Large-format installations spanning multiple floors place high demands on measurement. Digital planning provides the accuracy and confidence needed for a reliable fit.
Measuring Large-Format Tiles in a Stairwell – Precise Planning Across Multiple Floors
The wall surface of this stairwell, which is over 8 metres (26 ft) high, was completely clad with large-format porcelain panels. The accurate digital measurement of this three-storey stairwell was completed in approximately 2 hours.
Typical Challenge:
Different floor levels, large-format panels, and complex geometries make measuring prone to errors. Any rework is time-consuming and costly.
The Solaflex Solution:
The layout of the large-format panels (3000 × 500 mm) was planned in advance using the Solaflex App. The completed drawing was exported as a DXF file and sent directly to the fabricator, allowing all panels to be cut before installation. Thanks to this prefabrication process, no cutting was required on-site. This eliminated dust, noise, and the constant switching between cutting and installation, allowing the stairwell wall cladding to be installed quickly and efficiently.
the result:
- Prefabrication of the tiles before installation
- No on-site tile cutting required
- Significantly faster installation
- Clean and well-organised workflow
