What is Concrete Slab?

Concrete slabs are the most popular structural element made out of cast concrete. It's an even, horizontal concrete surface used as a floor or roofing. To ensure long-term durability and years of performance, contractors add an unwelded wire mesh or reinforcement steel bars to a concrete slab that has been reinforced.

However, it is vital that you have an expert calculate and provide the right measurements. Having the right thickness will have an impact on the integrity of your slab as well as the structure. The slab's thickness is dependent on the particular project. For example, for residential floor construction, four inches is the norm thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches of thickness for construction that are regularly subject to heavy loads.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

A concrete slab is an extremely popular construction material. Over the years, builders have used it to create various construction structures. It's a typical choice in foundations and for other development projects. As opposed to other materials for construction, concrete is extremely beneficial. The advantages of concrete include:

 

Durability and Longevity

There's no more durable construction material than concrete. Proper care and upkeep could make concrete structures last for many years. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Proper reinforcement can also prolong the life span and strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that there aren't gaps or pores within the slab of concrete. Thus, reducing the risk of cracking and other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a high thermal mass, which refers to its ability to control the flow energy. Because of its high thermal mass, it's able to improve indoor comfort, and also reduce or increase the temperature of indoor spaces by absorption of natural heat. Materials with high thermal mass work in areas that experience extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, like its resistance various elements. For instance, it is devoid of organic matter. Therefore, it does not fall apart due to rotting nor an excessive amount of heat that causes rust. Furthermore, it has the highest compressive strength that is why it doesn't break when squeezed. We also can apply concrete treatments to concrete surfaces so that they are more resistant to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another attribute that makes cement famous is its flexibility. It is so adaptable that you can do a lot of it. By using a variety methods and tools that allow you to make a concrete slab with the color, texture and pattern you like. You can even have experts create it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Unlike other construction materials, concrete is very easy to maintain. It doesn't require frequent upkeep by a professional. You can quickly get rid of dirt, stains and dust using a few basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

They are slabs created by pouring concrete over the spot. We follow a procedure for placing concrete on the spot to ensure we get significant results. Concrete is poured gives us the opportunity to make last-minute adjustments to the design of the surface. It also permits us to modify the size of the project in the field if necessary. Because of its capabilities, it's an excellent choice for concrete projects that can be customized.

If there's a drawback to this, it would be the time and expense. Since we'll be pouring concrete slab on the site it is necessary to have more machinery and tools like one concrete mixer, and a bull float. We'll also need more workers for the work. The installation cost is much higher. Poured concrete slabs are also lengthy. For the concrete slab to cure, it can take up to 21 days. Our goal is to not leave you with concrete that is still wet. We wait for the slabs to set so we can do an inspection before turning over the project. If you're not willing the time to wait, it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

Like the name implies, the slabs of this kind are precast. These slabs are constructed in a manufacturing facility and then delivered directly towards the location of the project. Even though you can modify the dimensions or thickness of the slabs however making adjustments and any last-minute adjustments on site is not possible. In contrast to slabs that are poured directly the precast slab is less expensive and is also less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs with decorative designs are that are made using the color, pattern, or style you would like. Also, we can create a style for your slabs based on your preference. This feature is only available should you select our concrete slab poured services. In the absence of this, it can be difficult to create the design or style that you prefer.
