Frequently asked questions
- How is core drilling different from breaking?
- Core drilling produces a neat hole with less damage around it. A breaker causes more vibration and leaves a rough edge.
- Can a column or beam be core drilled?
- Structural elements should not be drilled without an engineer’s approval. The decision depends on the position and the reinforcement.
- How much mess does core drilling make?
- Water is often used for cooling, which can produce slurry. In finished interiors, it is important to discuss protection in advance.
