Burmatex academy tiles Horizon Blue 11819

Burmatex Academy tiles in Horizon Blue 11819 bring colour to high-traffic spaces without fuss. This is a heavy-contract carpet tile built for schools, colleges and busy commercial settings where footfall never lets up. The 50cm x 50cm format gives you flexibility, and a 5m2 pack means quick coverage and easy stock rotation.

The fibre blend of 80% polypropylene, 15% nylon and 5% recycled polyester is solution dyed, so the colour runs right through. No surface coating means no fade risk. Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology protects the edges during handling and fitting. The BioBase recycled backing is certified under BS EN ISO 14021, reducing embodied carbon before the tiles even reach your site.

Why it works in contract spaces

Bleach cleanability matters in schools and healthcare settings where hygiene protocols demand it. A 15-year commercial warranty backs the carpet against wear, staining and colour change. The heavy contract classification handles continuous castor-chair use, meeting BS EN 985. Static and dynamic loading performance keeps the pile stable under load, with over 80% recovery in 24 hours.

Horizon Blue 11819 has a low LRV of 7.61, so it reads as a darker, practical shade that hides dirt in corridors and common areas. The 940g/m2 pile weight keeps the carpet dense and quiet underfoot, a real plus in open-plan colleges.
