Silencio Construction Saw Blade By Clipper®

Pedestrian areas, residential areas, city-centres, schools and hospitals are especially sensitive to noise with more and more local regulations preventing excessive noise levels on commercial and residential building sites. In response, Saint-Gobain has developed “SILENCIO” – an innovation in silent blade technology which drastically reduces sound generated on the job site by 15-25dB(A).

 

The “SILENCIO” is available in three specifications: petrol handheld saws, floor saws and masonry saws. Each is fine-tuned to get the best cutting performance and reach the best noise-damping effect, taking into account the specific requirements of each application.
