Can Advanced match a Custom Rock Formliner pattern?

Yes. Send a sample, a drawing or a photograph, or have Advanced scan the standing profile on site. Every liner is made to order in Sparta, Wisconsin, and the profile is confirmed with you before any liner is cut.

Does Advanced make single-use and multi-use liners?

Yes. Solocast is the single-use thin brick formliner, Flex2Fit is the multi-use thin brick formliner that seals around brick that varies, and Solocast Seamless pattern liners are built so the sheet joint does not show.

Where are Advanced formliners made?

In Sparta, Wisconsin, at 300 Sherry Lynn Lane. Every liner is made to order there, and thin brick from five makers ships from the same place.
