Cutting Polymer Concrete & Forming Miter Joints

Miter joint cuts are made by sawing the channels to the desired angle and butting them together. A suitable adhesive can be used to bond the two sections together. If the channels are to transport a corrosive solution, an appropriate adhesive or sealant should be used.Grates should butt joint and not miter joint to maintain grate strength.

Cutting polymer concrete for miter joints or length adjustments may be accomplished using a standard masonry or concrete saw. Water-cooled diamond encrusted or dry cutting abrasive masonry saws may also be used.

Warning: When sawing sections of polymer concrete channel, wear gloves, protective eyeglasses and a respirator mask. Avoid breathing the airborne silica particles (created when sawing) as it may be harmful to your health.
