Bring your dream home to life with Design Canvas™

By Emma Peterson. 

Westlake’s AI-powered tool lets homeowners explore roofing, siding, stone and trim options on a real image of their home, making design decisions easier. 

Embarking on a new building or remodeling project can be intimidating, as it’s a process that often comes with high price tags and a lot of decisions to make. To make the process a little less stressful, Westlake Royal Roofing Products has created an intuitive design tool that lets users visualize their home projects, before you have to commit and invest any money.  

This tool, Design Canvas™, is powered by an advanced AI technology that allows homeowners to explore different design options using a real photo of their home. With the platform, the possibilities are endless! You can edit:  

• Siding: See how you can boost your home’s curb appeal with a siding refresh! The platform hosts a wide variety of profiles and colors, allowing you to match the siding to any architecture style or aesthetic preference. 
• Roofing: Build the perfect balance of aesthetics and performance with the various clay, concrete, composite and stone-coated steel roofing products available to sample in Design Canvas.  
• Trim and moulding: Explore the different ways exterior trim and moulding options can enhance the look of your home. Paying attention to these small elements can go a long way in turning a house into a home! 
• Stone: See how adhered stone and brick profiles can add texture and dimension to any project.  

Getting started in the platform is simple. First, decide what Design Canvas offering fits your needs best:  

1. Templated: Don’t have a good photo of your home? No worries! Design Canvas has a variety of existing templates to work with. This allows you to choose a project similar to yours and experiment with design options on it!  
2. Upload: Got a photo of your home? Upload it and the AI technology within Design Canvas will have it ready for you to edit and experiment within minutes!  
3. Phone a professional: Don't even know where to start? Upload a photo of your home and have the Westlake professionals prepare the project for you! They will create different options that show you all the design possibilities for your project.  

Once you’ve created something that feels like your dream home, Design Canvas gives you the option to download a PDF of it. Not only does this document save the design you’ve created, it also highlights the products you chose to create that look so you can work with a contractor to make the dream a reality.
