Cutting Gems

Sisson

This project was a fascinating quartz material countertop, which involves very slow cutting to precise the security and durability of our beautiful material!

Quartz countertops are a form of engineered stone made from ground-up particles of quartz bound together with resins, Quartz is a great choice for its durability, ease of cleaning, and color selection.

Cutting stones is a slow process that requires skill and dedication.

Our projects have the best team for cutting your stone projects, people who love the beauty and design in every material.

Cutting stone for hardscaping projects can involve shaping wall stone, rock-facing bluestone, and more. With patience and practice, your projects will look amazing, and the value of our work is immaculate. Here are some tips for cutting stone:

Choose the right tools

Different types and sizes of rock hammers, chisels, and rasp files can make the cutting process easier and more efficient. You can also use a demolition saw, also known as a concrete saw, to cut solid materials like concrete, brick, and tile.

Mark the stone

Mark where you want to make cuts to help you achieve the desired shape and size.

Apply force strategically

Stones are strong in compression but weak in tension, bending, and twisting. Consider how the stone is supported and apply force in a way that takes advantage of its weaknesses. This information we just provided to you is very general, every material is different and requires different cutting, treatments and care.
