The Best Carpets To Install In The School Holidays

The recent start of the school holidays will have brought relief to many people. Teachers will have been delighted to pack up for six weeks of leisure and unwinding from a stressful year, while pupils will have been excited by their holidays as well.

However, for some, this time of year is not all about long breaks, but a window of opportunity. With school out until September, now is the time to carry out important maintenance work.

A Chance To Fit New Flooring

While some of that will involve painting and replacing furniture, the floors might be in need of attention too, as a combination of heavy footfall will have gradually worn them down and there may be damage in places from heavy things or corrosive substances being dropped on them, as well as acts of vandalism.

Different flooring will be needed in various parts of a school, of course. You wouldn’t lay a carpet in the entrance hall where muddy feet have just walked in, or the science labs where spillages from various substances will be the most common. However, you can put them in classrooms and also areas like the library, staff areas and some corridors.

Although many of these will not be the areas with the very highest footfall, there are some obvious requirements you need from a school carpet, with resilience, long life, acoustic resistance and colours that fit the general décor, ranging from the essential to the highly desirable.

Why Burmatex Is Great For School Carpeting

Among the products we have in stock, Burmatex carpet tiles are particularly well-suited to academic settings, not just in schools but in sixth-form and Further Education colleges and higher education settings too.

Burmatex Academy tiles, as the name suggests, are made with such settings in mind. Not only are these resilient and reliable, but they come in a wide range of colours, enabling you to match them to the livery of the school badge, uniforms or general décor.

Among the extensive range of colours are dark blue shades like Midnight Sky and Sapphire Blue, or paler blues such as Academy Atlantis Blue and Turquoise Blue.

If you want green, you can choose a light shade like Lime Green or darker Emerald Green, while other stand-out colours include Saffron Yellow, Tangerine Orange and Lilac Iris. Alternatively, there are various greys and browns for rooms where the colour scheme is more muted.

Because these carpets come in tiles, it is easier to maintain the floor. That is because you can buy some extra tiles, and keep them in storage, ready for any occasion when a particular tile is damaged and needs to be replaced.

More Burmatex Options

The Academy tiles are not the only Burmatex products that might provide a great solution to your school’s carpeting needs. Another option is the Burmatex Alaska, which has more distinctly patterned tiles than the Academy range, but also plenty of colours.

Among these are the Wildflower, which has a deep crimson base, Alpine, with a hint of greyish-green, and blue options such as Rapids and Lagoon. Each of these has an interwoven pattern with hints of darker and lighter shades, providing a striking combination.

For a plain but simple style of carpet tiles, the Burmatex Eco-Cordiale could be just the thing, especially as you can purchase these in an eclectic combination of different tiles in various colours, making it ideal for a setting like a primary school, where bright tones will make the location an attractive setting.

Among the colours to choose from are Lime and Emerald if you want green, Paprika and Crimson if you are looking for red, Saffron Yellow, Tangerine and several blue options, such as Sky, Aqua and Atlantis.

Carpet Plank Options And Eco-Friendliness

Burmatex don’t just produce carpets in square tile form. You can also get them in planks, which enables you to create attractive mosaics of different colours. If this is what you want, the Burmatex Lateral may be the ideal product, with a textured pattern appearance and plenty of colours, including shades of green, orange, red, blue, purple and grey.

Apart from all the different products, which means you have lots of styles and designs to choose from, you can enjoy the reliability of a brand that is very tough, with carpets built to last and designed for the heavy demands of having lots of footfall each day.  

In addition, these products are all made from recycled (and recyclable) materials, which means your school is investing in the future of your students in more ways than one, by helping protect the environment they will be living in after the rest of us have passed on.

Install Burmatex now, and your school will be wonderfully well-equipped with reliable, attractive carpets when classes resume in September.
