Burmatex academy sheet Horizon Blue 11519

Horizon Blue 11519 is a solution-dyed carpet sheet from Burmatex’s Academy range, made for heavy footfall and continuous use. The mid-tone blue works in schools, colleges, corridors and communal areas where you need colour that hides wear and keeps its look through years of traffic. With an LRV of 7.61, it reads as a solid, practical choice for busy spaces.

What it’s made of

• 80% polypropylene, 15% nylon, 5% recycled polyester
• Solution-dyed fibres for true colour consistency
• Pile weight 940g/m2
• BioBase recycled backing, not virgin plastic
• Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology built in

The recycled polyester content and BioBase backing keep the carbon footprint down without compromise on performance. Made using 100% certified renewable electricity, it carries an A+ VOC rating and third-party verified product-specific environmental product declarations, so it ticks the box for LEED and WELL Building Standards if your project needs that.

Performance and durability

Heavy Contract classification means it stands up to constant footfall. Your castor chairs roll across it without damage (BS EN 985 continuous use pass), and static loading recovery sits above 80% at 24 hours. Colour holds under light and cleaning; you’ll get minimum grade 6 fastness to light, grade 4 to shampoo. The Euroclass Bfl-s1 flammability rating meets commercial building regulations.

Burmatex backs it with a 15-year commercial warranty, and their reco2very take-back service means end-of-life tiles go for recovery, not landfill.

Fit and finish

Sheet format runs continuous across your floor, which suits open-plan rooms and long corridors. Thermal resistance of 0.55 TOG means it sits well over underfloor heating if you have it. Standard installation methods apply; subfloor prep to British Standard keeps it flat and stable.

Order by the square metre. A heavy contract carpet that actually lasts the distance.
