CALGARY, ALBERTA, September XX, 2018, – Renoworks Software Inc. (TSXV: RW) (“Renoworks”), and Gentek Building Products (“Gentek”) announce powerful new feature updates and enhancements to the Gentek Visualizer with advancements in user experience, high-resolution realistic imagery, and mobile readiness.
The Gentek Visualizer is an online engagement tool allowing consumers to experience Gentek’s extensive portfolio of building products (vinyl, aluminum and steel siding, and accessories) online while experimenting and visualizing the final look of their construction/remodeling project quickly and easily.
“The Gentek Visualizer helps streamline projects from concept to completion by taking the guesswork out of the exterior design,” says Christine van Egmond, Marketing Manager at Gentek. “Colour and texture are powerful elements in any home design, and the Gentek Visualizer not only shows customers first-hand the design potential of their home, it also makes it easy for contractors to offer upgrades to achieve the ideal finished look. The instant visualization accelerates the remodeling process while making it more exciting and creative as well.”
The new Gentek Visualizer also provides pre-selected design options, Palettes which make choosing products and colours styles fast and easy. In addition, Gentek Design Services will prepare images of submitted homes by consumers to provide a more simplified experience while providing the best quality designs to ensure that what they see is what they can expect.
Gentek Design Services will be offered for free at launch for Gentek customers.
