Burmatex tivoli Barbados Blue 20220

Burmatex tivoli Barbados Blue 20220 carpet tiles bring a practical mid-tone blue to busy commercial spaces. The colour sits at an LRV of 6, offering decent light reflection whilst keeping the blue prominent. You get 100% recycled bio-genic solution dyed nylon throughout, which means both raw material and manufacturing process cut carbon footprint without sacrificing performance.

What it is and where it fits

These are Class 33 heavy commercial carpet tiles, built to handle offices, hospitality venues, education settings and retail floors where foot traffic runs high. The loop pile construction and 6.5mm thickness absorb footsteps and reduce fatigue underfoot. A 15-year commercial warranty backs them, so you know the investment holds up to long-term daily use.

The tiles come in two sizes: 50cm x 50cm squares or 25cm x 100cm planks. This flexibility lets you lay them in different patterns and makes partial replacement straightforward if one tile takes damage.
