Burmatex academy tiles Purple Orchid 11877

Burmatex Academy tiles in Purple Orchid 11877 deliver a practical mid-tone colour that works across busy educational and commercial spaces. The muted purple sits well in corridors, classrooms and common areas where you need a floor that absorbs foot traffic without showing wear marks or dirt. The solution-dyed fibres hold colour fast under natural light and resist staining from standard cleaning agents.

Because these tiles are bleach cleanable, you can tackle spills and marks without fussing over compatibility. A busy school environment, high-footfall corridor, the lot. The pile sits at 940g/m2, dense enough to handle continuous use whilst staying comfortable underfoot. Anti-fray and anti-ravel technology keeps the edges intact even when you cut and fit them on site.

Where it works

These tiles suit schools, colleges and universities where heavy footfall and frequent deep cleaning are the norm. They handle castor-chair use continuously and recover well from static and dynamic loading. Low carbon manufacturing and the recycled polyester content plus BioBase backing make them a fit for LEED-accredited schemes. Colour fast to both light and shampoo cleaning to BS standards.

Installation

Laid as 50cm x 50cm tiles. The anti-fray and anti-ravel edges allow you to cut and fit on site without worry. No special underfloor preparation needed for typical concrete or timber substrates in commercial settings.

Looking after it

Bleach cleanable, so you can use standard contract cleaning products. Colour holds under regular shampoo cleaning to minimum grade 4 fastness. Burmatex’s reco2very take-back service offers a no-landfill solution when the tiles reach end of life. The 15-year commercial warranty covers wear and staining under normal use in heavy contract environments.
