Burmatex academy sheet Sapphire Blue 11562

Burmatex Academy sheet in Sapphire Blue 11562 is a heavy contract carpet tile designed for high-traffic educational and commercial settings. The deep blue colour works well in meeting spaces, corridors and learning environments where durability matters more than show.

The pile uses solution-dyed polypropylene and nylon blended with 5% recycled polyester, giving you colour that won’t fade and fibres that hold up to constant foot traffic. Backed with BioBase recycled material, it cuts embodied carbon without cutting performance. The 940g/m2 pile weight and anti-fray technology keep seams tight and the surface intact even when chairs roll or trolleys pass daily.

Where it works

Schools, colleges, universities and any heavy-footfall commercial space benefit from Academy sheet. The deep Sapphire Blue colour masks wear and hides dust, making maintenance simpler in busy buildings. Castor chair use is rated for continuous rolling without damage.

Installation

Academy sheet is laid using standard carpet adhesive. It’s compatible with underfloor heating systems up to 27°C surface temperature.

Looking after it

Vacuum and shampoo using standard carpet methods. Colour fastness to light meets BS EN ISO 105 grade 6 minimum, so fading is minimal even in bright corridors. When it reaches end of life, Burmatex’s reco2very take-back scheme diverts it from landfill and into the recycling loop.

The A+ VOC rating means low off-gassing in occupied spaces. It meets WELL Building Standards and contributes to LEED accreditation for sustainable building projects.
