Commercial grade carpets are manufactured to withstand the heavy traffic of commercial environments. They’re also designed to offer easy maintenance, giving higher levels of stain resistance than regular carpets.
There are numerous types of commercial grade carpets to choose from, in different colours, patterns and textures – so you can find the perfect one for your workplace.
Types of commercial grade carpets
With a commercial carpet, the fibres are looped through the carpet backing. This makes them highly durable.
Burmatex is a leading UK designer and manufacturer of carpet tiles and planks that are used in contract and commercial settings. They manufacture innovative, eco-friendly products to suit the commercial requirements of clients such as architects and contractors.
Burmatex constantly expands its carpet range to cater to different commercial spaces. You can choose from multilevel loop, textured loop pile, loop pile, structure bonded®, fibre bonded, and cut pile carpets in sheet and tiles.
They also produce entrance matting products that are essential for any commercial premises.
The importance of entrance matting
First impressions count – and your entrance matting should offer your visitors a clean and dry floor that looks attractive.
Entrance matting can include both exterior and interior entrances and should be tough enough to handle all weather conditions. The matting should be able to collect dirt and provide an anti-slip surface.
Entrance matting works as a performance barrier system between your entrance and the rest of the office or workplace.
Outdoor matting is generally made of durable rubber than can withstand extreme weather conditions. Indoor entrance matting offers cleaning and safety for your visitors. It should be durable enough to collect the dirt missed by any outdoor matting and reduce mud and other debris from being brought further into the workplace.
Your entrance matting should suit the décor of your commercial premises and can even be printed with your logo.
Carpets for different commercial environments
If you need a hardwearing but stylish product for your office floor, Burmatex carpet tiles come in a traditional 50x50cm size as well as a contemporary carpet plank range.
Burmatex also offers a broad selection of carpet tiles and planks for use across the education sector. This includes schools, academies, colleges and universities. Their carpet tiles also provide the ideal flooring solution for student accommodation and halls of residence, including individual rooms, corridors and common areas.
Burmatex also caters to the leisure sector. This wide-ranging sector includes the challenging and diverse environments of gyms, sports arenas, theatres, tennis and snooker clubs.
The beauty of carpet tiles and carpet planks is that they create a softer, quieter setting as the carpet muffles noise. This makes them perfect for public spaces, such as libraries, council buildings and other public places.
Retail presents a heavy-traffic, high-footfall environment that requires heavy-duty flooring that’s also safe and non-slip. Burmatex’s high-performing carpet tiles and carpet sheets are ideal in a busy retail setting.
All their carpets come complete with a minimum of 10 years guarantee, even when presented with the heaviest foot traffic.
