The app for virtually laying your dream floor in your home – for builders, retailers and craftsmen. Welcome to the tilo Floor Layer app – the top tool for virtually laying your dream floor. The tilo flooring app turns ONE floor into YOUR floor. There is one main challenge when choosing the right floor: It is very difficult to imagine the effect of a floor surface or installation direction on a construction site or in an already furnished room. Does the floor match the furniture? Should it be better to choose a light or dark floor colour? Which laying direction makes the room look best? The Floor Layer app provides the answer to all these questions: in just three steps you can achieve your perfect, virtual installation result. This means builders can be confident in their purchasing decision. Step 1. Select room image Either upload a photo or create a picture of your living space directly in the app! Step 2: Choose floor Lay different floors and try out what you like. You can choose between parquet, HDF vinyl, SPC vinyl, dryback vinyl, cork and veneer floors. In a matter of seconds you can see the difference between light or dark floors, between long planks or rectangular tiles. With the quick selection you get an initial result immediately, you can browse the entire range in detail until you find your dream floor. Once you have a floor you like, move on to step three. Step 3: Bookmark floor Bookmark your configuration under “My Floors”. From here you can lay and bookmark additional floors or move on to the next step. My floors: Order samples for free, inquire about dealers or share floors You have bookmarked your favourites safely under “My Floors”. Here you now have the opportunity to share the configurations you have created, order free samples directly or send an inquiry to a tilo dealer near you.
