What is a Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to an essential structural element composed from cast concrete. It's an even vertical concrete surface typically utilized as a floor or roofing. For long-lasting and durable in performance, contractors incorporate an welded wire mesh or steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

However, it is vital that you have an expert calculate to provide accurate measurements. In the end, the proper thickness will impact the strength of the slab as well as the whole structure. The slab's size varies depending on the project. For instance, in residential floor construction, 4 inches is a standard thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches for buildings that have heavy load loads regularly.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

A concrete slab is a very popular construction material. For years, contractors employed it to build a variety of building structures. It is a preferred choice in foundations and for other development projects. In contrast to other building materials, concrete is incredibly beneficial. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Longevity and durability

There's probably no more sturdy construction material than concrete. Care and maintenance can allow concrete structures to last for many years. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Good reinforcement also increases the lifespan and robustness of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted so that we do not have any voids or areas of porous material within the slab of concrete. Thus, reducing the probability of cracks or other damages.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete has a high thermal mass, which refers to its ability to regulate the flow of heat energy. Because of its large thermal mass improve indoor comfort, and also reduce or boost indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials that have large thermal mass can be beneficial in areas that experience extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete offers many advantages, for example, its resistance to different elements. One of them is the absence of organic matter. Thus, it will not fall apart due to rotting nor the formation of rust due to excessive heat. Furthermore, it has a high compressive strength, which ensures it will not crack when squeezed. We also can apply concrete treatments on concrete surfaces that make them more resilient to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another characteristic that makes concrete the most sought-after is its versatility. Concrete is very flexible and you can create a variety of it. By employing different methods and application that allow you to make a concrete slab that is the texture, color, and pattern of your preference. There are experts who can customize it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

In contrast to other construction materials concrete is very easy to maintain. It doesn't require frequent upkeep by a professional. You can easily get rid of stains, dirt, and dust by using basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

In the case of Poured Concrete, they are that are made by pouring concrete directly on the site. The process we follow is pouring concrete onto the surface which guarantees us to provide significant results. Concrete is poured gives us the ability to make last-minute changes in the design of the surface. It also allows us to modify the size of the project on site if it is required. Its advantages mean that it's an ideal choice to build concrete projects with a custom design.

If there is a downside to this, it would be the time and expense. Since we'll have to pour a concrete slab to the location the site, we require more tools and equipment, like mixing concrete and a bull floating. Additionally, we'll need more workers for the job. Therefore, the cost of installation is more expensive. Concrete slabs poured with a pour are costly to install. In the process of cured concrete slabs, it takes about 21 days. Our goal is to not leave you with wet concrete. We wait for the slabs to set so we can do an inspection to ensure the quality before turning over the work. If you're not prepared to wait for that long then this option is ideal for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

According to the name, this slab type is precast. They are manufactured at a factory, and then shipped straight to the construction site. While you are able to customize the size and shape of your slabs, making changes or late-night changes on site isn't feasible. Different from the ones that are poured directly, precast costs less and takes less time to complete.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

decorative concrete slabs are slabs made with the color, pattern or style you would like. You can also design a pattern to your slabs based on your preference. This application is available only when you select our slabs made of concrete. In the absence of this, it can be difficult to create the design or look you're after.
