When this material is used in construction as a professional flooring, the question always arises, how and how to cut it off, so that the edges are intact and the polymer layer is not damaged. There are many tools for this, the main thing is to choose a convenient one.

Nuances with cutting professional flooring

In its structure, professional flooring is very similar to a simple tin sheet, only corrugated. It suggests that the conclusion is suggested that the professional flooring can also be cut as tin. But it is not entirely true. Because from above, the sheet is covered with a layer of material that saves from corrosion. And the main thing when cutting the professional flooring is to preserve the integrity of this layer.

The peculiarity of cutting professional flooring is that its coating is spoiled under the influence of high temperature, therefore it falls with cold methods. Therefore, autogen or plasma methods will not fit in this case. With a grinder, too, you need to handle carefully, use only special discs, otherwise you can destroy the entire protective layer of material. Cut the professional flooring can be used by:

1. Bulgarian.
2. Electric scissors.
3. Saw a low-speed.
4. Hacksaw.
5. Lobzik, which cut metal.

Before cutting professional flooring with the help of a grinder, you need to buy a special disk, which is precisely intended to cut the professional clothes. The thickness of this disk from 1 mm to 1.6 mm, and the teeth are made of durable material.
After the end of work, the edges of the profile flooring are needed to paint with special paint, so corrosion will not appear in these places. But the builders simultaneously are not advised to cut the entire packaging of professional flooring, because very often the metal is damaged in such cases. Plus, one is the speed of the Bulgarian. You can cut the sheets in minutes and without much effort.

A minuses are a little more:

1. Since Bulgarian is an abrasive tool, it can damage sheets. It may happen because the hot particles of metal when cutting the leaf of the grinder fall on the protective surface of the flooring and burning the polymer coating and after a while in these places corrosion appears.
2. After cutting the metal with a grinder, the edges remain torn and they will need to additionally process them.
3. A very strong and sharp sound when cutting a professional flooring with a grinder can deliver anxiety to you and your neighbors.

2. Work is performed manually, but it does not need to apply a lot of physical work.
3. It is very convenient to have a hacksaw in a cutting of a small size of sheets with a small thickness, which are then used on small roofs, fences.

Cons in the sewage of the proflist hacksaw:

1. Hoven is very simple to cut a sheet of professional flooring in a straight line, but if you need to make cuts precisely curvilinear, then nothing will work. Therefore, along with the knife, you will have to use and other tools.
2. To work with a hacksaw, you need a special table on which the professional knots are attached.
3. In any case, all the minutes of work are blurred in front of the pluses and ease of use of the erection of the metal.

Lobsik profile cutting

Electric or manual jigsaw is used when cutting a profile sheet when you need to perform curvilinear cut. If you need to perform small cuts, then a manual jigsik is well suited. But the electric is used in cases where the scope of work is very large. The quality of work does not affect what exactly the junction used.

If the wave height is from 25 mm, and the length is small, then an electric jigsik is used. It is necessary to cut such a material or along, or an across the floor. But when cutting, it is necessary to press the sheet with force so that there is no shake.

The pubsikal carriage must be designed for work with a metal, with small teeth, it is necessary to work at high speed. When you switch the speed, observe the longitudinal slope of the saw.

The advantages of these works are small cost, and among the minuses:

1. It is inconvenient to silent the profile across, if his corrugation is above 25 mm.
2. If you cut into the jigsaw thin stripes, the quality may be lost, and this work will take a lot of time.
3. If you use the electric tool, the edges of the sheet can be burned, so additionally the cut will be necessary to handle enamel.
4. Strong noise when working.

1. You can quickly and highly cut off the thin stripes, while without spending a lot of effort.
2. When cut across the sheet, the metal does not deteriorate.

Disadvantages of use of scissors:

2. Sometimes there are torn edges.

Despite the minuses, it is scissors for metal and use if you need to cut off the sheet that is used in the construction of the gate, a garage or fence. They need to cut small amounts of flooring.

Other profile cutting tools

In addition to the above tools, there are some more options than cutting professional flooring. For example, a circular saw can be used. When cutting it, it is included on small revolutions, because high can damage the sheet. When using a saw, you can easily cut a sheet in any direction, but you need to do it with a partner. And use the minimum feed.

Also use also electrical scissors, especially in cases where it is not necessary to have perfectly smooth edges. Therefore, the electrical scissors love the builders so much, the main advantage of their advantage is the speed and quality of execution, from the disadvantages - coarse edges at cuts.
