What is Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab is a structural feature that is commonly made of concrete cast. They are flat, horizontal concrete surface commonly used for flooring or for a roof. To ensure long-term durability and years in performance, contractors incorporate an unwelded wire mesh or reinforcement steel bars to a reinforced concrete slab.

However, it is vital for an expert to calculate and provide proper measurements. Having the right thickness will have an impact on the integrity of your slab as well as the whole structure. The thickness of the slab varies based upon the specific project. For instance, in the case of residential floor construction 4 inches is the standard thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness on buildings carrying heavy loads often.

 

Benefits of Concrete Slabs

Concrete slabs are an extremely well-known construction material. For years, contractors employed it to build a variety of building structures. It is a common choice in foundations and for other development projects. Like other construction materials concrete is so advantageous. Its advantages are:

 

Durability and Longevity

There is no more robust construction material than concrete. Maintenance and proper care could make concrete structures last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. In addition, proper reinforcement can prolong the lifespan and toughness of concrete slabs. We can compress concrete to the point that we do not have any voids or porous areas in the slab of concrete. Thus, reducing the probability of cracks or other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete is known for its high thermal mass. This refers to its ability to regulate the flow of heat energy. Due to its thermal mass, concrete can adjust indoor comfort levels and reduce or boost indoor temperatures by absorbing natural heat. Materials that have high thermal mass are useful especially in regions with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages in particular its resistance to different elements. Of these is its lack of organic material. Thus, it will not fall apart due to rotting nor the formation of rust due to excessive heat. Furthermore, it has a high compressive strength, which implies it will not break when squeezed. We also can apply concrete treatments on concrete surfaces to make them more resistant to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another factor that makes concrete famous is its flexibility. It is so adaptable that it's possible to do lots of it. Employing various methods and applications one can build a concrete slab that is the texture, color, or pattern you would like. It is possible to have experts design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

As opposed to other construction materials concrete is simple to maintain. Concrete does not require frequent maintenance or care from a professional. You can get rid of dirt, stains as well as dust, using standard cleaning products.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

They are created by pouring a concrete slab on the spot. We follow a set of steps for installing concrete on site so that we can guarantee substantial results. Concrete pouring gives us the liberty to make last minute changes to the look of the surface. Additionally, we can alter the dimensions of the project on site if required. Thanks to its attributes, it's the ideal option for concrete projects that can be customized.

If there's a drawback to this, it's the time and expense. Since we'll be pouring concrete slab on the spot We will require more tools and equipment, such as mixing concrete and a bull floating. We will also need more workers for the work. The installation cost is much higher. Concrete slabs that are poured are costly to install. To cure concrete slabs alone takes up to 21 days. We don't leave you with concrete that is wet. We wait for the slabs ' to cure, so we can perform some quality checks before turning over the project. If you're willing to wait that long then this project isn't for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

Like the name implies, the slabs of this kind are precast. They are manufactured in a plant and shipped straight on to construction sites. Though you can alter the dimensions for the slab, making any adjustments and necessary changes at the last minute is not possible. Unlike the ones poured directly as precasts, precast costs less and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs with decorative design are built with the color pattern or texture of your choice. You can also design a design for your slabs, according to your preferences. This service is only available should you select our concrete slab services. Otherwise, it will be hard to achieve the look or style that you prefer.
