Wilsonart Enhances Technology Offerings to Ease Designer Experience


Working with Wilsonart products is even easier with new digital tools that bring Wilsonart® Laminate, Quartz, Solid Surface and other engineered surfaces to a designer's desktop, tablet or phone.

"Wilsonart is driven to provide premier customer service," said Mark Kieckhafer, Sales Director, Specifications at Wilsonart. "As such, we're excited about the enhancements and additions we've made to our technology resources all focused on making it easier to specify Wilsonart surfaces. Our new offerings can help professionals visualize their designs in real-time, saving costs, eliminating challenges and valuable time down the road."

Wilsonart's technology resources for professionals can be found online and on mobile devices through a toolkit that includes downloadable spec guides and Builder Information Modeling (BIM) files, a specification wizard, a state-of-the-art commercial spaces visualizer and the new Wilsonart Design App, that provides easy access to samples and information.

Wilsonart VISUALIZER
The Visualizer, launched earlier this year for residential spaces, offers an expanded selection of commercial spaces - 23 in all - that can be configured with Wilsonart® Laminate, Quartz and Solid Surface designs, then saved, printed or shared with clients and co-workers. The visualizer makes it easier for clients to see how a design will look in a space, and includes new hospitality, healthcare, retail, education and office spaces. The redesigned web-based interface allows users to select one of the industry segments then scroll between available spaces while on their computer or mobile device without the need of additional software. Other improvements include, new help screens, larger text, where to buy and improved tool tips on tool bar icons to match industry tool tips.

The Wilsonart TOOLKIT offers a variety of digital tools that makespecification of Wilsonart products easy:



MASTER SPEC
Wilsonart product data and customized specifications are available through ARCOM's software platform to architects, engineers and design professionals. Customized versions of industry-trusted MasterSpec® sections are accessible through the online toolkit to accurately specify Wilsonart product, including access to Wilsonart's product catalog and data sheets.

BUILDER INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) FILES
Wilsonart provides a complete set of BIM files (specifications, images, etc.) for Laminate, Solid Surface, Quartz and Metals, as well as details for Wilsonart's Decorative Edges and Solid Surface Sinks. Data rich AutoDesk® Revit® BIM objects are available at no charge. With ARCAT, appropriate product data has been added to each object saving architects and engineers valuable time.

Wilsonart DESIGN APP (available on iTunes and Google (News - Alert) Play stores)
Wilsonart has digitized the wallboard, providing mobile access to samples and information 24/7.

QR codes on the back of samples also provide quick access to pattern availability, specification information, larger swatches and more.
