Hadron carpet tiles were chosen as part of a refurbishment to the building, with the striking purple highlights found in the Violet colourway used as an accent to reflect the feature colour found on walls and within furniture. Inspired by the scientific imagery of particles accelerated in the Large Hadron Collider, the structured loop pile carpet tile features a multi-tonal grey base cloth interspersed with linear flashes of brilliant colour; a design made possible by Antron® Lumenaä carpet fibre.
With a cross-section that reduces the appearance of soiling, alongside a strong and tight molecular structure that stands up to wear and makes it difficult for dirt to stick, Antron Lumena carpet fibre is ideal for use in high-performance carpet tiles such as Burmatex’s Hadron. Solution dyed for permanent stain and fade resistance, providing a carpet designed to withstand heavy traffic while remaining easy to clean, Antron Lumena carpet fibre ensures that the Hadron carpet tiles chosen by architecture practice, Good & Tillotson, are suitable for the task.
Russell Woods, Partner, Good & Tillotson, comments: ‘Primarily we wanted to create the right look, but we also needed to consider the durability of the floor chosen. The general impression is excellent and definitely provided the outcome I was looking for.”
Made from 100% Antron Lumena carpet fibre, Burmatex Hadron is available in 17 colours, coordinating with other products from the manufacturer. In this instance, Hadron in Violet was teamed with Burmatex’s Tivoli carpet tile marking seating areas.
