subject: The modern way to select a flooring pattern [print this page] The guesswork is gone from commercial flooring pattern selection. Whether you want custom colour, a designer pattern, or a range of looks for a range of areas, technology has done what some flooring designers once despaired of ever happening at all- It's made designs directly accessible to the buyers. This allows a huge range of great selections for buyers, particularly custom design buyers.
Selection concepts
The new selection concepts are a commercial buyer's dream. Carpet selection for commercial buyers used to be a laborious process of shuffling carpet samples, writing recommendations and undergoing the equally tortuous procedure of installation hoping they'd made the right choice. This was never an efficient process, and the administration alone was expensive and time consuming.
That's changed, forever. A selection can now be made using up to the minute technology. You can visualise the flooring, decide whether you like the patterns and colours, maintain full quality control and produce a complete purchase report off specifications, with all costs factored in. The guesswork has definitely gone, and the new methods ensure efficient processes for clients.
Working with selections
If the selection process is drastically improved, working with your selections is not only fun but rewarding. The big range of new styles and concepts in carpets and floor coverings has to be seen to be believed. The drab, unimaginative old carpet patterns are long gone, and you can really go to work with your interior design ideas. You can try dozens of different styles and design concepts, which does a lot for accurate visualisation of your interior schemes.
This is a huge plus for architects, who can now provide legitimate options for their clients. Commercial flooring designs have been "let off the leash" by the new design technology, and the improvement in quality and range is quite astonishing.
Trying out design ideas
Your design ideas can now be applied fully to a flooring concept. There are real choices and real options. Your design can be put into context using software, and you can work with a range of custom carpets, modular carpet tiles, sustainable carpets and custom colourisation. You have an entire spectrum of colour and design choices to work with.
If you're still at the "sketch" stage with your design ideas, this software also operates as a good editor of working concepts, keeping ideas on track. This method allows you a lot of flexibility in terms of working from the ground up with designs. The visualisation produces interesting combinations of colours, patterns, and even includes some good options for types of installation, particularly in the case of modular carpet tiles.
Getting advice when you need it
The design job has got a lot easier, but it's still a potentially complex series of issues, particularly in large commercial spaces working with high quality professional designs. If you need help, you'll find expert professional assistance can help you save time, save money, and get what you want.
