BOSTON, May 5, 2010 - Swatchbox Technologies, the most innovative player in virtual design tools for the home, has teamed up with tile retailer Marme Canada, Inc. to provide Marme Canada customers with a unique room designing experience using Swatchbuilder.

Swatchbuilder is a new virtual room designer for companies looking to enhance their websites by providing a tool with their own products that customers can use to design rooms similar to theirs at home. Marme Canada incorporated 50 of its products to start including porcelain, marble, travertine and ceramic tiles.

Its Swatchbuilder launch parallels some of Marme Canada's own website upgrades, including a new floor calculator to help customers estimate the amount of tile necessary and the associated cost. With these tools, Marme Canada customers can really scope out the details of their tiling project from tile quantity to cost to virtualization. Customers are able to save, print and even email their projects to friends and family. In the end, this will save both the customer and Marme Canada valuable time.
