What Is A Concrete Slab?

Concrete slabs are a well-known structural element constructed out of cast concrete. The slab is flat horizontal concrete slab, commonly used as a flooring or roofing. To ensure long-lasting durability and years in performance, contractors incorporate reinforcement steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

However, it is vital to hire an expert calculation and give accurate measurements. The correct thickness will alter the strength of slab as well as the structure. The slab's thickness differs based on the project. For example, for residential flooring 4 inches is a standard thickness. Experts suggest five to six inches for buildings with frequent heavy use.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

A concrete slab is an extremely popular construction material. Over the years, builders have used it to build various building structures. It is an extremely popular option when it comes to foundations as well as development projects. In contrast to other building materials, concrete is incredibly beneficial. Its benefits include:

 

Longevity and durability

There's probably no more durable construction material than concrete. Maintenance and proper care makes concrete structures last for many years. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Reinforcements that are properly done can also extend its lifespan and increase the strength of concrete slabs. We can make concrete compact so that we do not have gaps or pores in the concrete slab. Therefore, it reduces the chance of cracking and other damages.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete has a very high thermal mass. It refers to its ability to control the flow of thermal energy. Because of its thermal mass it can control indoor comfort and decrease or raise indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials that have significant thermal mass are ideal for areas that have extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has numerous advantages, for example, its resistance to different elements. In addition, it lacks of organic matter. Therefore, it does not change its shape due to rotting and the burning of metals caused by excessive heat. It also has quite a strong compressive force that means it isn't likely to break when squeezed. It's also possible to apply specific concrete treatments to concrete surfaces so that they are more resistant to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another reason concrete is popular is its versatility. The material is so flexible it's possible to do lots of it. Using different methods and applications for creating an attractive concrete slab using the texture, color, and design that you prefer. Experts can design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

In contrast to other construction materials concrete is easy to maintain. Concrete doesn't require regular maintenance by a professional. You can effortlessly get rid of dirt, stains and dust using the most basic cleaning products.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs that are poured made by pouring concrete on site. There is a method we use for installing concrete on site, ensuring we deliver significant results. Concrete installation gives us freedom to make last-minute changes to the appearance of the surface. It also lets us alter the dimensions of the project onsite if needed. With its features, it is a great choice for customized concrete projects.

If there's a negative to this, it's time and cost. As we pour a concrete slab onto the site the site, we require more equipment and tools, such as the concrete mixer and bull float. There will also be a need for more workers to complete the job. Thus, the installation cost is higher. Concrete slabs poured in a concrete mix are time-consuming. A concrete slab that is cured on its own can take up to 21 days. We don't leave with concrete that is still wet. We wait for the slabs to cure so we can perform some quality checks before turning over the project. If you're not willing to wait for that long we'd recommend this for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name says it all, this kind of slab is precast. They are manufactured at a factory and are then shipped directly over to the job site. However, you can tailor the size of the slab, making adjustments and any last-minute adjustments on site is not possible. Instead of being poured directly as precasts, precast costs less and requires less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Decorative concrete slabs are slabs which are crafted with the color pattern, or pattern of your choice. We also can customize a style for your slabs according to the design you like. This feature is only accessible on the basis of our poured concrete slab services. If not, it's difficult to create the design or style that you prefer.
