What is a Concrete Slab?

Concrete slabs are a popular structural element made out of cast concrete. It's an even horizontal concrete surface that is commonly used for flooring or roofing. To ensure long-lasting durability and years of efficiency, contractors will add an welded wire mesh or steel bars to a concrete slab that has been reinforced.

Also, it's important to have an expert calculate and make the correct measurements. In the end, the proper thickness will affect the quality of the slab and also the overall structure. The thickness of the slab will differ based on the structure. For example, in residential flooring, 4 inches is a standard thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches for buildings that are regularly subject to heavy loads.

 

Benefits of Concrete Slabs

A concrete slab is one of the most sought-after construction materials. For years, contractors have used it to build various building structures. Concrete is the most popular choice to build foundations and other projects. Contrary to other construction materials, concrete has the advantage of being durable. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Durability and Longevity

There's no more durable construction material that concrete. If properly maintained and cared for, it will allow concrete structures to last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Effective reinforcement is also able to extend the lifespan and robustness of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that there aren't any pores or voids within the concrete slab. So, we can reduce the risk that cracks will occur and damage could result.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete has a significant thermal mass, which relates to its capacity to regulate the flow of thermal energy. Because of its large thermal mass, it is able to manage indoor comfort and lower or increase the temperature inside by absorbing natural heat. Materials with high thermal mass work especially in regions with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages like its resistance various elements. Among them is its lack of organic material. It is therefore unable to suffer from rotting or the formation of rust due to excessive heat. Furthermore, it is very high compressive strengths, which means it isn't likely to break when squeezed. It's also possible to apply specific concrete treatment on concrete surfaces to increase their resistance to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another factor that makes concrete so popular is its ability to be used in a variety of ways. It is so adaptable that it is possible to do a lot of it. Making use of different techniques and methods the possibility of creating concrete slabs that have the texture, color, and design that you prefer. It is possible to have experts design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Unlike other construction materials, concrete is simple to maintain. It doesn't require regular cleaning by a professional. You can effortlessly get rid of stains, dirt, and dust by using common cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

The Poured Concrete Slabs slabs created by pouring concrete over site. We follow a particular procedure for placing concrete on the ground, ensuring we deliver significant outcomes. The process of pouring concrete allows us the opportunity to make last-minute adjustments in the design of the surface. Also, it allows us to alter the dimensions of the project at the site, if necessary. Based on its strengths, it is a great choice for custom concrete construction projects.

If there's any downside to this, it's time and cost. Since we pour a concrete slab on the ground and require additional machinery and tools like the concrete mixer and bull float. Also, we will require an additional workforce to do the work. Therefore, the cost for installation is much higher. Poured concrete slabs are also lengthy. To cure concrete slab alone can take as long as 21 days. We do not leave you with wet concrete. We wait for concrete slabs to cure so we can perform an inspection to ensure the quality before turning over the project. If you're unable to wait that long, this project is for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name says it all, this type of slab is precast. These slabs are constructed in a plant and shipped straight for the build site. Even though you can modify the dimensions for the slab, making any adjustments or final-minute changes on the spot isn't possible. Unlike the ones poured directly it is more affordable and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

These are concrete slabs constructed with the color, pattern or texture of your preference. We also can customize a pattern to your slabs according to the design you like. This service is available only with our poured concrete slab services. If you don't, it's impossible to achieve the look or look you're after.
