Burmatex academy tiles Tangerine Orange 11868

Burmatex Academy tiles in Tangerine Orange deliver a bold, energetic look suited to busy educational and commercial spaces. The warm orange tone reads clearly even in dim light, with an LRV of 14.14 that cuts glare and suits high-traffic hallways, classrooms and corridors where contrast matters.

These are tiles built for wear. Heavy contract classification means they take daily footfall, furniture movement and the scrapes of castor chairs without dulling. The pile weight of 940g/m2 stays upright and recovers well under load. Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology keeps edges clean and intact through years of use and repeated removal or repositioning, a real advantage in any space that evolves.

The fibres are solution dyed for even colour throughout the pile, so staining doesn’t leave traces. Bleach cleanable means you can tackle stubborn marks with standard commercial protocols, a huge time saver in education settings where food, ink and body fluids are routine hazards. Colour fastness to shampoo meets BS 1006 minimum grade 4, so they hold tone through regular carpet extraction.

Where it works

Academy tiles suit schools, colleges, universities and any heavy-footfall commercial space. The warm orange works well in learning environments where colour aids wayfinding and energy levels, whilst its dark enough that wear marks and dust stay hidden. Use them in corridors, classrooms, common areas and meeting rooms where resilience and cleanability are priorities.

Installation

Tiles come loose-laid or glued. The 50cm x 50cm format allows swift installation and selective replacement if a tile gets damaged or stained beyond recovery. No large seams mean fewer dirt traps and easier cleaning access.

Looking after it

Vacuum regularly and shampoo with standard commercial carpet extract equipment. Bleach cleanable protocols handle the toughest marks without affecting colour. The backing and fibres resist moisture, reducing mould and odour in damp areas. A 15-year commercial warranty covers wear and manufacture defects under normal heavy contract use.

The recycled backing and 5% recycled polyester in the pile support low-carbon building targets. Made with 100% certified renewable electricity and backed by independently verified product-specific environmental product declarations, Academy tiles contribute to LEED and WELL Building Standard accreditation. End-of-life tiles can enter Burmatex reco2very for no-landfill recovery, diverting waste from disposal.
