Sample Boards To Help House Builders & Home Buyers

BY : Russell Fairweather

If you’re a house builder or home construction company, you already know that the customer journey doesn’t end with choosing the plot. 
It’s what comes next—the interiors—that can often make or break the buyer’s excitement.


Kitchen finishes, bathroom tiles, wardrobe doors, and worktops: these choices can feel overwhelming, especially when buyers are faced with small swatches, pixelated images, or—worse—no samples at all.

That’s where bespoke tile sample boards come into their own.

At The Sample Board Co we work with UK home builders to create custom sample display boards that make the entire selection process easier, faster and far more engaging—for both your buyers and your sales team.

Why Sample Boards Matter in the House building Process

 

New build buyers don’t want to imagine what “gloss cashmere” looks like on a wardrobe panel or whether “white sparkle quartz” will clash with their tile choice—they want to see it, touch it, and compare it side by side with other finish options.

This is exactly what sample boards are designed for. A professionally presented, branded board featuring your fixtures, fittings and finishes removes the guesswork and gives buyers the confidence to make decisions on the spot.

They also make your sales suites look more premium and organised—no more scrabbling around for swatches or hauling around mismatched tile samples.

 

 

How Sample Boards Streamline the Sales Process

 

From reservation to personalisation, the selections stage of the sales cycle is where tile sample boards really shine.

Here’s how they help:

 

Clear, Side-by-Side Comparisons

Group tile options next to matching worktops, splashbacks, and cabinet finishes. Buyers can compare textures, tones and finishes all on one tidy board—without flicking between samples or digital catalogues.

 

Save Time, Reduce Stress

With everything laid out clearly, your sales team can guide buyers through choices more efficiently. It’s easier to narrow down options, upsell premium finishes, or suggest matching items—leading to faster decisions and fewer delays.

 

Lift the Customer Experience

Choosing interiors should feel exciting—not stressful. A branded sample board adds a sense of professionalism and polish to your presentation. It shows buyers that you’ve thought about the details, and it builds trust in your brand.

 

Portable & Practical

Need to take your selections process on the road? Our boards are lightweight, durable and easy to handle—perfect for appointments on-site or off-plan meetings.
We also offer display units for your sales centre, or boards with handles for easy carrying.
