HOW TO USE | STRIPES

Here at burmatex, stripes are synonymous with our brand. It is a traditional pattern for carpet but can be surprisingly varied and complex! Luckily for us, they are a design that never falls out of style. Whether it be bold or subtle, you can always depend on something linear to be in fashion.
A striped floor helps immeasurably with soil hiding and wearing, whilst also being stylish and classic. Mixing and matching different intensities of stripe can give your interior environment a fresh appearance. The modular nature of our tiles and planks make it easy to create larger or smaller scale stripes across the floor.
Below are our top three tips on how to utilise striped carpet tiles, along with images and case studies to inspire!
