Burmatex academy sheet Emerald Green 11583

Burmatex Academy in Emerald Green 11583 is a heavy contract carpet sheet designed for spaces that take real punishment. The colour is a deep, professional green that works well in education settings, offices and hallways where footfall never lets up. It’s solution-dyed so the colour runs right through the fibre, and it won’t fade or wear pale even after years of heavy use.

The backing is where Academy stands out. Burmatex use a unique BioBase recycled backing made from recycled material certified to BS EN ISO 14021, which means the whole product has a smaller carbon footprint. The fibre mix itself includes 5% recycled polyester alongside polypropylene and nylon, and it’s all made using 100% certified renewable electricity.

Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology is built in. You get a carpet sheet that won’t unravel at the edges even under constant traffic, which cuts maintenance and keeps the finish clean for longer. The 940g/m2 pile weight gives it density and recovery. Castor chairs roll over it without problems, and it passes continuous-use testing to BS EN 985.

Where it works

Academy sheet is built for heavy footfall. Schools, colleges and universities are the natural fit. It handles corridors, classrooms and common areas where traffic is constant. Office environments, hospitals and public buildings all suit it. The 15-year warranty is there because it’s made to last in those settings.

Installation

Academy is supplied as sheet carpet and is fixed to the subfloor as a continuous covering, giving you fewer seams and a neater finish than tiles. Your fitter will prepare the floor and stick it down to create a durable bond in high-traffic zones.
