What is Concrete Slab?

Concrete slabs are an important structural element that is made from cast concrete. This is an elongated horizontal concrete surface which is typically used for floors or a roof. For durability and to ensure years of performance, contractors add reinforcement steel bars to a reinforced concrete slab.

While it's also important that you have an expert calculate to provide accurate measurements. The proper thickness of the slab will affect the quality of the slab and also the overall structure. The slab's thickness is dependent on the project. For example, in residential floor construction 4 inches is the most common thickness. Experts recommend five to six inches of thickness in buildings that carry heavy loads regularly.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

Concrete slabs are an extremely sought-after construction material. For decades, contractors have employed it to build a variety of building structures. It's a standard choice for foundations and other development projects. As opposed to other materials for construction, concrete is an excellent choice. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Durability and long-term durability

There is no more durable construction material that concrete. Care and maintenance could make concrete structures last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. A proper reinforcement will also increase the lifespan and robustness of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that we do not have gaps or pores within the slab of concrete. Thus, reducing the risk of cracks, and other damage.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete has a very high thermal mass, which refers to its ability to control the flow of thermal energy. Because of its high thermal mass it can manage indoor comfort and lower or increase indoor temperatures by absorbing natural heat. Materials that have high thermal mass are beneficial to those who live in areas of extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages in particular its resistance to different elements. This includes its absence of organic material. It therefore does not become degraded due to rotting or corrosion due to heat. Additionally, it has a relatively high compressive strength, which means it will not fracture when squeezed. You can also apply concrete treatments to concrete surfaces to make them more resistant to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another reason concrete is well-known is its flexibility. It is so adaptable that it's possible to do lots of it. By using a variety methods and tools one can build a concrete slab that is the texture, color, and design you prefer. You can also have experts customize it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

In contrast to other materials for construction, concrete is very simple to maintain. It doesn't require frequent maintenance from a professional. You are able to easily get rid of dirt, stains and dust using a few basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Poured concrete slabs are slabs constructed by pouring concrete onto site. There is a method we use for installing concrete on site in order to deliver impressive results. Pouring concrete gives us opportunity to make last-minute adjustments on the design and layout of the surface. Additionally, we can adjust the size of the project at the site, if necessary. Given its qualities, it's a good choice for customized concrete projects.

If there's a drawback to this, it would be time and cost. Because we are pouring a concrete slab on the ground there is a need for more tools and equipment, like cement mixers and a bull floating. Also, we will require more people to do the job. Therefore, the cost of installation is much more expensive. Concrete slabs with poured concrete are lengthy. To cure concrete slabs alone is a process that can take up to 21 working days. We will not leave you with concrete that is still wet. We let the slabs to cure so we can perform some quality checks before turning over the project. If you're not ready to wait for that long this project is for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

Like the name implies, this slab type is precast. The slabs can be made at a factory and are then shipped straight for the build site. While you are able to customize the size and shape of your slabs, making changes and late-night changes on site isn't feasible. Unlike the ones poured directly as precasts, precast costs less and is less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs with decorative designs are that are made using the color, design, or style you would like. We also can customize a pattern to your slabs in accordance with your preference. This is only possible if you choose our slabs made of concrete. Otherwise, it's difficult to create the style or style you'd like to achieve.
