## Description

Academy tiles in Denim Blue 11817 are heavy contract carpet tiles built for spaces that take real punishment. The colour sits at LRV 7.14, a deep, professional blue that hides dirt and scuffs whilst keeping the room feeling purposeful and calm. Schools, colleges, universities and high-footfall commercial areas are where these tiles earn their keep.

The pile is solution-dyed polypropylene and nylon with 5% recycled polyester, backing backed with Burmatex's BioBase recycled material. That backing is independently certified recycled content (BS EN ISO 14021), so you're cutting carbon before the tiles leave the factory. Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology means edges stay crisp through years of movement and relaid sections.

### What makes them work

- Bleach cleanable for rapid sanitation and stubborn stains
- 940g/m2 pile weight, rated for continuous castor chair use
- 15-year commercial warranty
- A+ VOC rating, supports WELL Building Standards and LEED accreditation
- Made with 100% certified renewable electricity

### Specifications

- Pile Weight: 940g/m2
- Backing: BioBase Recycled
- Use Classification: Heavy Contract
- TOG: 0.55
- Pack Size: 5m2 (fifty 50cm x 50cm tiles)

- Colour Fastness To Shampoo: Minimum grade 4 (BS 1006)

### Where they work

Heavy footfall settings: schools, colleges, universities, retail, offices, hospitality. The tiles perform under continuous castor chair use (BS EN 985 pass rating) and recover from dynamic loading, so breakout rooms, classrooms and open-plan spaces all suit them. Low light-reflection (LRV 7.14) makes them ideal where glare control matters.

### Installation and maintenance

Lay as 50cm x 50cm tiles on a flat, stable subfloor. The bleach-cleanable surface takes direct spray cleaning and extraction, critical for schools and healthcare settings. Static control is built in (BS ISO 6356 tested). Burmatex's reco2very take-back service offers a no-landfill end-of-life option when you're ready to replace them.
