What is a concrete slab?

Concrete slabs are a common structural component made of concrete cast. It's flat horizontal concrete surface commonly used as a floor or roofing. To ensure long-lasting durability and years of efficiency, contractors will add welded wire mesh or reinforcing steel bars to a concrete slab that has been reinforced.

While it's also important to have an expert calculate and provide proper measurements. A proper thickness will affect the integrity of the slab and the entire structure. The slab's thickness can vary depending upon the specific project. For example, for residential floor construction, 4 inches is the recommended thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches for buildings with heavy loads frequently.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs are one of the most sought-after construction materials. For years, contractors have used it to build various construction structures. Concrete is the most popular choice to build foundations and other projects. Unlike other construction materials, concrete has a lot of advantages. The advantages of concrete 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 life span and strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that there aren't gaps or pores within the slab of concrete. It also reduces the possibility of cracks and other damage.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a large thermal mass, which relates to its capacity to control the flow energy. Because of its large thermal mass it can improve indoor comfort, and also reduce or increase indoor temperatures through absorption of natural heat. Materials that have 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 material. Therefore, it cannot decline due to rotting, or burning caused by extreme heat. It also has a relatively high compressive strength that ensures it will not crack when squeezed. You can also apply concrete treatments to concrete surfaces to increase their resistance to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another factor that makes concrete popular is its versatility. It is so adaptable that you can create a variety of it. Through a variety or methods the possibility of creating a concrete slab with the color, texture, as well as the pattern you prefer. Experts can help you design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Contrary to other construction materials concrete is extremely easy to maintain. It does not require regular maintenance services by a professional. You can get rid of stains, dirt, and dust using the most basic cleaning products.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

They are slabs constructed by pouring concrete onto site. We follow a procedure for making concrete at the site which guarantees us to provide significant results. Concrete installation gives us flexibility to make changes in the design of our surface. It also lets us modify the size of the project onsite if needed. Based on its strengths, it makes a perfect choice for projects made of concrete that are custom-designed.

If there's a negative to this plan, it's the time and expense. As we pour a concrete slab on the site we will need additional machinery and tools like the use of a concrete mixer or a bull floating. Additionally, we'll need extra workers to complete the job. Therefore, the cost of installation is much higher. Poured concrete slabs are also slow to cure. To cure concrete slab alone can take up to 21 days. It is not our intention to leave you with concrete that is still wet. We wait for the slabs ' to cure, so we can do one final quality inspection before handing over the work. If you're not ready to sit for that long this project is for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

According to the name, this slab type is precast. The slabs will be manufactured at a factory, and then shipped straight on to construction sites. Although you can customize the dimensions for the slab, making any adjustments and any last-minute adjustments on site is not possible. In contrast to slabs that are poured directly, precast costs less and is less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

The decorative concrete slabs are which are crafted with the color pattern or texture of your preference. We are also able to customize a design for your slabs, according to the design you like. This feature is only accessible if you choose our concrete slabs that are poured. In the absence of this, it can be difficult to create the design or style you'd like.
