Burmatex academy tiles Ink Blue 11807

Burmatex Academy carpet tiles in Ink Blue 11807 are built for heavy footfall and mess. These 50cm x 50cm tiles come in packs of five square metres, with a deep blue-black tone that hides dirt and scuff marks on busy corridors and communal areas. The backing is BioBase recycled material, and the pile includes 5% recycled polyester, so you get a low-carbon product without cutting corners on durability.

The yarn is solution-dyed, which locks the colour in before weaving. That means fade resistance exceeds BS EN ISO 105 Grade 6. You get bleach cleanability too, so stains wipe out without fuss. The anti-fray and anti-ravel technology keeps edges flat and neat even after years of movement and foot traffic.
