What is a Concrete Slab?

Concrete slabs are an essential structural element composed of concrete cast. This is an elongated horizontal concrete slab that is employed as a floor or for a roof. To ensure durability and years of performance, contractors use an welded wire mesh or steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

Meanwhile, it is essential that you have an expert calculate and provide the right measurements. In the end, the proper thickness will affect the quality of the slab and the whole structure. The slab's thickness varies depending on the building. For instance, in the case of residential floor construction, 4 inches is the most common thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness to build which are subject to frequent heavy loads.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

A concrete slab is one of the most popular construction materials. For a long time, contractors constructed a variety of building structures. It is a preferred choice for foundations , as well as other development projects. As opposed to other materials for construction, concrete has many advantages. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Durability and long-term durability

There's probably no more sturdy construction material than concrete. A proper maintenance and care can ensure that concrete structures last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. A proper reinforcement will also increase the life of and the strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted in a way that we do not have no voids or porous zones in this concrete slab. Therefore, it reduces the chance of cracking and other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a very high thermal mass. It refers to its capacity to regulate the flow and distribution of thermal energy. Due to its thermal mass, concrete can regulate indoor comfort and reduce or increase the temperature of indoor spaces by taking in natural heat. Materials with the highest thermal mass will be useful especially in regions with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has numerous advantages, which include its resistance to various elements. Of these is its lack of organic matter. Therefore, it is unable to suffer from rotting or the formation of rust due to excessive heat. Furthermore, it has an extremely high compressive strength, which means that it won't break when squeezed. We also can apply concrete treatments to concrete surfaces so that they are more resistant to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another attribute that makes cement popular is its versatility. It is so adaptable that it is possible to do a lot of it. Making use of different techniques and methods that allow you to make concrete slabs that have the color, texture, and design you prefer. Experts can design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

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

  

Poured Concrete Slab

In the case of Poured Concrete, they are slabs formed by pouring cement on the ground. The process we follow is pouring concrete onto the surface, ensuring we deliver significant outcomes. Pouring concrete gives us the possibility of making last-minute modifications in the design of the surface. It also allows us to modify the size of the project onsite if needed. Based on its strengths, it's a good choice to build concrete projects with a custom design.

If there's one downside to this, it's the time and expense. Because we are pouring a concrete slab to the location there is a need for more machinery and tools like an electric mixer for concrete as well as a bull floating. We'll also require more people to perform the job. Therefore, the cost for installation is higher. Concrete slabs that have been poured are time-consuming. For a concrete slab to cure on its own, it takes about 21 days. We do not leave with wet concrete. We allow the slabs to cure so we can conduct an assessment of quality prior to turning over the project. If you're not willing to put off waiting that long, we'd recommend this for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name says it all, this slab type is precast. The slabs can be made in a plant and shipped straight at the place of work. You can however customize the size of the slab, making adjustments and urgent changes on the job is impossible. Different from the ones that are poured directly Precast is cheaper and is also less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs for decorative purposes are that are made using the color, design, or texture you want. We can also customize a layout for your slabs depending on the style you prefer. This feature is only accessible on the basis of our concrete slabs poured service. Otherwise, it will be difficult to create the design or look you're after.
