Cut planner

Plan every cut before the film comes off the roll

Put in the windows, pick the roll, and PeelBoard lays the pieces out with straight cuts to waste as little as possible. Print the cut sheet, mark it cut, and the leftovers are saved for the next job.

Windows laid out on the roll, with film used and waste shown.

Straight cuts you can actually make

Windows are laid out with edge-to-edge cuts and a numbered list of steps. Choose which pieces can turn and which are locked for patterned film. Panes wider than the roll are split with a seam overlap.

See the waste before you cut

Each layout shows how much of the roll you use and the waste, in dollars if you track film cost. Compare roll widths side by side to see which one wastes least.

Straight from the quote

Import the windows from the quote or the job instead of typing them again, then print the cut sheet for the install.

Leftovers become stock

Mark the layout cut and the feet come off the roll in your film inventory. Offcuts big enough to keep are saved as remnants, and the next plan can cut from them first.

What you get

  • Guillotine-style layouts with step list
  • Rotation per piece
  • Seams for panes wider than the roll
  • Waste in feet and dollars
  • Compare roll widths
  • Remnants saved and reused
