Burmatex academy tiles Sapphire Blue 11862

Burmatex Academy Sapphire Blue 11862 is a heavy-contract carpet tile built for high-traffic spaces. This deep, sophisticated blue sits at an LRV of 3.44, which means it masks marks and soiling in busy environments like schools, colleges and universities. The 50cm x 50cm format makes fast, flexible installation across large areas.

The pile is solution-dyed polypropylene with nylon and 5% recycled polyester woven into a tight construction. At 940g/m2 pile weight, it stands up to constant footfall without flattening. The backing is BioBase recycled material, not virgin plastic. Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology stops edges from unravelling when tiles are cut or fitted.

Bleach cleanable. Colour fastness to light is grade 6, minimum, so the blue stays true even in bright spaces or where sunlight is constant. Colour fastness to shampoo is grade 4, backing the durability of commercial cleaning schedules.

Academy tiles fit any subfloor and work with underfloor heating systems. The modular format means you can replace a single tile if damage occurs, rather than lifting the whole floor. Castor chairs run across them continuously without marking or pile loss. Static and dynamic load recovery both exceed standard thresholds.

The 15-year commercial warranty covers the tile. Burmatex’s reco2very take-back scheme accepts used tiles for recycling, eliminating landfill. The product carries A+ VOC certification and is independently verified against third-party environmental product declarations. It contributes to LEED and WELL Building Standards accreditation.
