What is a concrete slab?

A concrete slab refers to an essential structural element composed from cast concrete. It's a flat horizontal concrete surface commonly used as a floor or a roof. To ensure durability and years of use, contractors may add welding wire mesh or reinforcing steel bars to a reinforced concrete slab.

Meanwhile, it is essential to get an expert calculate and take the proper measurements. In the end, the proper thickness will influence the strength of the slab as well as the structure. The slab's thickness can vary depending upon the specific project. For instance, in residential floor construction 4 inches is a standard thickness. Experts recommend five to six inches of thickness for buildings that are regularly subject to heavy loads.

 

Benefits of Concrete Slabs

Concrete slabs are one of the most popular construction materials. For years, contractors have employed it for the construction of various construction structures. It's a standard choice to build foundations and other projects. Like other construction materials concrete has many advantages. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Longevity and durability

There's no more durable construction material than concrete. Proper care and upkeep makes concrete structures last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Effective reinforcement is also able to extend the life span and strength of concrete slabs. We can compact concrete so that we do not have the appearance of voids or porous regions in this concrete slab. So, we can reduce the risk of cracks or other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a large thermal mass. This refers to its ability to manage the flow of energy. Due to its thermal mass, concrete can improve indoor comfort, and also reduce or increase the temperature inside by taking in natural heat. Materials that have great thermal mass are beneficial in places with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages, among them its resistance different elements. For instance, it is devoid of organic material. Therefore, it cannot get rotten or the burning of metals caused by excessive heat. In addition, it has an impressive compressive strength that means that it won't break when squeezed. We can also apply concrete treatments to concrete surfaces to increase their resistance to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another thing that makes concrete very popular is its versatility. Concrete is so versatile you can do a great deal of it. Through a variety or methods that allow you to make an attractive concrete slab using the texture, color and pattern of your preference. It is possible to have experts design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Unlike other construction materials, concrete is incredibly easy to maintain. Concrete doesn't require regular maintenance maintenance from a professional. You can quickly get rid of dirt, stains and dust using a few basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs that are poured slabs constructed by pouring concrete onto the ground. There is a method we use for installing concrete on site, which allows us to guarantee significant results. Pouring concrete gives us flexibility to make any last-minute adjustments in the design of the surface. It also lets us adjust the size of the project in the field if it is required. Based on its strengths, it's the ideal option for concrete projects that can be customized.

If there's any downside to this plan, it's time and cost. Since we'll be pouring concrete slab on site it is necessary to have more machinery and tools like cement mixers and a bull float. Additionally, we'll need more people to perform the job. The installation cost is much more expensive. Concrete slabs poured in a concrete mix are very time-consuming. The process of curing concrete slabs on their own can take as long as 21 days. The slabs are not left with concrete that is still wet. We let the slabs to cure so we can perform an assessment of quality prior to turning over the work. If you don't want the time to wait, it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name implies that this kind of slab is precast. The slabs will be manufactured in a facility before being shipped directly onto the site of construction. Although you can customize the size or thickness of the slabs however making adjustments or final-minute changes on the spot isn't possible. As opposed to the slabs that are directly poured as precasts, precast costs less and is also less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

These are concrete slabs built with the color pattern or texture of your choice. We are also able to create a custom pattern for your slabs according to your personal preferences. This service is only available when you select our concrete slabs poured service. In other cases, it could be difficult to get the design or style you desire.
