Can Advanced Formliners match a pattern from another formliner company?

Yes. Bring a sample, a drawing, a spec sheet, or the name of the pattern you already know, and Advanced builds a liner to match it. Every liner is made to order in Sparta, Wisconsin, so the relief, draft, and repeat are set for the job.

Can Advanced replicate a pattern that already exists on a building?

Yes. Advanced brings scanning equipment to the site, captures the pattern, texture, and depth of the standing profile, and builds the liner from the scan. That is how additions, phase-two work, and repairs match the original.

Are Advanced formliners made to order?

Yes. Every liner, stock pattern or custom, is built for the job in Sparta, Wisconsin. Stock patterns can be retooled deeper, sharper, or to a different repeat, and accessories for corners, returns, and arches are made to the same drawing so the bed sets up faster.

How do the accessories reduce labor in the casting bed?

Corner, return, arch, and banding accessories are built to the liner so they drop into place with no cutting on the bed. That shortens setup and leaves cleaner edges on the finished panel.
