burmatex - the UK’s leading innovator in carpet tile design – recently supplied a three hundred and eighty square metre carpet tile installation in the new HBOS branch in Barnsley, completed by O’Gorman and Carey from Bradford.

burmatex’s award-winning, structure bonded product - lateral® - was specified in Lavender Oil and acid accents to complete the break out areas in the branch. lateral® is part of burmatex’s patented structure bonded collection, which boasts groundbreaking manufacturing techniques. lateral®, with sister products zip and code, forms part of burmatex’s definitive product offering for all commercial interiors, schools, public buildings, residential schemes and design and build projects.

The HBOS brief, in addition to carpeting general areas and walkways, was to create a colourful focal point on the floor of staff break out areas to differentiate it from front of house. The trend for flooring to take centre stage in commercial settings is becoming more popular, and burmatex is championing this change with innovative, yet hard wearing designs.

Clive Speight, Director of Contract Sales for burmatex said: "HBOS has specified a number of our products in the past including lateral®. In general we have seen an increase in demand for more striking colours and creative floor designs and our portfolio reflects this."

Kim Nevin, senior project manager for HBOS said: "As an architect by profession I have previously worked with burmatex and I have been particularly impressed with lateral®. We have managed to create vibrant break out areas for our staff, within budget, and with a product that we know will last."

lateral® is ideal for heavy contract and is available in both carpet tile and sheet in a range of 27 colours. The yarn is made from 85 per cent polypropylene, 15 per cent nylon.
