If you would like a checkerboard pattern, select checker and that will activate the second tile. Click on the second tile and select a color and then Fill All.
If you want to make another pattern in your floor, simply select another color and click in the individual squares or slide your mouse.
Once you are happy with your design, click Next.
You will see the details of your flooring here, the color and quantities. You can add an overage, and the tool will automatically calculate and adjust your total.
From here you can add these items to your cart or request a quote.
There is also an option to print the information or save it for later.
If you save for later, when you come back to the designer, instead of Starting a New Room, you will select Load a Saved Job and it will open the job that you saved.
