Swatchbox  announced the public unveiling of Swatchbox Pro, a brand-new AEC platform for researching and requesting samples of building products.

Founded and operated by architects, Swatchbox Pro provides a key destination for building professionals to discover and request samples from leading building product manufacturers around the world. Architects, interior designers, contractors, and other professionals are able to browse samples from top manufacturers, organize them into custom palettes and collections, and request them to be delivered in a Swatchbox with free next-day and second-day delivery.

Included in the launch of the new platform are product samples from the most notable brands in building materials, such as Armstrong Ceiling and Wall Solutions, AZEK Building Products, BEHR Paint, Boral, Durat, Focal Point Lights, and PPG Paints.

“As architects, we fully understand the immense impact that fast, accurate delivery of samples has on projects,” said Swatchbox CEO Benjamin Glunz. “We’re thrilled for Swatchbox to bridge the gap between product manufacturers and AEC professionals to make sure every project deadline is met, no matter what.”

“One of our goals at Behr is to offer products and services that ease the design process for professionals, from palette inspiration to materials access” said Jodi Allen, Chief Marketing Officer at Behr Paint Company. “We’re excited for what Swatchbox Pro brings to the industry and are eager to be part of it.”

“I can’t begin to express the longstanding need for something like Swatchbox in our firm,” said Jim Balding, architect and president at The ANT Group. “From collaborating on samples to eliminating unused or undesirable samples piled up in our library to getting one box with all the samples I need, Swatchbox is elegant, thoughtful, and simple.”

Swatchbox is 100% free for verified building professionals.
