AQUACUT ' S COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES: TEMPLATING, WATERJET CUTTING, FABRICATION, AND SWIMMING POOL SOLUTIONS
At Aquacut, we specialise in providing high-precision templating, waterjet cutting, and fabrication services for various projects, both large and small. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in every project we undertake, from intricate stonework to comprehensive swimming pool solutions. Let us take you through our step-by-step process, showcasing our capabilities through a project we executed at Liverpool St. in London.
STEP 1: ADVANCED TEMPLATING
The foundation of our precision lies in our advanced templating services. Using state-of-the-art laser templating technology, we capture exact dimensions and curvatures of any installation area. This precise data collection is crucial for guiding subsequent cutting and fabrication processes, ensuring every piece fits perfectly into the designed layout.
Our advanced CAD systems play a crucial role in ensuring precision and accuracy in all our templating services. We transform even the most basic templates into professional blueprints, which are then used by our CNC machines for cutting. This process guarantees exact replication and high-quality results.
Whether it’ s a large commercial area or a small, intricate design, our templating services provide the accuracy needed for seamless results. For instance, at Liverpool St., our templating expertise allowed us to tackle complex curved designs and multiple floors with varying layouts, setting the stage for the project ' s success.
STEP 2: PRECISION WATERJET CUTTING
Once the templating is complete, we move on to our waterjet cutting phase. Our advanced CNC-controlled waterjet cutting machines utilise high-pressure water mixed with an abrasive substance to achieve clean, precise cuts. This process is ideal for a wide range of materials, including porcelain, stone, metal, glass, and composites.
Waterjet cutting has numerous benefits: exceptional accuracy, perfectly following the building’ s curvature and minimising material waste.
STEP 3: EXPERT FABRICATION
Our skilled craftsmen then take over the fabrication process, creating bespoke items tailored to the specific needs of each project. Our fabrication services cover a wide range of materials, ensuring durable and visually appealing results.
For example, in the Liverpool St. project, we fabricated complex stone pieces to exact specifications, ensuring both durability and aesthetic appeal. Our end to end solutions, from initial design to final installation, guarantee a seamless and efficient process.
Our other specialties include:
Swimming Pools: We have a lot of experience creating features for pools large and small, such as pool nosings, finger grip grooves, step cladding, and drainage grills of all shapes and sizes. Etching & Painting: Our advanced technologies enable us to etch and paint a variety of materials, including stone, porcelain, ceramics, glazed materials, concrete, metals, plastics, and glass. Brick Set & Air Bricks: This popular service is in high demand due to our high level of service, short lead times, and competitive prices. Furniture Cladding & Vanity Units: We enable designers to create standout pieces by combining materials such as metals in tiles or stone, etching, and painting. Steps & Riser Fabrication: We fabricate thousands of steps for retail, commercial, and domestic properties, often incorporating several of Aquacut ' s services. Mechanical Fixing: Required by law for tile and stone installations above three metres, these secondary fixings complement adhesive methods. Liquid Metal: We create stunning surface finishes using a mix of fine powdered metal and specialist resins, offering a range of metals with textured or polished finishes.
Precision: Achieve intricate designs and fine tolerances. Versatility: Suitable for cutting a variety of materials. No Heat-Affected Zones: Prevents discolouration and material distortion. Clean Cuts: Leaves smooth edges without the need for secondary finishing. Minimal Breakage: Using a CNC waterjet machine minimises the risk of tiles breaking during cutting.
In the Liverpool St. project, our waterjet cutting ensured each piece of Yorkstone was cut with
Aquacut’ s advanced templating, precision waterjet cutting, and expert fabrication services are the cornerstones of our success in delivering highprecision projects. The Liverpool St. project is just one example of how our services come together to tackle complex challenges and deliver beautifully executed solutions. From large areas to intricate designs, and even specialised swimming pool installations, Aquacut transforms your vision into reality with precision and craftsmanship.
