What is a Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to the most popular structural element made out of cast concrete. This is an elongated, horizontal concrete surface that is commonly employed as a floor or roofing. To ensure durability and years of use, contractors may add an unwelded wire mesh or reinforcement steel bars to a reinforced concrete slab.

Meanwhile, it is essential to hire an expert calculation and make the correct measurements. The correct thickness will affect the integrity of the slab, as well as the entire structure. The slab's thickness is dependent on the structure. For example, for residential floor construction, four inches is the usual thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches of thickness for buildings that carry heavy loads regularly.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

A concrete slab is a very popular construction material. For years, contractors have employed it to construct a variety of building structures. Concrete is the most popular choice for foundations and other construction projects. It is different from other construction materials because concrete has a lot of advantages. Its benefits include:

 

Durability and Longevity

There's probably no more durable construction material that concrete. When properly cared for and maintained, it can help concrete structures last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. A proper reinforcement will also increase the life span and strength of concrete slabs. We can make concrete compact so that we do not have the appearance of voids or porous regions in the concrete slab. Thus, reducing the chances of cracks or other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete is known for its high thermal mass. This refers to its capacity to control the flow of thermal energy. Because of its high thermal mass, concrete can help regulate indoor comfort as well as reduce and increase indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials that have high thermal mass work in locations with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, among them its resistance various elements. Of these is its lack of organic material. Therefore, it cannot fall apart due to rotting nor the burning of metals caused by excessive heat. It also has significant compressive strength that signifies that it will not fracture when squeezed. It's also possible to apply specific concrete treatments to concrete surfaces in order to make them more resistant to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another thing that makes concrete so popular is its ability to be used in a variety of ways. It is so adaptable that it's easy to make lots of it. Employing various methods and applications and techniques, you can design concrete slabs in the color, texture or pattern you would like. It is possible to have experts design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

As opposed to other construction materials concrete is extremely simple to maintain. It does not require regular maintenance care by a pro. It is easy to get rid of stains, dirt, as well as dust, using standard cleaning supplies.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs that are poured constructed by pouring concrete onto site. We follow a set of steps for placing concrete on the ground, which allows us to guarantee significant results. Concrete installation gives us freedom to make last-minute changes regarding the design of the surface. Additionally, we can adjust the size of the project onsite if it is required. Its advantages mean that it makes a perfect choice for projects made of concrete that are custom-designed.

If there's any downside to this, it's the time and expense. Because we will pour a concrete slab at the site the site, we require more devices and tools, including one concrete mixer, and a bull float. We'll also need more people to do the work. So, the price for installation is higher. Concrete slabs poured in a concrete mix are time-consuming. The process of curing concrete slabs on their own can take up to 21 days. We don't leave you with concrete that is still wet. We allow the slabs to dry so that we can do an inspection before turning over the project. If you're unwilling to put off waiting that long, it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name implies that the slabs of this kind are precast. The slabs are produced in a factory before being delivered directly at the place of work. While you are able to customize the dimensions for the slab, making any adjustments or last-minute changes onsite is impossible. Contrary to the slabs poured directly Precast is cheaper and requires less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs that are decorative are created with the color design, or texture you want. You can also design a pattern for your slabs depending on your preference. This service is available only when you use our concrete slab services. Otherwise, it's very difficult to design or style you desire.
