Scoring

Scoring creates the look of greater elegance by transforming concrete into the appearance of tile, marble or stone. In new construction, it is generally best to score 3-4 days after pour as it is easier on the equipment and there are no obstructions. However, scoring can be done at any time.

The optimum depth of score is 1/16"  but no deeper than 1/8". This is easily achieved by the use of a circular saw with a diamond/metal composite, segmented blade, carpenter lead pencil for marking, and a 2"x6" straight edge.
