Does the person I share with need an account?

No. A share link opens in any browser without signing up.

Can they edit my plan?

No. Share links are read only, so only you can change the plan.

Can I use it to show a client a quote?

Yes. Fitters use share links to show the planned layout and pattern alongside a quote, which helps clients approve the job.

Are share links free?

Share links are part of the full plan: a one-time unlock for the room or a Pro subscription.

Share your flooring plan with a fitter, client or partner

Usually more than one person has a say in a floor: a partner who has opinions about direction, a fitter who wants to see what you have planned, or a client who needs to approve a pattern before you order.

Floor Optimizer can make a share link for a saved plan. The other person opens it in a browser and sees the layout, the floor area, the boards used, the waste and the number of cut pieces, without signing up or installing anything. Your cut list stays private.

Start a plan to share

Free to try. No account needed to start.

In short: Floor Optimizer is a flooring layout planner that shares a flooring plan with a fitter, client or partner through a link. 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.

What it is: A browser-based flooring layout planner, cut list generator and pack calculator in one.
Who it is for: Homeowners laying their own floor, and flooring fitters quoting and planning jobs.
Materials: Laminate, vinyl plank (LVT), engineered and solid wood, and other boards or tiles laid in rows or patterns.
Rooms: Any shape: rectangles, L-shapes, angled walls, bays, curves and obstacles, typed to the millimetre or 1/16 inch. A whole floor plan can be split into rooms by walls, joined by doorways.
Patterns: Straight lay, running bond, random stagger, strip plank, herringbone, chevron, basketweave and windmill.
What you get: The full layout, waste percentage, exact pack count and cost, a board-by-board cut list, and a printable PDF install pack (the full plan comes with an unlock or Pro).
Price: Free to try without an account, with the layout preview and a sample of the cut list. A one-time payment unlocks the full plan for a room; Floor Optimizer Pro is a monthly subscription for every room.
