The Infinity range is available using 24 standard Accolade Plus base colours with the option of including up to two more colours to complement the interior décor of a range of applications and functions. Furthermore, products can be custom designed to a specified design, scope, durability, practicality, safety or hygiene, depending on user requirements.
