What is a concrete slab?

A concrete slab refers to a structural feature that is commonly made out of cast concrete. They are flat horizontal concrete surface that is commonly used as a floor or as a roof. For long-lasting and durable of operation, contractors install an unwelded wire mesh or reinforcement steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

In addition, it is crucial for an expert to calculate and provide the right measurements. Having the right thickness will affect the quality of the slab and also the overall structure. The slab's thickness differs based on the particular project. For instance, in the case of residential flooring, 4 inches is considered the ideal thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches for buildings that carry heavy loads regularly.

 

Benefits of Concrete Slabs

A concrete slab is an extremely sought-after construction material. For many years, contractors have employed it to construct a variety of construction structures. Concrete is a well-known choice for foundations , as well as other development projects. Unlike other construction materials, concrete has a lot of advantages. The advantages of concrete include:

 

Durability and long-term durability

There may not be a more sturdy construction material than concrete. Proper care and upkeep can ensure that concrete structures last for many years. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. A proper reinforcement will also increase its lifespan and increase the strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that there aren't no voids or porous zones in the concrete slab. This reduces the risk that cracks will occur and damage could result.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete has a very high thermal mass. It refers to its ability to regulate the flow and distribution of thermal energy. Because of its thermal mass, it has the ability to manage indoor comfort and lower or increase indoor temperatures through absorption of natural heat. Materials that have significant thermal mass are ideal in locations with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages, for example, its resistance to various elements. The most notable is the lack of organic material. So, it doesn't decline due to rotting, or rusting caused by excessive heat. In addition, it has quite a strong compressive force, which ensures it will not crack when squeezed. We can also apply concrete treatments on concrete surfaces that make them more resilient to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another quality that makes concrete popular is its versatility. Concrete is extremely flexible, it's possible to make a lot of it. By using a variety methods and tools one can build an concrete slab that has the texture, color, and pattern you like. It is possible to have experts design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

In contrast to other materials for construction, concrete is incredibly simple to maintain. Concrete does not require frequent maintenance from a professional. It is simple to get rid of dirt, stains and dust using a few basic cleaning products.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

These are slabs formed by pouring cement on site. We follow a method for placing concrete on the spot, ensuring we deliver significant outcomes. Pouring concrete gives us flexibility to make last-minute tweaks to the look of the surface. It also allows us to modify the size of the project at the site, if necessary. Because of its capabilities, it makes a perfect choice for custom concrete projects.

If there's an issue to this plan, it's the time and expense. Since we'll be pouring concrete slab to the location it is necessary to have more tools and equipment, such as the use of a concrete mixer or a bull float. We'll also need an additional workforce to do the work. Therefore, the cost for installation is more expensive. Poured concrete slabs are slow to cure. The process of curing concrete slabs on their own takes up to 21 days. We don't leave with concrete that is still wet. We wait for the slabs to dry so that we can do one final quality inspection before handing over the work. If you're unable to wait that long, it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

Like the name implies, this slab type is precast. The slabs are manufactured in a manufacturing facility and then delivered directly towards the location of the project. Although you can personalize the dimensions that the slab is made, making modifications and final-minute changes on the spot isn't possible. Contrary to the slabs poured directly that are precast, it costs less and requires less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs for decorative purposes are built with the color pattern, or texture of your preference. They can also be customized with a design for your slabs based on your preference. This service is available only in the event that you opt for our concrete slab services. Otherwise, it will be difficult to create the design or style that you prefer.
