Do you need a faster, more reliable way to estimate how much tile, laminate, and carpet you need?

Although everyone knows Area = Length * Width, this formula does not help much when determining round or irregular shaped areas.  In the past, many flooring contractors either relied on complex Trig functions or used a set of multipliers to round off the area.  The drawbacks to these two processes were long calculations and decreased accuracy (respectively).  Even if the contractor knew the area of an irregular shaped room, it would still become difficult to accurately estimate needed material, especially in the case of tile.  Irregular area shapes generally equate to using more tiles.  A rectangular room of 500 sq. ft. may only need 500 single sq. ft. tiles.  However, a 500 sq. ft. irregular shaped room or an area that has tiles rotated 45 degrees, may easy take 550 to 600 single sq. ft. tiles.

On-Screen Takeoff cleverly addresses these issues by not only calculating takeoffs in a fraction of the time, but does it with greater precision than ever before.  With a few clicks of the mouse, anyone can quickly draw an area on the screen and be given the square footage, linear footage, and tile count.  What makes this application even better, is the ability to display the tile grid. This grid capability allows you to rotate and position the tiles plus account for grout width while accurately displaying the exact number of tiles within an area.

Whether you’re laying carpet, vinyl, VCT, or marble, On-Screen Takeoff calculates what you need quickly, efficiently, and accurately.
