Burmatex academy sheet Charcoal Grey 11502

Burmatex Academy sheet in Charcoal Grey 11502 is a heavy contract carpet built for high-traffic schools, colleges and universities. Its deep, neutral tone works in hallways, classrooms and common areas where you need durability without fuss. The carpet is made with solution-dyed polypropylene, nylon and 5% recycled polyester, so it holds colour under constant footfall and sunlight alike.

What makes it work

Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology stops edges unravelling when you’re fitting or if seams take a knock. The backing is BioBase recycled material, made from waste and certified under BS EN ISO 14021. This cuts waste and carbon compared to virgin backing. The pile sits at 940g/m2, dense enough to take punishment in busy spaces without flattening into tracks.

Where it fits

This is a sheet carpet, not tiles, so you’re laying a continuous floor in hallways, corridors and open teaching spaces. It passes BS EN 985 for continuous castor chair use, so it handles rolling furniture in offices and seminar rooms. Heavy Contract classification means it’s rated for sustained high footfall in educational and public buildings.

Installation and care

Lay it as gluedown sheet flooring on a prepared subfloor. The colour fastness to light meets BS EN ISO 105 Grade 6 minimum, and shampoo fastness is Grade 4 or better, so standard contract cleaning won’t fade or stain it. VOC rating is A+ for indoor air quality. Keep underfloor heating at 27°C maximum if you use it.

Burmatex backs this with a 15 year commercial warranty. When the carpet reaches end of life, the reco2very take-back service collects it for recycling, keeping it out of landfill.
