Flooring with Pizzazz

Lateral brings the fun back into commercial flooring. Vibrant colours with personality-packed names that encourage creativity, spark conversation, and prove offices don't have to be boring

Burmatex Lateral represents commercial flooring with attitude. This collection doesn't whisper sophistication—it announces personality. With colour names like Mandarin Duck, Purple Emperor, Indigo Snake, Pink Diamond, and Scarlet Runner, Lateral makes clear its intention: transforming workspaces from functional infrastructure into environments that spark joy, encourage creativity, and reflect the energy of the people using them.

The 18-colour palette spans vibrant jewel tones (Emerald Coast, Turquoise Mountain), playful pastels (Lavender Oil), energetic brights (Lime Street, Gold Quest), and grounding neutrals (Concrete Jungle, Blue Monday). These aren't arbitrary colour codes—each name tells a micro-story, creating conversational hooks and design narratives. For London's creative industries—design studios, tech startups, marketing agencies, co-working spaces—Lateral provides flooring that matches the energy and personality of innovative, forward-thinking businesses. At £127.99 per box, you're investing in environmental character, not just square metres of coverage.

Unleash Your Inner Creative Genius

Names Matter

Choosing "Mandarin Duck" instead of "Orange 1839" creates conversational moments. "We installed Pink Diamond in the collaboration zone" sounds intentional and fun. "We used colour 1886" sounds generic. The playful naming convention transforms flooring specifications into design storytelling—giving stakeholders vocabulary to discuss and appreciate their workspace personality.

Colour Psychology

Vibrant colours aren't just aesthetic choices—they affect mood, energy, and creativity. Gold Quest and Lime Street energize brainstorming areas; Lavender Oil and Blue Monday provide calming focus zones; Scarlet Runner and Mandarin Duck inject playful energy into collaboration spaces. Lateral gives you psychological tools disguised as flooring choices.

Authenticity

Generic grey tiles communicate "we're a serious business". Lateral colours communicate "we're a creative business that values personality, authenticity, and having fun while doing great work". For companies recruiting creative talent, workspace personality signals company culture. Lateral helps your space authentically represent who you are, not who you think you should be.

Frequently Asked Questions

No—they're intentional design language creating conversational opportunities. When stakeholders discuss flooring using names like "Mandarin Duck" or "Purple Emperor" rather than colour codes, design decisions feel more intentional and creative. The names provide vocabulary for discussing workspace personality beyond purely functional specifications. This matters particularly when recruiting creative talent—"we installed Gold Quest and Pink Diamond" signals company values more effectively than "we chose yellow and pink tiles". The playful naming isn't superficial; it's fundamental to Lateral's design philosophy.

"Professional" doesn't require boring. The creative industries have moved past corporate grey aesthetics—vibrant workspaces signal innovation, creativity, and authentic culture. Lateral won't date because bold colour choices reflect timeless personality rather than trendy styling. Think about iconic creative businesses—Pixar, Google, Innocent Drinks—their vibrant spaces didn't date because they authentically represented company values. If your business culture genuinely values creativity and personality, Lateral will remain appropriate indefinitely. If you're choosing vibrant colours because they're "trendy", then yes, reconsider.

Strategic placement and balance. Use vibrant Lateral colours (Scarlet Runner, Lime Street) in collaboration zones and creative areas where energy is beneficial. Ground these with neutral options (Concrete Jungle, Blue Monday) in focused work areas. The sophistication comes from intentional colour psychology and spatial planning, not from choosing all neutrals. We provide free design consultations to help plan multi-colour installations that feel vibrant yet professional—playful without being juvenile. The difference is thoughtfulness: random bright colours = playroom; strategic colour psychology = sophisticated creativity.

Depends on what you value. Tivoli (£95.99) provides creative energy through multicolour fleck patterns—it's visually interesting through colour variation within each tile. Lateral (£127.99) provides personality through vibrant solid colours and playful names—it's interesting through bold colour statements and cultural storytelling. The £32 difference (25% premium) buys you conversational design narrative and bolder aesthetic statements. For businesses where workspace personality genuinely matters—recruitment tool, company culture signal, creative inspiration—Lateral justifies the premium. If you just want visual interest at minimum cost, Tivoli works perfectly well.

Absolutely—this is when Lateral really shines. Use Gold Quest for brainstorming zones, Lavender Oil for focus areas, Emerald Coast for collaboration spaces, and Concrete Jungle for circulation. The 18-colour palette supports comprehensive spatial programming through colour psychology. However, this requires planning—randomly mixing vibrant colours creates chaos. We recommend starting with 3-4 colours maximum for most projects, using colour shifts to define functional zones. Free design consultation helps plan strategic multi-colour installations that feel cohesive despite colour diversity.

Creative agencies, design studios, tech startups, marketing firms, media companies, gaming businesses, fashion brands—essentially any London business whose culture prioritizes creativity, personality, and authentic expression over corporate conformity. Lateral particularly appeals to companies recruiting creative talent where workspace personality directly influences hiring success. If your company values "thinking different", operating authentically, and creating inspiring environments, Lateral aligns perfectly. If your business prioritizes traditional professionalism and conservative aesthetics, Lateral probably isn't appropriate—and that's fine. Know thyself, then choose flooring accordingly.
