What is a Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab is a structural feature that is commonly made of cast concrete. It's flat, horizontal concrete surface , which is often employed as a floor, or roofing. To ensure durability and years of performance, contractors add an unwelded wire mesh or reinforcement steel bars to a reinforced concrete slab.

Also, it's important for an expert to calculate and supply accurate measurements. The correct thickness will have an impact on the integrity of your slab, as well as the entire structure. The slab's thickness can vary depending on the building. For instance, in residential floor construction four inches is the norm thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness when building which are subject to frequent heavy loads.

 

Benefits of Concrete Slabs

Concrete slabs are a popular construction material. For a long time, contractors have employed it to build a variety of construction structures. It's a standard choice for foundations as well as other development projects. It is different from other construction materials because concrete has so many advantages. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Durability and long-term durability

There's probably no more durable construction material that concrete. With proper care and maintenance, you can make concrete structures last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Proper reinforcement can also prolong its lifespan and increase the strength of concrete slabs. We can compact concrete to ensure that we do not have the appearance of voids or porous regions within the concrete slab. Thus, reducing the chances of cracks, and other damage.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a large thermal mass, which refers to its ability to regulate the flow of thermal energy. Because of its large thermal mass, it can adjust indoor comfort levels and reduce or increase the temperature inside by taking in natural heat. Materials that have high thermal mass work especially in regions with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, like its resistance various elements. This includes its absence of organic matter. It therefore does not become degraded due to rotting or corrosion caused by high temperatures. Additionally, it has quite a strong compressive force that means it will not break when squeezed. There are also specific concrete treatment on concrete surfaces to make them more resistant to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another quality that makes concrete so popular is its ability to be used in a variety of ways. Concrete is extremely flexible, you can do a lot of it. Through a variety or methods it is possible to create a concrete slab with the color, texture, as well as the pattern you prefer. The experts can custom design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Like other construction materials concrete is incredibly simple to maintain. Concrete does not require frequent upkeep by a professional. You can effortlessly get rid of stains, dirt, and dust by using simple cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

In the case of Poured Concrete, they are constructed by pouring concrete onto the site. We follow a process for pouring concrete onto the surface so that we can guarantee substantial outcomes. Concrete installation gives us opportunity to make last-minute adjustments to the appearance of the surface. Additionally, we can modify the size of the job on site if required. Due to its advantages, it is a great choice for custom concrete construction projects.

If there's a negative to this plan, it's the time and expense. As we pour a concrete slab on the ground it is necessary to have more tools and equipment, such as the use of a concrete mixer or a bull float. There will also be a need for more people to do the work. Therefore, the cost of installation is higher. Concrete slabs that have been poured are slow to cure. To cure concrete slab alone is a process that can take up to 21 working days. The slabs are not left with wet concrete. We wait for the slabs ' to cure so we can perform an inspection before turning over the project. If you're not prepared to sit for that long we'd recommend this for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name implies that the slabs are precast. The slabs will be manufactured in a factory and delivered directly onto the site of construction. Even though you can modify the size and shape of your slabs, making changes or quick changes on-site is impossible. Different from the ones that are poured directly in the slab, precast costs less money and is less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs that are decorative are which are crafted with the color pattern, or texture of your choice. We are also able to create a custom design for your slabs depending on your preference. This feature is only available when you use our concrete slabs that are poured. Otherwise, it's difficult to get the design or design you'd like.
