What is a Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to a well-known structural element constructed from cast concrete. It's an even, horizontal concrete slab, commonly employed as a floor or roofing. For durability and to ensure years of service, contractors include welding wire mesh or reinforcing steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

However, it is vital for an expert to calculate and provide the right measurements. A properly measured thickness will impact the strength of the slab and the whole structure. The slab's thickness differs based on the project. For instance, in residential flooring 4 inches is the most common thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches of thickness in buildings carrying heavy loads often.

 

Benefits of Concrete Slabs

Concrete slabs are one of the most sought-after construction materials. Over the years, builders have used it to build various construction structures. It is a popular choice for foundations and other development projects. Unlike other construction materials, concrete has many advantages. Its advantages include:

 

Longevity and Durability

There's not a more robust construction material than concrete. If properly maintained and cared for, it can allow concrete structures to last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Proper reinforcement can also prolong the lifespan and robustness of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that there aren't any pores or voids in this concrete slab. So, reducing the likelihood for cracks as well as other damages.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete has a great thermal mass. This refers to its capacity to control the flow energy. Because of its large thermal mass, it's able to maintain indoor comfort and lessen or increase the temperature inside by absorbing natural heat. Materials with high thermal mass are helpful to those who live in areas of extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has numerous advantages, among them its resistance different elements. One of them is the absence of organic material. Thus, it will not degrade because of rotting or an excessive amount of heat that causes rust. Furthermore, it has an extremely high compressive strength that means that it won't break when squeezed. We also can apply concrete treatments on concrete surfaces to make them more resistant to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another quality that makes concrete popular is its versatility. Concrete is extremely flexible, it is possible to do a lot of it. Using different methods and applications and techniques, you can design a concrete slab with the color, texture, as well as the pattern you prefer. There are experts who can customize it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Contrary to other building materials, concrete is very easy to maintain. It doesn't require regular maintenance services by a professional. It is simple to get rid of dirt, stains and dust with basic cleaning supplies.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs that are poured slabs made by pouring concrete on the spot. We follow a process for placing concrete on the ground and ensuring that we achieve significant outcomes. Concrete pouring gives us the freedom to make last-minute changes in the design of the surface. It also allows us to adjust the size of the job on site if necessary. With its features, it makes a perfect choice for concrete projects that can be customized.

If there's a downside to this, it would be time and cost. Since we pour a concrete slab at the site there is a need for more tools and equipment, such as the use of a concrete mixer or a bull float. Additionally, we'll require more workers for the job. The installation cost is higher. Poured concrete slabs are difficult to work with. To cure concrete slab alone takes about 21 days. We do not leave you with concrete that is still wet. We let concrete slabs to cure so we can perform a quality check before turning over the project. If you're not prepared to endure that much time, then this option is ideal for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

Like the name implies, this type of slab is precast. The slabs are created in a factory before being delivered straight towards the location of the project. You can however customize the size or thickness of the slabs however making adjustments and quick changes on-site is impossible. Like the slabs you pour directly they are less costly and is less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Decorative concrete slabs are slabs created with the color design, or design of your choice. We also can customize a pattern to your slabs according to the design you like. This application is available only on the basis of our concrete slab poured services. If you don't, it's difficult to attain the design or design you'd like.
