ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE CUTTING
WHAT IS ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE SAW CUTTING?
Architectural concrete saw cutting uses a concrete saw to cut lines in slabs of concrete for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Luxury concrete projects use saw cuts to create precise lines and complex patterns. On top of forming visually pleasing designs, this also relieves the stress tension in concrete slabs that creates unwanted cracking. Saw-cutting relief joints is also a more efficient of cutting lines than using hand tools while the concrete is still wet and being placed/finished.
​
Most high-end concrete project managers and architects in BC request the lines to be cut by professionals using a concrete saw. These projects are often feature areas such as pool decks, patios, decorative front and back walkways, sidewalks, garages and driveways on luxury properties.
WHEN ARE ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE SAW CUTS MADE?
Architectural concrete saw cuts are made after the concrete has been placed/finished but before the concrete has cured completely, usually 1-3 days later. Cutting the lines after the project has been placed/finished allows the placers and finishers to focus on their job without having to worry about cutting lines while the concrete is still wet. Concrete projects are time-sensitive, and rushing can cause mistakes which become irreversible. Allow the experts at 'Straight Edge Concrete Cutting' to come in after the placers and finishing team to focus soley on the line cutting by taking their time to make precise measurements and cuts.
WHY DO YOU USE CONCRETE SAW CUTS ON LUXURY PROJECTS?
Professional concrete saw cuts made after the project finishes will create sharper, more uniform lines than using hand tools while the concrete is still wet. A concrete saw can also cut deeper lines, relieving more tension and ensuring less cracking due to stress fractures. Using a dedicated team of concrete saw-cutting experts also increases efficiency due to job specialization. Forcing the placing and finishing team to make cuts in the concrete with hand tools while the concrete is still wet forces them to slow down and do the project in small pieces. It is much easier for them to pour, place and finish large areas when they don't have to time the drying process and go back over their work to make cuts while the concrete is drying.

With the increasing demand for intricate, complex and precise concrete designs, the use of professional concrete saws has become a standard practice. These saws have new technology and specialized blades that allow for accurate and clean cuts, making them the go-to process for luxury architects, project managers, contractors, and homeowners.
The ability to create precise lines is extremely crucial in high-end homes where attention to detail is of utmost importance. These homes feature increasingly unique and complex concrete designs, such as geometric shapes, intricate patterns as well as different types of concrete mixes and stamped patterns. Curved walls pose a complex problem for relief lines and take quite a bit of time to measure and cut. Professional concrete saws are adaptable for cutting through different types of concrete, such as reinforced, stamped, and stained concrete. Each type of concrete requires a specific type of blade based on its compressive strength. The team of experts at 'Straight Edge Concrete Cutting' use a variety of blades to suit different concrete needs. This versatility allows for concrete cutting saws to be used in a range of designs, making it possible to create stunning and one-of-a-kind concrete features for high-end homes.
Lastly, in addition to precision and versatility, architectural concrete cutting using professional concrete saws offers benefits in efficiency and speed. These saws allow for quick and efficient completion of projects. This saves time but also reduces labour costs, making it a cost-effective option for luxury concrete projects.
CONCLUSION:
Architectural concrete cutting using professional concrete saws is an essential aspect of luxury concrete projects for high-end homes. It offers precision, versatility, and efficiency, making it the go-to choice for creating intricate and precise concrete designs. Architectural concrete cutting allows for endless design possibilities for creating luxurious and unique concrete features for high-end homes.
