What is A Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab is a structural feature that is commonly made of concrete cast. The slab is flat horizontal concrete slab that is used as a floor and a roof. In order to guarantee durability and years of efficiency, contractors will add an unwelded wire mesh or reinforcement steel bars to a reinforced concrete slab.

In addition, it is crucial that you have an expert calculate to provide accurate measurements. The correct thickness will alter the strength of slab as well as the whole structure. The slab's thickness can vary depending on the type of project. For example, for residential floor construction, 4 inches is a standard thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness for structures which are subject to frequent heavy loads.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

Concrete slabs are a popular construction material. Over the years, builders have used it to construct various building structures. Concrete is the most popular choice to build foundations and other projects. Contrary to other construction materials, concrete has a lot of advantages. Its benefits include:

 

Durability and Longevity

There's probably not a more durable construction material than concrete. When properly cared for and maintained, it will ensure that concrete structures last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Good reinforcement also increases the life of and the strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that we do not have many voids, or porous spaces within the concrete slab. Therefore, it reduces the chance of cracks, and other damage.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete has a very high thermal mass, which relates to its capacity to control the flow of thermal energy. Because of its high thermal mass, concrete can regulate comfort in the indoor environment and reduce or increase the temperature inside by absorption of natural heat. Materials with large thermal mass can be beneficial in places with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, that include its resistance against many different elements. Of these is its lack of organic matter. This means it won't fall apart due to rotting nor the formation of rust due to excessive heat. In addition, it has quite a strong compressive force that signifies that it will not fracture when squeezed. It is also possible to apply certain concrete treatment on concrete surfaces to help them resist to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another attribute that makes cement the most sought-after is its versatility. Concrete is so flexible that you can do a lot of it. Utilizing a variety of methods and techniques for creating concrete slabs with the texture, color as well as the pattern you prefer. It is possible to have experts design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Unlike other construction materials, concrete is extremely easy to maintain. Concrete does not require frequent upkeep by a professional. You can easily get rid of dirt, stains and dust by using simple cleaning supplies.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

They are created by pouring concrete over the spot. We use a specific procedure for making concrete at the site, which allows us to guarantee significant outcomes. Concrete pouring gives us the flexibility to make last-minute tweaks to the appearance of the surface. Additionally, we can alter the dimensions of the construction site when needed. Due to its characteristics, it's an ideal choice for customized concrete projects.

If there's a negative to this plan, it's time and cost. Since we'll have to pour a concrete slab on site the site, we require more devices and tools, including an concrete mixer as well as a bull float. There will also be a need for more workers for the work. Therefore, the cost for installation is much more expensive. Poured concrete slabs are also difficult to work with. For a concrete slab to cure on its own, it takes about 21 days. It is not our intention to leave you with concrete that is still wet. We let the slabs ' to cure so we can do some quality checks before turning over the work. If you're willing to wait that long we'd recommend this for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

As the name suggests, this type of slab is precast. The slabs are produced by a manufacturer and then transported straight towards the location of the project. While you are able to customize the size in the slab, making adjustments or late-night changes on site isn't feasible. As opposed to the slabs that are directly poured they are less costly and takes less time to complete.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Decorative concrete slabs are slabs constructed with the color, pattern or design you like. We are also able to create a custom pattern to your slabs depending on the style you prefer. This feature is only available should you select our concrete slabs poured service. In the absence of this, it can be difficult to get the design or style you'd like.
