Osaka Solution Dyed Office Carpet Tiles

Made in the UK by Burmatex

Osaka is a range of carpet tiles designed for the rigours of use within busy offices. A beautiful random pattern is created through the combining different coloured solution dyed yarns and varying height pile within the same carpet tile. Osaka is composed of 100% solution dyed Nylon (Polyamide) and has a very generous 795g/m2 pile weight further improves its wear performance over other lighter nylon products.

A range of 12 shades are available.

Why Nylon and why Solution Dyed?

Commercial carpeting yarn is typically made from either Polypropylene or Polyamide (Nylon). Polypropylene is typically only offered at the low budget/entry level end.  When it comes to durability, they’re both really tough, in some respects polypropylene is tougher, but polyamide (Nylon) retains its form much better, so, in high foot traffic areas such as corridors, reception areas and main aisles within the office, and also beneath desk chairs where castors are constantly rolling back and forth over the carpet, nylon yarn will usually regain its form better than polypropylene (polypropylene tends to flatten and not recover).

As for solution dying, this is the most colour fast method of giving colour to the carpet. With this procedure, the individual fibers are dyed before they are made into a yarn, rather than the the finished yarn being dyed at a later time.  So, a solution dyed yarn is coloured all the way through whereas, for example, a batched dyed yarn only contains the colour on the surface. What does this mean in practical terms?  Well, it is simply that fading from UV light is less likely, and cleaning the carpet tile is less likely to cause colour loss or change.
