How does it work out how much to order?

Where quantities are in scope, it gives indicative areas and quantities by room and product, with exclusions stated and packs rounded up. Cutting waste, reusable offcuts and spare stock are counted for each pattern, not as one blanket allowance. Your team checks before anything is ordered.

Can it lay out herringbone or chevron?

Patterns can be compared in a photo of the room where the product assets support it. Where layout planning is in scope, they are also set out on the real room shape, with the starting point and direction.

Can tiles run from inside to outside?

Yes. It shows a continuous look across the threshold, and products can be narrowed by area and surface requirements, such as slip resistance, for your technical team to confirm.

Does it work for apartments and commercial projects?

It can be set up for a common palette across units and shared areas, with indicative areas by unit, level and zone, and colour scheme options for buyers.

Flooring &tiles

Help customers plan floors and tiles across the whole project, from layout and pattern to quantities.

In practice: the Planner we built for a kitchen and wardrobe manufacturer lays out real products against the factory’s rules, and No.1 DesignHub changes one surface at a time. Flooring uses the same applications, configured with your range, laying patterns and waste rules. Read the case

A floor runs through the whole project

Floors and tiles run from room to room, inside to outside, and up the walls of wet areas. The decision is the layout, the pattern, the transitions and the quantities, not a single board on a single photo.

Where the decision gets stuck

Homeowners. One floor often runs through several rooms. Where it changes, and how it sits with the kitchen, the walls and the skirting, is hard to judge from a sample board.

Designers and architects. Pattern, setting out, joint colour and transitions have to be resolved across the plan, along with slip resistance in wet and outdoor areas.

Builders and developers. Selections repeat across many homes or apartments, and the areas and allowances have to be worked out for each.

Dealers. A showroom sample has to be connected to the layout, scale and combinations of the customer’s actual project.

Retailers and installers. Measurements, cutting allowances and pattern wastage decide the quote, and errors are costly to fix on site.

Your brand. Seeing a product in a photo is now expected, and a longer shortlist often means more sample requests. The harder part is helping customers plan the whole project and know how much to order.

From first look to installation

From first look to installation: inspiration, visualise, plan, pattern, measure, quantify, quote, install. Visualiser covers visualise, Planner covers plan to pattern and Quantities covers measure to quote.

A new floor usually runs through several rooms. The decisions are where it starts and stops, how it meets other floors, and how it sits with everything else in each room.

What we design for

Plan the project, not the swatch

Floors are planned across every room, with patterns and transitions resolved on the plan.

Only your real range, sizes and patterns are used.

Know how much to order

Areas, patterns and wastage are worked out with the assumptions in view.

Your team checks before anything is ordered.

Everything in the room together

Floors are chosen with the walls, the kitchen and the joinery.

Complementary products are set up for your business.
