils and recycled materials including PET, our performance backings provide a performance-focused alternative to traditional latex or PVC backings. UTT carpet backings are sold under a variety of brands and trademarks and are available for various market segments including corporate, healthcare, Main Street, residential and education. With multiple products for various applications, UTT continues to be the specified choice for designers, architects and homeowners.

When it comes to the performance of your floors, what you don’t see is just as important as what you do. Carpet backing affects the life and durability of the entire floor. Universal Textile Technologies has developed two trademarked backing systems, BioCel™ and EnviroCel™, that can stand up under a range of conditions.
