Real-World Use Cases
Digital Measuring for Carpenters & Joiners in Practice
Whether it’s a kitchen worktop, built-in furniture, wall cladding or a custom-made component, accurate on-site measurements are essential for made-to-measure projects.
The following real-world use cases show how carpenters and joiners use Solaflex to digitally capture complex contours and prepare accurate measurement data for planning and production.
Kitchen Worktops & Splashbacks

Accuracy is particularly important when measuring kitchens. Worktops and kitchen splashbacks are often made from materials that are difficult or impossible to adjust on site, such as stone or ceramic worktops and ceramic or glass splashbacks. With the digital tape measure, worktops and kitchen splashbacks can be measured with millimetre precision.
Cut-outs for sinks and hobs can be added directly in the Solaflex measuring app. Templates are also available for frequently required elements such as electrical sockets.
This makes it quick and easy to create an accurate digital measurement – without the time-consuming process of creating physical templates.
Kitchen Backsplash and Countertop with Cut-Outs
Digitally measure a kitchen countertop and backsplash, including cut-outs for power outlets, the cooktop, and the sink—accurately, efficiently, and without templates.
Precisely Measure a Window Sill
Digitally measure a window sill with millimeter precision, including angled edges and corners—for perfectly fitting prefabrication and fast installation without on-site rework.
Digitally Measure a Built-In Wardrobe
Digitally measure a built-in wardrobe with millimeter precision. Width, depth, and all relevant dimensions are captured accurately for perfectly fitting fabrication and installation without on-site rework.
Fewer Errors – Less Rework
Digital Measuring Saves Time and Costs
With custom-made furniture and built-in elements, precise measurements determine whether everything will fit perfectly during installation. Walls that are out of square, angles, niches, cut-outs and existing building elements can quickly make conventional measuring time-consuming and complicated.
Capture complex contours digitally
Transfer measurements directly from the measuring device into a proportionally scaled digital drawing.
Measure angles and slopes accurately
Add cut-outs and allow for installation tolerances
Add photos, hand-drawn sketches and notes
Prepare data for CAD and CNC processing
Solaflex Measuring Sets for Carpenters & Joiners
The right equipment for your digital measuring workflow.
Measure More Accurately. Reduce Rework. Work Digitally.
Less Time Measuring. More Time for Your Craft.
With Solaflex, measurements are transferred directly from the digital measuring device to the app. The contour is created digitally as you measure – including dimensions, angles and cut-outs.
This allows even complex on-site situations to be captured accurately, with the resulting data immediately available for further digital processing.
Digitally Measuring a Window Sill
How can you measure a window sill quickly, accurately and digitally? 📐
In this how-to video, we show you step by step how to measure a window sill using the Solaflex digital measuring system.
Measurements are transferred directly from the digital measuring device to the Solaflex app.
The result: precise measurement data, fewer potential errors and a more efficient workflow – from the job site to further processing.
