What is a Concrete Slab?

Concrete slabs are an important structural element that is made out of cast concrete. A concrete slab can be described as a smooth horizontal concrete surface employed as a floor or for a roof. For long-lasting and durable in performance, contractors incorporate an welded wire mesh or steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

In addition, it is crucial to have an expert calculate and provide proper measurements. The correct thickness will alter the strength of slab as well as the structure. The thickness of the slab varies based on the construction. For instance, in residential floor construction, 4 inches is the typical thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches of thickness for structures carrying heavy loads often.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

Concrete slabs are a well-known construction material. For a long time, contractors employed it for the construction of various building structures. It is a popular choice in foundations and for other development projects. As opposed to other building materials concrete has the advantage of being durable. Its benefits include:

 

Durability and Longevity

There is no more robust construction material than concrete. When properly cared for and maintained, it makes concrete structures last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Proper reinforcement can also prolong the lifespan and toughness of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that we do not have any voids or areas of porous material in this concrete slab. Therefore, it reduces the chance of cracks and other damage.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete is known for its high thermal mass. This is due to its ability to regulate the flow and distribution of thermal energy. Because of its thermal mass it can regulate indoor comfort and reduce or boost indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials with great thermal mass are beneficial to those who live in areas of extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages which include its resistance to various elements. Its main advantage is its absence of organic matter. Therefore, it does not decay due to rotting or rusting caused by excessive heat. Furthermore, it is the highest compressive strength that means it will not break when squeezed. You can also apply concrete treatment on concrete surfaces for them to be more resistant to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another thing that makes concrete the most sought-after is its versatility. Concrete is very flexible and it is possible to do a lot of it. Through a variety or methods that allow you to make an concrete slab that has the texture, color as well as the pattern you prefer. You can have experts custom-design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Unlike other construction materials, concrete is very simple to maintain. It doesn't require regular maintenance by a professional. You are able to easily get rid of dirt, stains and dust with the help of basic cleaning products.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Formed concrete slabs can be described as slabs created by pouring concrete on the ground. We follow a set of steps for placing concrete on the ground which ensures that we can deliver substantial results. Pouring concrete gives us the liberty to make last minute changes to the look of the surface. It also lets us adjust the size of the project in the field if required. With its features, it makes a perfect choice for custom concrete construction projects.

If there's one downside to this, it would be time and cost. Because we are pouring a concrete slab on the spot it is necessary to have more tools and equipment, such as the concrete mixer and bull float. We will also need an additional workforce to do the work. Also, the installation price is much higher. Poured concrete slabs can be long-lasting. The process of curing concrete slabs on their own lasts up to 21 days. We don't leave with concrete that is still wet. We let the slabs ' to cure, so we can conduct some quality checks before turning over the work. If you're unwilling to sit for that long it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

As the name suggests, this type of slab is precast. The slabs are produced in a manufacturing facility and then delivered straight towards the location of the project. Although you can customize the dimensions and shape of your slabs, making changes or any last-minute adjustments on site is not possible. The slabs are not poured directly in the slab, precast costs less money and requires less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Decorative concrete slabs are slabs built with the color design or texture of your choice. You can also design a design for your slabs according to your preferences. This is only possible when you select our concrete slab service. If you don't, it's challenging to achieve the design or style you'd like to achieve.
