Tessera Chroma

24-colour low loop pile carpet tiles at 750 g/m² — the densest tile in the Tessera range.

Forbo Tessera Chroma carpet tiles installed

At 750 g/m², Chroma carries more face fibre than any other Tessera tile. It is a tight, low loop pile in 100% polyamide nylon, built for floors that will be walked on hard and judged on appearance for fifteen years.

Density is what buys longevity in a loop pile. More fibre packed into the same square metre means more to wear through before the backing shows, and far better resistance to the crushing that produces visible traffic lanes.

24 colourways — the joint-widest Tessera palette alongside Layout and Teviot — at 6.4mm total thickness, 62% recycled content and 26 dB sound reduction. Enough range to colour-code a whole building from a single product code.

Supply & fit

Fitting Chroma in the UK

DCTUK’s Forbo fitting service covers site survey and subfloor moisture testing, latex screeding and preparation, uplift and recycling of existing floorcoverings, and installation by employed fitting teams — out of hours and in phases where a building has to stay open. Free survey within 72 hours, fixed pricing, and a 12 month fitting warranty.

Because Chroma is a tile, damaged units can be lifted and replaced individually years into the building’s life. Keep one to two boxes per colourway from the original production batch as attic stock.
