What is a concrete slab?

A concrete slab is the most popular structural element made of cast concrete. It is a flat horizontal concrete surface that is commonly used for floors or a roof. In order to guarantee durability and years of efficiency, contractors will add the wire mesh that is welded or reinforced steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

While it's also important that you have an expert calculate and present accurate measurements. The right thickness can influence the structural integrity of the slab as well as the structure. The slab's size varies depending on the project. For instance, in the case of residential flooring 4 inches is a standard thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches of thickness in buildings that carry heavy loads regularly.

 

Benefits of Concrete Slabs

A concrete slab is an extremely sought-after construction material. For many years, contractors have used it to create various construction structures. It's a typical choice for foundations and other construction projects. It is different from other construction materials because concrete has the advantage of being durable. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Longevity and Durability

There may not be a more robust construction material than concrete. A proper maintenance and care can allow concrete structures to last for many years. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. The proper reinforcement can increase the life and strength of concrete slabs. We can compress concrete to the point that we do not have any pores or voids within the concrete slab. Thus, reducing the risk for cracks as well as other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete is characterized by its high thermal mass. This refers to its ability to regulate the flow or flow of thermal energy. Because of its large thermal mass, it is able to regulate comfort in the indoor environment and reduce or increase the temperature of indoor spaces by absorbing natural heat. Materials that have the highest thermal mass will be useful in areas that experience extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages, such as its resistance to different elements. Its main advantage is its absence of organic material. Therefore, it cannot fall apart due to rotting nor the rusting that is caused by heat. Additionally, it has a relatively high compressive strength, which means that it won't break when squeezed. It's also possible to apply specific concrete treatment on concrete surfaces to help them resist to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another reason concrete is famous is its flexibility. Concrete is extremely flexible, it's easy to make lots of it. Utilizing a variety of methods and techniques that allow you to make a concrete slab in the texture, color and pattern of your preference. It is possible to have experts design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

In contrast with other construction materials concrete is simple to maintain. Concrete doesn't require regular maintenance or care from a professional. You can easily rid yourself of dirt, stains and dust by using basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

A concrete slab that has been poured is slabs made by pouring concrete on the site. We follow a method for installing concrete on site, which allows us to guarantee significant results. When we pour concrete, we have the flexibility to make changes in the design of the surface. Also, it allows us to adjust the size of the job on site if necessary. Due to its characteristics, it's an ideal choice for custom concrete construction projects.

If there's an issue to this plan, it's time and cost. Since we'll be pouring a concrete slab on the spot We will require more equipment and tools, for example, a concrete mixer and bull floating. Additionally, we'll need more workers for the work. This means that the installation cost is much higher. Concrete slabs that are poured are slow to cure. A concrete slab that is cured on its own can take as long as 21 days. Our goal is to not leave you with wet concrete. We let the slabs to dry so that we can do a quality check before turning over the work. If you're not willing the time to wait, then this option is ideal for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name implies that this slab type is precast. The slabs are produced in a plant and shipped straight on to construction sites. Even though you can modify the size that the slab is made, making modifications or necessary changes at the last minute is not possible. Like the slabs you pour directly it is more affordable and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs with decorative design are that are made using the color, design or texture you want. Also, we can create a layout for your slabs depending on the style you prefer. This is only possible in the event that you opt for the concrete slab services we offer. In the absence of this, it can be difficult to create the design or look you're looking for.
