Floor Saw (Road Sawing)

What is floor sawing (road sawing)?

Floor sawing - also referred to as road sawing or slab sawing - is a form of concrete cutting that’s typically used to cut flat horizontal surfaces.

From concrete floors to roadways and pavements, runways to bridge decks, floor sawing is a versatile concrete cutting technique that can be used on a wide variety of hard flat surfaces.

Floor saws can be powered by different sources, including diesel, petrol and electric motors. Electric road saws are a great fume-free option for indoor areas, confined spaces, or sites without adequate ventilation.

What’s more, floor saws can cut to a range of different depths, making them suitable for various applications and project types.
