Our actual template process is very interesting to see. Gone are the days of wooden stick templates or cardboard. A large sprinter van with the StoneWorks logo will arrive at your home. Inside the van exists a digital template office, complete with a Proliner digital templating device, laptop computer, and a large sign maker type printer. The templater will use his Proliner device to digitally register points on your cabinets, walls, and appliances. He will then return to the van in order to make CAD alterations and print onto mylar plastic sheets. The mylar templates are brought back into the house for final checking and customer approval. This gives the customer a chance to see the actual shapes exactly as they will be cut. If a corner needs a larger radius or a seam needs to be shifted, here is the chance to alter it.
