What is a Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to a common structural component made of concrete cast. The slab is flat horizontal concrete slab that is utilized as a floor or a roof. For durability and to ensure years of performance, contractors add an welded wire mesh or steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

It is also essential to have an expert calculate and supply accurate measurements. A properly measured thickness will influence the strength of the slab and the entire structure. The thickness of the slab varies based on the project. For instance, in the case of residential flooring 4 inches is the recommended thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches of thickness for buildings which are subject to frequent heavy loads.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

A concrete slab is an extremely well-known construction material. For decades, contractors have used it to build various building structures. It is a common choice when it comes to foundations as well as development projects. Like other construction materials concrete has many advantages. Its benefits include:

 

Durability and long-term durability

There's not a more robust construction material than concrete. Care and maintenance can help concrete structures last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Proper reinforcement can also prolong the life and strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted in a way that there aren't many voids, or porous spaces in the slab of concrete. This reduces the risk of cracking and other damages.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete has a large thermal mass, which relates to its ability to regulate the flow of thermal energy. Because of its thermal mass, it is able to regulate indoor comfort and reduce or increase indoor temperatures by absorbing natural heat. Materials with great thermal mass are beneficial in areas that experience extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages, including its resistance to many various elements. Among them is its lack of organic material. Therefore, it is unable to decay due to rotting or corrosion due to heat. Furthermore, it has quite a strong compressive force that is why it doesn't break when squeezed. We also can apply concrete treatments on concrete surfaces in order to make them more resistant to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another feature that makes concrete well-known is its flexibility. Concrete is so flexible that you can do a lot of it. Through a variety or methods for creating concrete slabs with the color, texture, or pattern you would like. The experts can custom design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Contrary to other construction materials concrete is extremely easy to maintain. It doesn't require regular maintenance or care from a professional. You can easily rid yourself of stains, dirt, and dust using a few basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

A concrete slab that has been poured is constructed by pouring concrete onto site. There is a method we use for pouring concrete onto the surface, which allows us to guarantee significant outcomes. Concrete pouring gives us the ability to make last-minute changes to the design of the surface. Also, it allows us to modify the size of the construction site when needed. Its advantages mean that it's a fantastic choice for projects made of concrete that are custom-designed.

If there's one downside to this, it's the time and expense. Since we'll pour a concrete slab onto the site we will need additional tools and equipment, like one concrete mixer, and a bull float. Additionally, we'll require more workers for the job. Thus, the expense of installing is much more expensive. Concrete slabs poured with a pour are difficult to work with. Curing concrete slabs by itself can take up to 21 days. We do not leave you with concrete that is wet. We allow the slabs to dry so that we can conduct some quality checks before turning over the project. If you're not ready to endure that much time, we'd recommend this for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name says it all, this type of slab is precast. The slabs are made in a factory before being delivered directly at the place of work. Though you can alter the dimensions for the slab, making any adjustments and final-minute changes on the spot isn't possible. The slabs are not poured directly as precasts, precast costs less and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs that are decorative are designed with the color design or style you would like. You can also design a design for your slabs, according to the design you like. This service is only available when you select our concrete slabs that are poured. If you don't, it's difficult to get the design or look you're looking for.
