Burmatex academy sheet Cherry Red 11570

Burmatex Academy Sheet in Cherry Red 11570 is a heavy contract carpet built for schools, colleges and high-traffic commercial spaces. The deep red colour stands up to dirt and scuffing, so it looks fresher for longer between cleans. It’s solution-dyed, which locks the colour into the fibre itself.

The backing is Burmatex’s BioBase recycled material. The pile contains 5% recycled polyester alongside the core polypropylene and nylon blend, cutting embodied carbon without cutting performance. The whole product is made with 100% certified renewable electricity and carries a 15-year commercial warranty.

Where it works

Academy Sheet performs in any space that sees heavy footfall. Educational settings, hallways, reception areas and open-plan offices all suit it. The anti-fray and anti-ravel technology holds the sheet edges stable, so fitting and ongoing wear don’t fray the perimeter. Castor chairs roll freely without marking, and static loading recovery exceeds 80% within 24 hours.

Installation and underfloor heating

The 30cm sheet format offers quick coverage and fewer seams than tile-based systems. It glues down to prepared subfloors. A thermal resistance of 0.55 TOG means it’s compatible with underfloor heating systems, so you can specify it over warm floors without risk of buckling or heat loss.

Maintenance and guarantee

Shampoo clean it regularly, and the colour fastness rating ensures the deep red holds even after repeated cleaning. A+ VOC rating keeps air quality safe in occupied spaces. The 15-year commercial warranty covers wear and staining in normal contract use. When the carpet reaches end of life, Burmatex’s reco2very take-back service ensures it avoids landfill, with independent third-party EPD certification backing the environmental claims.
