A printable flooring plan: PDF install pack, CSV and SVG

A plan on a screen in the next room is not much use when you are kneeling on the floor with a saw. Fitters and DIYers both want the plan on paper, next to the boards.

Floor Optimizer exports the whole plan as a PDF install pack: the layout with every board numbered, the cut list, the shopping list and install notes. The data also exports as CSV and the drawing as SVG.

In short: Floor Optimizer is a flooring layout planner that exports a printable flooring plan and cut list as PDF, CSV or SVG. It lays every board in your real room and gives you the waste, the packs to buy and a board-by-board cut list.

What is Floor Optimizer?

Floor Optimizer is an online flooring layout planner for DIYers and flooring fitters. You draw your room or whole floor plan to your measurements, enter the boards you plan to buy and pick a laying pattern, and it places every board in your actual room shape. From that layout it works out the waste, the exact packs to buy and a board-by-board cut list, so the floor is planned before anything is bought or cut. It runs in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone.
