Copy/Paste your entire project into the table then watch the magic happen! Click RUN and watch as your blind skins are optimally laid out into the multiple roll widths that you entered. The end result is a graphical and tabular output of the optimised solution, ready to pass to your cutting table operator. The application even gives you a yield efficiency for each roll width, with total Lm/Yds required and m2/ft2 of scrap produced.
The worksheet is selectable to operate in Metric or Imperial units and includes settings for table clamp allowances, skin spacings both on height and width, plus selectable common cut option.
Utilize our sophisticated algorithms to determine product costs and grid prices for a wide range of window covering types, including Curtains, Roller Blinds, Venetians, Shutters and even Window Films! The costing sheets are flexible to use with a wide range of configurable fields to meet your business requirements. Available in Metric only right now, these worksheets solve the problem of how to create fast and accurate product costs and price grids.
Use our specialized tube strength calculation tool to confidently know if a tube is strong enough to safely span a window with an extra heavy or extra light fabric attached. Accurately know Torque loads for any size roller blind for reliable motor selection, especially when using low power DC motors! Roll-up diameter and blind weight are also calculated. If you know your spring k-value, you can even calculate pre-turns for any size roller blind.
Fast and simple is how users describe our pre-built Quoting Worksheets! Whether you need to quote small or large projects, our efficient grid-based quoting sheets are the answer.
