What is a concrete slab?

Concrete slabs are an extremely popular structural component made of cast concrete. This is an elongated horizontal concrete surface commonly employed as a floor, or as a roof. To ensure durability and years in performance, contractors incorporate welded wire mesh or reinforcing steel bars to a concrete slab that has been reinforced.

Furthermore, it is necessary to get an expert calculate and provide proper measurements. A proper thickness will influence the strength of the slab and the whole structure. The thickness of the slab will differ based on the type of project. For instance, in the case of residential floor construction, 4 inches is the recommended thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness for buildings that have heavy load loads regularly.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

Concrete slabs are one of the most popular construction materials. For years, contractors have used it to construct various building structures. Concrete is the most popular choice for foundations , as well as other development projects. As opposed to other materials for construction, concrete is incredibly beneficial. Its benefits include:

 

Longevity and Durability

There's probably no more durable construction material that concrete. When properly cared for and maintained, it will allow concrete structures to last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. The proper reinforcement can increase the lifespan and toughness of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted so that there aren't any gaps or porous areas in this concrete slab. So, we can reduce the risk for cracks as well as other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete is known for its high thermal mass, which refers to its ability to manage the flow of energy. Because of its thermal mass, it's capable of helping control indoor comfort and decrease and increase indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials with high thermal mass work in places with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete offers many advantages, that include its resistance against many different elements. One of them is the absence of organic matter. Therefore, it is unable to become degraded due to rotting or rusting caused by excessive heat. Additionally, it has very high compressive strengths, which means it will not break when squeezed. It's also possible to apply specific concrete treatments to concrete surfaces so that they are more resistant to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another factor that makes concrete popular is its flexibility. The material is so flexible it's possible to make a lot of it. Utilizing a variety of methods and techniques that allow you to make a concrete slab in the color, texture and design of your choice. You can even have experts create it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

As opposed to other construction materials concrete is incredibly simple to maintain. It does not need regular maintenance maintenance from a professional. You can effortlessly get rid of dirt, stains and dust by using simple cleaning products.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

These are made by pouring the concrete on the site. The process we follow is making concrete at the site in order to deliver impressive outcomes. Concrete pouring gives us the flexibility to make changes to the appearance of the surface. Also, it allows us to modify the size of the project onsite if required. Because of its capabilities, it's the perfect option for projects made of concrete that are custom-designed.

If there is a downside to this, it would be time and cost. Since we'll have to pour a concrete slab on the ground it is necessary to have more tools and equipment like one concrete mixer, and a bull float. Additionally, we'll need extra workers to complete the work. Therefore, the cost of installation is much higher. Poured concrete slabs are long-lasting. To cure concrete slab alone could take up to 21 calendar days. We will not leave you with concrete that is still wet. We let the slabs ' to cure so we can conduct an inspection before turning over the project. If you're unable to wait for that long we'd recommend this for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name implies that the slabs of this kind are precast. The slabs are made at a factory and are then shipped directly over to the job site. While you are able to customize the dimensions or thickness of the slabs however making adjustments and any last-minute adjustments on site is not possible. In contrast to slabs that are poured directly in the slab, precast costs less money and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

decorative concrete slabs are slabs built with the color design, or design of your choice. We also can customize a style for your slabs according to the design you like. This service is available only on the basis of our concrete slabs that are poured. Otherwise, it will be hard to achieve the look or style you want.
