What Is A Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab is an essential structural element composed of concrete cast. It's an even horizontal concrete surface , which is often used for flooring or for a roof. To ensure durability and years of efficiency, contractors will add welded wire mesh or reinforcing steel bars to a concrete slab that has been reinforced.

Meanwhile, it is essential to have an expert calculate and take the proper measurements. The right thickness can affect the integrity of the slab as well as the whole structure. The slab's thickness varies depending on the building. For example, for residential floor construction, four inches is the norm thickness. Experts recommend five to six inches of thickness when building which are subject to frequent heavy loads.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

Concrete slabs are an extremely popular construction material. For a long time, contractors have employed it to construct a variety of construction structures. It is a common choice when it comes to foundations as well as development projects. In contrast to other building materials, concrete has many advantages. Its benefits include:

 

Longevity and durability

There is no more durable construction material that concrete. When properly cared for and maintained, it will allow concrete structures to last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. The proper reinforcement can increase the life span and strength of concrete slabs. We can compress concrete in such a way that we do not have gaps or pores within the slab of concrete. This reduces the risk of cracks and other damage.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

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

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, such as its resistance to different elements. Of these is its lack of organic matter. It is therefore unable to change its shape due to rotting and corrosion caused by high temperatures. It also has a relatively high compressive strength that means it will not fracture when squeezed. We also can apply concrete treatments to concrete surfaces to increase their resistance to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another thing that makes concrete popular is its flexibility. Concrete is so flexible that it's possible to make a lot of it. Through a variety or methods, you can create an concrete slab that has the color, texture and design that you prefer. There are experts who can customize it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

In contrast to other construction materials concrete is incredibly easy to maintain. It doesn't require regular maintenance services by a professional. You can get rid of dirt, stains and dust by using basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

The Poured Concrete Slabs slabs made by pouring the concrete on the ground. We follow a process for placing concrete on the spot which guarantees us to provide significant outcomes. Pouring concrete gives us flexibility to make any last-minute adjustments to the appearance of the surface. Also, it allows us to adjust the size of the project onsite if necessary. Due to its characteristics, it is a great choice for custom concrete projects.

If there's an issue to this plan, it's time and cost. Since we'll be pouring a concrete slab on the ground, we need more equipment and tools, for example, an electric mixer for concrete as well as a bull float. Additionally, we'll require more workers for the job. Thus, the installation cost is more expensive. Poured concrete slabs can be difficult to work with. Curing concrete slabs by itself takes about 21 days. Our goal is to not leave you with concrete that is still wet. We allow the slabs ' curing time so we can conduct some quality checks before turning over the project. If you're willing the time to wait, then this project isn't for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name implies that this kind of slab is precast. The slabs are created in a facility before being shipped straight onto the site of construction. Although you can customize the dimensions that the slab is made, making modifications or quick changes on-site is impossible. The slabs are not poured directly Precast is cheaper and is also less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs that are decorative are that are made using the color, design or design of your choice. We can also create a design for your slabs, depending on your preference. This application is available only on the basis of our concrete slabs that are poured. If not, it's challenging to achieve the design or style you want.
