BELGARD
Belgard Hardscapes has launched the Belgard mobile app, putting outdoor living, patio, walls and driveway products and design information conveniently at the fingertips of anyone working on hardscape projects. The Belgard mobile app is the perfect complement to the traditional printed pieces and business tools they already offers authorized contractors and dealers. With a mobile device in hand, contractors now can quickly and easily show their customers visuals of products available in their specific region, explore color swatches for design discussions, and share information critical in purchasing decisions such as warranty details or maintenance tips. Consumers can use the tool on their own to explore different outdoor living and décor options, from fireplaces and outdoor kitchens to garden walls and sweeping driveways. They also can use the Locator tool to find the design center or contractor nearest them. More than a dozen videos featured in the app offer tools and resources for contractors and consumers.
