Burmatex academy sheet Ink Blue 11507

Burmatex Academy sheet in Ink Blue 11507 is a heavy-duty carpet made for schools, colleges and high-traffic contract spaces. The deep blue holds its colour under foot and fluorescent light alike, with solution-dyed fibres that resist fading even in busy hallways and lecture halls. Its low light reflectance (LRV 2.71) keeps glare low in tech-heavy classrooms.

The backing sets this carpet apart. BioBase recycled backing replaces virgin material, cutting embodied carbon whilst meeting BS EN ISO 14021 standards. The pile itself blends 80% polypropylene, 15% nylon and 5% recycled polyester, all made using 100% certified renewable electricity. Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology locks the edges tight, so sheet edges hold firm under heavy foot traffic without fraying or unravelling.

This carpet suits any high-traffic interior where durability matters. Schools and colleges take the strain: communal corridors, lecture theatres, breakout areas. Universities run it into stairwells and common rooms. Reception areas, training facilities and public spaces all handle Ink Blue well. The heavy contract classification means it performs where standard carpet fails.

Thermal resistance of 0.55 TOG keeps underfoot comfort high without trapping heat, ideal for warm spaces with high occupancy. Static loading recovers above 80% within 24 hours (BS 4939:1987), so the pile springs back even after furniture sits in place for weeks.

Cleaning is straightforward. Ink Blue takes standard carpet shampoo without bleeding or fading, tested to BS 1006 UK-TB grade 4. Vacuum regularly and spot-clean spills fast. The A+ VOC rating means low chemical off-gassing, a real benefit in schools where air quality matters. Burmatex reco2very take-back service collects used sheet carpet at end of life, avoiding landfill and closing the loop.

15-year commercial warranty backs the lot. The carpet carries third-party independent product-specific Environmental Product Declarations and contributes to LEED accreditation, WELL Building Standards compliance and SKA standards. Choose a low-carbon sheet that performs.
