The Jouplast mobile application is evolving: an essential tool for designing your terrace

JOUPLAST® ^, a major player in the decking pedestal market, has developed a free mobile application for designing decks made of slabs, wood, or composite materials. It is the only configurator to provide a complete list of materials (slabs, wood or composite decking boards, joists, screws, etc.) and JOUPLAST® products ⁽ pedestals, slab support plates, side cladding brackets, etc.) necessary for this type of project. A true project aid, the JOUPLAST® mobile application ^has been very well received by individuals, professionals, and retailers alike. To provide even more services to its customers and distribution partners, the JOUPLAST® application ^is being further developed.

Now available in 4 languages ​​(French, Spanish, English and German), the application features, under its new design, a shopping list illustrated with photos of JOUPLAST ^{® products. It also includes new tile sizes, 17 in total, new accessories (insulation mat, gripping insulation square) and essential elements for a flawless and durable finish: the 100% invisible fixing system for Fixego ®} wood decking boards and side cladding support.

In addition, a code appears at the start of the configuration to automatically find the project saved on the application. This allows you to view it later or share it. Finally, it is always possible to download your project in PDF but also in CSV format, in order to modify it in Excel to integrate additional information or sort data.

^{The JOUPLAST ®} application provides greater autonomy to individuals, simplifying the estimation of products needed to build their terraces, and facilitates the preparatory phase of the construction site for professionals and points of sale.

A multitude of functions

^{Portable and accessible everywhere, the free JOUPLAST ®} application offers a multitude of functions to help choose the shape, size and location of the terrace in relation to the house, the materials (slabs, wood or composite planks), configure a slope, integrate elements (planters, swimming pools…), define the type and direction of installation, save the project…

Accessories are also integrated into the application:

• Insulation mats, to be placed under JOUPLAST pedestals^®, to reduce vibrations or impact noise, and compensate for differences in thickness.
• Gripping insulation squares, to be positioned on JOUPLAST slab plates^® installed on the periphery pads, to attenuate possible resonances and improve the grip of the slab.
• The 100% invisible fixing system for FixeGo JOUPLAST wooden decking boards which ensures an impeccable and durable finish. Made up of hand-breakable fixings and cleats (for the start and end of the terrace), the FixeGo kit^® allows you to create a regular space between the slats, without the intervention of traditional screws, thus allowing air to circulate between the slats and the joists. It limits the stagnation of water at the fixing points, which has the effect of increasing the durability of the wooden slats.
• The side cladding support which ensures the finishing of a terrace (slabs or wood) on pedestals and 100% invisible fixing of the plinth thanks to an innovative glue trap system. Positioned on the base of the pedestal and associated with the JOUPLAST slab plate

Stages of the terrace project

The configuration of the terrace project goes through several stages:

• Definition of the type of soil – flat and regular or not flat and/or irregular,
• Basic shape – square, rectangular, L-shaped, semi-circle… with the possibility of adding several terrace spaces of different shapes, slope and height, presence of a swimming pool… The user can also integrate a house, for a rendering even more realistic.
• Choice of covering – slabs, strips, composite strips – dimensions and type of installation.

The advantage of the JOUPLAST® application ^also lies in the fact that, for a slab patio, the user can define the layout point by clicking on the diagram. They can also move it to minimize slab cuts. Furthermore, the calculator adapts the drawing and shopping list in real time. And, to prevent any errors, the layout point, in the new version of the application, cannot be placed outside the plan.

After guiding the user through defining their project, the free JOUPLAST® app ^for iOS smartphones, tablets, or PCs provides a complete shopping list of materials needed for its completion, a 2D drawing, a 3D drawing, and an installation diagram. The new version is updated automatically (if the option is enabled) or must be reinstalled.

^{With the JOUPLAST®} application , users have a powerful sales support tool at their fingertips. It simplifies estimating the products needed to build a terrace and facilitates the final decision-making process.
