What is a Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to the most popular structural element made out of cast concrete. A concrete slab can be described as a smooth horizontal concrete slab, commonly used for flooring or a roof. To ensure long-term durability and years of service, contractors include welded wire mesh or reinforcing steel bars to a reinforced concrete slab.

However, it is vital for an expert to calculate and make the correct measurements. The proper thickness of the slab will impact the strength of the slab as well the entire structure. The thickness of the slab will differ based on the particular project. For example, in residential floor construction 4 inches is the most common thickness. Experts recommend five to six inches of thickness for structures with heavy loads frequently.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

Concrete slabs are one of the most popular construction materials. For a long time, contractors used it to build various construction structures. Concrete is the most popular choice for foundations , as well as other development projects. Like other construction materials concrete has so many advantages. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Durability and long-term durability

There's no more durable construction material than concrete. The proper care and maintenance can ensure that concrete structures last for many years. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. The proper reinforcement can increase the life and strength of concrete slabs. We can compact concrete so that there aren't no voids or porous zones in this concrete slab. So, reducing the likelihood of cracking and other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a large thermal mass, which relates to its ability to control the flow of thermal energy. Because of its high thermal mass, it is able to regulate indoor comfort and reduce or increase indoor temperatures through absorbing natural heat. Materials with large thermal mass can be beneficial for areas that have extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, including its resistance to many different elements. In addition, it lacks of organic material. Therefore, it cannot degrade because of rotting or corrosion due to heat. In addition, it has the highest compressive strength that ensures it will not crack when squeezed. There are also specific concrete treatment on concrete surfaces to increase their resistance to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another feature that makes concrete the most sought-after is its versatility. The material is so flexible you can create a variety of it. By using a variety methods and tools one can build concrete slabs in the color, texture, and pattern that you want. You can even have experts create it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

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

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Formed concrete slabs can be described as created by pouring a concrete slab on the site. There is a method we use for setting up concrete on site to ensure we get significant outcomes. The process of pouring concrete allows us the freedom to make last-minute changes to the layout of the surface. Also, it allows us to alter the dimensions of the work on the spot if necessary. Due to its characteristics, it's a fantastic choice for concrete projects that can be customized.

If there's one downside to this, it would be the time and expense. Since we'll be pouring concrete slab on the spot, we need more tools and equipment, such as the use of a concrete mixer or a bull float. Also, we will require more workers for the work. Also, the installation price is more expensive. Concrete slabs poured with a pour are costly to install. A concrete slab that is cured on its own takes about 21 days. The slabs are not left with wet concrete. We let the slabs to dry so that we can do an assessment of quality prior to turning over the project. If you're not ready to wait that long, it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name implies that the slabs are precast. These slabs are constructed in a facility before being shipped straight onto the site of construction. Though you can alter the dimensions for the slab, making any adjustments and quick changes on-site is impossible. Contrary to the slabs poured directly, precast costs less and takes less time to complete.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs with decorative design are which are crafted with the color design or the texture you prefer. We are also able to customize a design for your slabs according to your personal preferences. This application is available only in the event that you opt for our concrete slabs poured service. In the absence of this, it can be challenging to achieve the design or design you'd like.
