Belgard Rooms: The Tool to Dream

Augment Reality for Outdoor Design
Belgard’s Augmented Reality (AR) feature lets you preview templated outdoor Rooms in your own backyard

The Belgard Rooms tool creates efficiencies two-fold. First, it offers clients the ability to dream, with more than 100 different designs for outdoor spaces, so you don’t have to spend time sketching or drawing your own. Second, getting this in front of your client sooner rather than later can help you close deals faster. And, with the Belgard Rooms augmented reality feature, you can actually project the designs into the client’s outdoor space with the help of a tablet or smartphone. That’s a game-changer!

Belgard Design Studio: The Tool to Create

Belgard Design Studio can adjust product selections and room features to create a space that fits each customer’s specific needs. The finished design will also include a materials list for each room, which also simplifies ordering and estimating. Belgard Authorized Contractors report that using Belgard Design Studio can help increase closure rates, enhance communication, and improve customer satisfaction.
