What is a Concrete Slab?

Concrete slabs are a structural feature that is commonly made of cast concrete. It's a flat, horizontal concrete surface , which is often used for floors or roofing. To ensure durability and years in performance, contractors incorporate steel mesh wire or steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

Meanwhile, it is essential for an expert to calculate and provide proper measurements. The proper thickness of the slab will impact the strength of the slab as well as the structure. The thickness of the slab varies based upon the specific project. For instance, in residential flooring 4 inches is considered the ideal thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches for buildings that are regularly subject to heavy loads.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

Concrete slabs are an extremely popular construction material. Over the years, builders have employed it for the construction of various construction structures. Concrete is a well-known choice for foundations and other construction projects. In contrast to other building materials, concrete is extremely beneficial. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Longevity and Durability

There's probably no more durable construction material that concrete. With proper care and maintenance, you can help concrete structures last for many years. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. In addition, proper reinforcement can prolong the lifespan and robustness of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted in a way that there aren't any voids or areas of porous material in the concrete slab. It also reduces the possibility of cracks and other damage.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete is characterized by its high thermal mass. It refers to its ability to control the flow of thermal energy. Because of its thermal mass, it's capable of helping regulate indoor comfort and reduce or increase indoor temperatures through absorption of natural heat. Materials that have large thermal mass can be beneficial to those who live in areas of extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, that include its resistance against many various elements. For instance, it is devoid of organic matter. This means it won't suffer from rotting or the formation of rust due to excessive heat. Furthermore, it is an impressive compressive strength that means it isn't likely to break when squeezed. We can also apply specific concrete treatments to concrete surfaces that make them more resilient to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another reason concrete is very popular is its versatility. Concrete is very flexible and you can do a lot of it. With a variety of techniques and applications one can build an attractive concrete slab using the texture, color, as well as the pattern you prefer. Experts can design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

As opposed to other construction materials concrete is extremely simple to maintain. It doesn't require routine maintenance services by a professional. You can quickly get rid of dirt, stains and dust by using basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

These are made by pouring concrete on the spot. We follow a process for placing concrete on the spot which ensures that we can deliver substantial results. Concrete pouring gives us the liberty to make last minute changes to the design of the surface. Additionally, we can adjust the size of the job on site if needed. Because of its capabilities, it's the ideal option for projects made of concrete that are custom-designed.

If there's one downside to this, it would be time and cost. Since we'll have to pour a concrete slab on the site the site, we require more equipment and tools, for example, the use of a concrete mixer or a bull floating. Also, we will require an additional workforce to do the job. This means that the installation cost is much more expensive. Concrete slabs poured in a concrete mix are costly to install. To cure concrete slabs alone takes about 21 days. It is not our intention to leave you with wet concrete. We let concrete slabs to cure so we can do one final quality inspection before handing over the work. If you're not prepared to put off waiting that long, it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

According to the name, the slabs of this kind are precast. The slabs are manufactured at a factory, and then shipped straight towards the location of the project. Even though you can modify the dimensions and shape of your slabs, making changes and last-minute changes onsite is impossible. Like the slabs you pour directly they are less costly and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

decorative concrete slabs are slabs designed with the color design or texture of your preference. Also, we can create a style for your slabs in accordance with your preference. The application is only available if you choose our concrete slabs poured service. If you don't, it's very difficult to design or style you'd like.
