  Concrete cutting, what is it 

 Concrete cutting is a technological process that provides the formation of openings in structures made of concrete and stone, brick and reinforced concrete. Similar technology is used to smooth corners, refine openings and expand them, and lay utilities. The process consists of marking, sawing the seams and creating an opening.
Why diamond concrete cutting? It is known that diamond is the hardest material on the planet, therefore its wear during operation is minimal.

​

  Why diamond concrete cutting is needed
The use of concrete cutting technology replaces the impact-perforating method, which is common in construction and the implementation of repairs. High-tech diamond cutting of concrete simplifies and speeds up construction, the process guarantees the production of technological holes of the required types:

• Door and window openings in monolithic structures;

• Gutters for laying engineering communications and wires.

In a few hours of work, you can get a hole for a safe in the wall, a niche for a fireplace or a dressing room, a TV or shelves. Due to the high precision of the work, no further processing of the cut edges is required. With the use of diamond cutting technology, the partial and phased dismantling of buildings for any purpose or redevelopment of an apartment is carried out.

  Benefits of using diamond cutting

​

Diamond cutting, carried out using specialized equipment and tools, has a number of advantages, among which we can first of all highlight:

• No dust on site. During surface treatment, the generated dust is collected by a dust collector or deposited by a water supply. Water consumption is 4-10 litres per minute;

• Maintaining the integrity of the structure. Special equipment does not exert dynamic or shock, vibration load on the treated surface;

• Obtaining geometrically even cuts. The design features of the tool are used to provide a cut with minimal deviations from the markup;

• Minimum time investment. Similar surface cutting operations per work shift using scrap and a perforator take from 3 to 5 days. Diamond cutting allows you to finish work several times faster.

  Types of diamond cutting

​

There are 2 classification methods. According to the first, there are:

• Dry cutting - the diamond blades used in it do not require cooling with water, which is offset by the low speed of work (the tool overheats and must be cooled every 3-4 minutes) and rapid wear. Suitable for cutting small recesses (up to 200 mm). Suitable for the construction of houses remote from water. Or when performing work in rooms where finishing has begun. But it is better not to use it indoors due to the abundance of dust and noise.

• Wet - is characterized by a higher speed of work and provides less tool wear during operation. Thanks to the use of water, cutting is more precise and less dusty. Therefore, it can be used in residential areas.
