Good design begins at floor level according to burmatex and the latest updates to a duo of its most stylish ranges aim to inspire specifiers to get creative with their flooring choices by mixing both texture and colours.

Two burmatex premier products now feature collections with a contemporary palette of new colours, including metallics and subtle highlight shades as well as options for combining and mixing textures.

Origin, a luxury cut-pile product made from 100% nylon, now boasts three contemporary metallic shades which can instantly add a touch of class to an interior design scheme. The new collection also includes six accent shades which can be used as highlights to inject additional interest into a flooring scheme or to demarcate breakout areas.

The second re-launched range, Balance, offers both cut-pile and loop-pile options with an increased colour selection of 18 different shades - allowing designers and specifiers to experiment with textures and colours side-by-side for high-end flooring installations.

Both Origin and Balance are ideal for the commercial office sector where image is paramount and can be used to produce a creative, design-led flooring scheme from the reception area right through to the boardroom.
