Floor medallions are works of art that transform ordinary spaces into engaging rooms. The most compelling floor medallions are produced using precision cutting techniques that bring their site-specific patterns to life.
Waterjet cutting is the most versatile and efficient choice for delivering this precision. It is particularly well suited for cutting, among others, marble, slate, granite, porcelain and vinyl (VCT), the materials typically used by interior designers and architects for the floor medallions they envision.
At Precision Cutting Service, we have more than 29 years of experience using advanced waterjet cutting systems to create floor medallions for specifiers nationwide. Our customers number in the hundreds, including architects, designers, builders, flooring contractors, and homeowners.

Advantages of Waterjet Cutting for Floor Medallions
- Precision and Intricacy: Waterjet systems provide incredibly detailed cuts with tolerances as tight as .003.” They use a high-pressure stream of water, sometimes mixed with abrasive particles, to create the smooth, accurate cuts that designers and installers require. Post finishing, such as sanding or filing, is never required, which enhances appearance and eases installation.
- Minimized Material Waste: Because it is computer controlled by product specific software, waterjet cutting reduces material waste by nesting the maximum number of medallion pieces into the material being cut.
- No Thermal Distortion: Waterjet technology is a cold-cutting process that eliminates the warping, chemical distortion, and inaccuracy that often occurs with thermal cutting, such as with lasers. There are simply no heat-affected zones or adverse effects with waterjet cutting.
- Versatility with Various Materials: As mentioned earlier, waterjet cutting excels with virtually any type of material. It can also easily cut pieces as small or smaller than a dime and as large or larger than a full-size SUV.
- Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness: Waterjet cutting is also fast without compromising precision. Not only does this reduce labor costs, but it also accommodates tight project deadlines.
Precision Cutting Service accepts designs in many different formats, including PDFs, Vector and CAD files, technical drawings and even rough sketches.
