Chameleon Power and Sikkens Unveil
Interactive "Color Your Home" Visualizer
The Online Sikkens Visualizer allows homeowners to see Sikkens products and materials applied to
their home projects.
NOVI, Michigan, April 28, 2009 – Sikkens Wood Finishes, manufactured by Akzo Nobel Paints, LLC, has announced its new Web-based tool, "Color Your Home" Visualizer. The visualizer, developed by Chameleon Power, the leader in online visualization applications and solutions for the home-building and decorating industry, allows visitors to explore what different colors, textures and styles of the Sikkens product line would look like when applied to a home image.
The Web-based visualizer is accessible from the Sikkens Web site (www.nam.sikkens.com). Select "Color Your Home" and start designing. Visitors can select from 30 different home exterior images and choose from siding, decking or garage and entry doors to start a project. Added features include Chameleon's patent-pending Web-based image upload tool, more commonly known as ImageMapper Web, which allows homeowners to upload and decorate their own home image. Once the image is uploaded, the user can decorate their project online with real Sikken products, save, print, enlarge and collaborate online.
"We see this visualizer as an essential tool for homeowners during the buying process," said Greg Portincasa, Sikkens' Customer and Technical Support Supervisor. “We are excited to offer our customers the ability to see their homes with the new project in place; it gives customers the confidence to buy, making it a valuable sales tool."
“We are very excited to work with Sikkens on this new visualizer,” said Chameleon Power CEO Dan Dempsey. “This new tool allows the customer to see their home as it will look with new product on it. They can collaborate with a decorator, family or friends before making a purchasing decision."
