The concrete core cutting is an important stage in construction and repair, which many people encounter, when they need to re-plan the premises, make repairs or do the dismantling. Previously, the work, related to punching concrete, was long-term, noisy and time-consuming, for now, using modern tools, cutting openings in concrete walls can be performed with minimal labor costs and in a fairly quick time.
There are various types of cutting, with which smooth holes are made quickly and efficiently. Among them, the diamond cutting by a saw is in the lead, as it differs in the following advantages in comparison with other types:
- The work does not pose a danger to the walls.
- The vibration, that is created during work, is much less than the vibration created during punching with a hammer drill, so the risk of cracks in the walls is significantly reduced.
- Accuracy. Concrete core cutting guarantees the performance of cuts along the marking lines precisely and at the required angles.
- Low noise. The noise, that is produced, does not exceed sanitary standards.
- The minimum amount of dust and debris. During such cutting of openings in concrete walls, the appearance of cracks is not provoked.
Unfortunately, diamond cutting also has drawbacks, the main of which are the following:
- High energy consumption.
- It's necessary to cool the unit with water.
- The high cost of consumables, which are spray saws.
No matter what you need to do, entrust the layout of the pros. Because, it's very important to take into account many factors. For example, the number of the floor, on which the work will be carried out (the loads on the walls will be the less, the higher the floor on which the apartment is located), or because of the danger of the collapse the lower floors, the concrete cutting with wall saws is not used or is very limitedly used in multi-storey panel houses, as well as in limited space and with small volumes. Also, the measurements have to be perfectly made and, as besides the diamond there are many types of cutting, you need to choose it correctly for your case. Sometimes, diamond concrete sawing not a panacea for any work.
