The innovative, modular multilayer ASPECTA TEN followed on from the expansive ASPECTA FIVE. These two collections will shortly be joined by the aesthetically-stunning ASPECTA ONE.


All three were created by an internationally renowned design team and feature highly engineered products. The whole portfolio is extremely durable and easy to maintain, and is consequently ideal for all built environments with high footfall – especially retail.


Samples can be despatched within 48 hours from ASPECTA’s European Head Office in the Netherlands, where full stocks are kept for all three ranges.


The Chroma team provides interior designers, architects and clients with the best and most appropriate flooring solutions, with a big focus on sector knowledge and personal service. Current customers include Selfridges, Marks & Spencer, BMW, and many more household names.


Chroma is also committed to responsible specification, supporting key environmental initiatives including BREEAM, LEED and SKA, and promoting flooring products and practices that have a positive impact on sustainable design.
