Burmatex academy sheet Turquoise Blue 11522

Burmatex Academy is a heavy contract carpet sheet designed for busy schools, colleges and universities. Turquoise Blue 11522 brings a calm, workable colour to high-traffic teaching and learning spaces. It handles footfall without fading, muddy shoes, castor-chair wear. The colour sits at low LRV (4.92), so it hides marks in medium-lit rooms.

The sheet comes in 30cm widths and delivers strong durability across the board. Solution-dyed fibres lock colour in at the fibre core, resisting fading even in sunlight. Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology stops edge unravelling, keeping seams neat through years of daily use. A 940g/m2 pile weight gives solid body underfoot.

What it’s made of

• 80% polypropylene, 15% nylon, 5% recycled polyester
• Unique BioBase recycled backing (BS EN ISO 14021 certified)
• Solution-dyed fibres for colour fast performance
• Made using 100% certified renewable electricity

The backing is the standout here. Burmatex’s proprietary BioBase uses recycled material, cutting the carbon footprint without cutting performance. Static loading recovery sits above 80% in 24 hours. Castor chairs pass continuous-use testing. It meets Euroclass Bfl-s1 for flammability and carries an A+ VOC rating, so classrooms stay safe and air quality stays clean.

Where it works

Built for heavy contract use, Academy suits schools, colleges, universities and any education building with constant footfall. The colour holds up in corridors, classrooms, libraries and common areas. It also works in commercial offices, leisure facilities and light retail where durability matters and budget does too.

Colour fastness and care

Colour fastness to light reaches Grade 6 (BS EN ISO 105-B02), the best standard. Shampoo fastness hits Grade 4. Everyday vacuuming keeps it fresh. Professional cleaning when needed maintains the pile and colour through the 15-year warranty period.

Installation and environmental credentials

Sheet carpet installs via gluedown. Burmatex backs Academy with independent third-party environmental product declarations and LEED accreditation eligibility. The reco2very take-back service means end-of-life carpet goes for recovery, not landfill. It meets SKA standards and contributes to WELL Building Standards certification.
