Step 2. Selecting of collection and pattern.
When technical parameters of the floor will be specified You can go to pattern selecting. We know how important the design of the floor panels is, that is why we prepared three online tools, which will allow for close looking at diffrent floor models and see whichone will be fitted the best to Your interior. Only tablet, computer or smartphone is needed.
- Classen Cloud – is the base of every floor panel from our offer. After click on the selected collection and pattern, access to its full specification is obtained.

We put floors photography in them, which are made in diffrent angles, in natural light, which includes bigger surface or shows the close-up. The last one give 3D impression – on them it can be seen very well the structure of planks, it means every embossing and bulge, which appears on their surface. We also added photo shots which present floor which is finished by strips – in colour of panels or in white colour.

The view of all collection can be changed by clicking on M or L setting, it dapends on that, what tiles composition is more convenient to look for You. The floors photos are available in 2D vesion (the plan view) or 3D (croping in angle, which are exposed the planks structure.

Step 3. Checking how many panels are needed.
When the panels selecting is behind, You can go to measuring of floor surface. You should specify very accurately its width and length by considering every recess, roundness and atipical walls setting. You can use traditional measure or smartphone – for that purpose any measuring app may be downloaded and you should follow the instructions. After a few click You will obtain information about installation. If you want to make calculations by Yourself, the plan of the floor can be helpful, on which the length of all walls can be writen to minimize the risk of mistake. The other option is using one of construction calculator, which are available online.
During estimating how many squere metres of panels are needed, t should be remembered about adding the surplus, which amounts 10% of room surface. During installation planks are trrimed, that is why You have to take care of their supplies. It will be useful also when over the years replacement of single panels will become necessary. In that way You will avoid necessity of the entire floor renovation if it will be turned out, that model which you have is not commercially available.
Please pay attention on fact, that floor panels are mostly ordered for parcels and that how many planks are in parcel depends on producer (that amount is not standardised). You for sure wil find that information on every product in online store. Some of them have calculators, which – after specifing of floor measurements – hint how many parcels of product should be bought. If the store does not offer that solution, than You have to make calcultions by Yourself. Fortunately it is not advanced maths 🙂
