Waterjet Cutting Project Spotlight: Custom Home Tile and Stone

Client: Custom Built Home

Industry: Tile and Stone

 

The Challenge

Create a custom kitchen backsplash from a solid piece of porcelain slab, while also custom cutting openings for electrical plugs, and space for a microwave and making it happen within a one week period.

 

The Solution

Working had in hand with the client to provide precise measurements and build CAD drawing so as to produce a water jet cut prototype for material testing and verify edge cut quality as requested by the client. Once approved, final product was finished on schedule and we provided the client’s installers with a detailed diagram, simplifying the installation process, saving the client both time and money.
