Online floor planning

Anyone who is not certain how their choices of colours and materials for floorings will work when they're all put together in the new room should definitely take advantage of a flooring planner in order to find out exactly how it will look before the expensive purchases are made! Mistakes in layout of the parquet and tiles or colour choice of carpet are much easier to fix at the design level than in the actual house! Other things such as underfloor heating and height differences between rooms also need to be taken into account and the calculations adjusted, all of which is easily done in a floor planner. Even if the result is perfect first time and all you have to do is admire it on the screen, then it was worth it to *know* it's right before you start buying materials!

Which flooring planner should you choose

Usually, the main question when it comes to which flooring planner to use is, which manufacturer's products do you want to have on your floors? However, to get an idea of what you want, it is often sufficient to see the different examples. That way, wrong choices of patterns and/or colours can be spotted before they are bought and corrections made to the purchases. You can test the various flooring planners available and decide for yourself which one to use.

Which is the right flooring planner for me

Which is the right floor planner for you depends on what you want to achieve and how you want to use the planner to achieve it. If all you need is something to show you how the wood colour of your proposed floor will fit into your living room, you won't need much more than a colour planner for parquet or laminate. However, if your plan includes floors throughout the house in a variety of materials, styles and colours, you'll need a much more complex flooring planner in order to pull all the information together. There is a wide variety of planners available, for tile, hardwood, laminate, PVC and carpeting.
