What Is A Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to an essential structural element composed out of cast concrete. It is a flat, horizontal concrete surface that is commonly used as a floor or roofing. To ensure durability and years in performance, contractors incorporate welding wire mesh or reinforcing steel bars to a concrete slab that has been reinforced.

However, it is vital to get an expert calculate to provide accurate measurements. A proper thickness will impact the strength of the slab as well as the overall structure. The thickness of the slab varies based on the building. For instance, in residential flooring, four inches is the norm thickness. Experts recommend five to six inches for buildings that are regularly subject to heavy loads.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

Concrete slabs are a very popular construction material. For decades, contractors have utilized it to construct various building structures. It's a typical choice to build foundations and other projects. As opposed to other materials for construction, concrete is so advantageous. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Durability and long-term durability

There's not a more durable construction material than concrete. When properly cared for and maintained, it will allow concrete structures to last for many years. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Effective reinforcement is also able to extend the lifespan and toughness of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted so that there aren't any pores or voids within the slab of concrete. It also reduces the possibility for cracks as well as other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a very high thermal mass, which relates to its capacity to control the flow of thermal energy. Due to its thermal mass, it's capable of helping improve indoor comfort, and also reduce or increase the temperature inside by absorption of natural heat. Materials with high thermal mass are beneficial in locations with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete offers many advantages, that include its resistance against many different elements. Of these is its lack of organic material. So, it doesn't suffer from rotting or the burning of metals caused by excessive heat. It also has quite a strong compressive force that means it isn't likely to break when squeezed. There are also specific concrete treatments on concrete surfaces so that they are more resistant to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another characteristic that makes concrete very popular is its versatility. The material is so flexible you can make a lot of it. With a variety of techniques and applications, you can create a concrete slab in the texture, color and pattern that you want. Experts can help you design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Contrary to other building materials, concrete is incredibly easy to maintain. It doesn't require frequent upkeep by a professional. It is simple to get rid of stains, dirt, and dust using a few basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

The Poured Concrete Slabs slabs created by pouring concrete on the site. We use a specific procedure for installing concrete on site and ensuring that we achieve significant outcomes. The process of pouring concrete allows us the ability to make last-minute changes to the layout of the surface. It also allows us to alter the dimensions that the project is necessary. Its advantages mean that it's the ideal option for projects made of concrete that are custom-designed.

If there's a negative to this plan, it's the time and expense. Since we'll have to pour a concrete slab on the site we will need additional machinery and tools like a concrete mixer and bull float. We will also need additional workers to finish the job. Therefore, the cost of installation is much higher. Poured concrete slabs can be lengthy. For the concrete slab to cure, it can take as long as 21 days. We do not leave with concrete that is wet. We let concrete slabs to cure so we can perform an inspection before turning over the work. If you're not willing to put off waiting that long, then this project is perfect for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

Like the name implies, this type of slab is precast. These slabs are constructed in a manufacturing facility and then delivered directly towards the location of the project. Even though you can modify the dimensions for the slab, making any adjustments or quick changes on-site is impossible. Contrary to the slabs poured directly as precasts, precast costs less and is also less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

The decorative concrete slabs are built with the color design or pattern of your choice. We can also create a pattern for your slabs according to the design you like. The application is only available should you select our concrete slabs that are poured. In the absence of this, it can be challenging to achieve the design or style you want.
