Dalton, GA, April 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taylor Adhesives, a manufacturer of innovative adhesive solutions for the flooring industry, has announced a new suite of digital tools for Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a result of its partnership with BIMsmith, the leading product research platform for building professionals.

The new Taylor digital tools include a full library of downloadable BIM files with which architects, contractors and other building professionals can include Taylor product data in their digital building plans. As a result of the partnership, building professionals can also design custom BIM flooring assemblies with Taylor products using the free BIMsmith Forge® configurator, allowing for rapid design with BIM data from multiple brands.

In addition to making 3D modeling easier for the architectural community, BIM tools make it possible for building professionals to execute complex performance and sustainability analysis, setting the stage for more informed decisions throughout the design process.
