We guarantee timeliness and precision with our Waterjet tile cutting services
Our waterjet tile cutting service uses water and an abrasive to cut very intricate designs at high speed without breakage.
Waterjet technology cuts porcelain or tile without heat or distortion which allows for a range of options such as:
- inlays, signs or medallions
- artistic accents
- any design your imagination can think of
Compared to traditional cutting tools our machines dramatically reduce work time for tile fabricators. We also reduce your scrap which saves you on raw material savings.
You get the best edge possible because the waterjet does not impart any heat or surface stress onto tile. Therefore, the material retains original appearance and strength.
Whatever design you can dream up we can cut it!
