专注混凝土领域 Engraved Concrete Finishing requirements: Finishing requirements for engraving are the same as other decorative concrete. Existing concrete should be thoroughly cleaned before processing. Any traditional finish can be engraved, including stamped concrete, broom finish, smooth trowel, and salt finish. The only finish not recommended for engraving is an exposed aggregate finish. 专注混凝土领域 Decorative saw-cutting (scoring) Saw-cutting is traditionally used for contraction joints or early entry cuts to aid in crack control. Decorative saw-cutting, also known as scoring, is not intended for contraction joints. The placement and pattern can allow for score joints to coincide with cracking contraction jointing. Score joints do not have to be cut as deeply as contraction joints and normally do not create a weakened plane in the concrete. Decorative saw-cutting can be used: (a) To pattern concrete, create a border or bands, or enclose decorative features (b) As a decorative feature or texture (c) To keep post-placement color from bleeding into adjacent colors (d) To define shapes such as grid patterns for floors, borders, or cross bands (e) To define features and create artistic abstracts 专注混凝土领域 Decorative saw-cutting (scoring) Special procedures and tools: Scoring can be simply yet effectively done by a skilled tradesman using basic tools such as a circular saw or an angle grinder with diamond or abrasive masonry blade. Saw-cutting can be used on colored or uncolored concrete, textured concrete, or any traditional or specialty finish. Early-entry dry-cutting saws allow the slab to be cut before the formation of shrinkage cracks. Such cutting requires the slab to be cut completely within 24 hours of initial set. Refer to ACI 302.1R for further guidance. The cutting process historically required water as a coolant, although modern saws are able to make excellent dry cuts. Maximum 1/8 in. (3 mm) wide kerfs are standard, although 1/4 in. (6 mm) is used in those cases w
