What Is A Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to the most popular structural element made from cast concrete. A concrete slab can be described as a smooth horizontal concrete surface , which is often used as a floor or roofing. For durability and to ensure years of performance, contractors use an unwelded wire mesh or reinforcement steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

Furthermore, it is necessary to get an expert calculate to provide accurate measurements. A proper thickness will influence the structural integrity of the slab and the entire structure. The thickness of the slab will differ based on the structure. For instance, in residential flooring, four inches is the usual thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness for buildings with frequent heavy use.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs are a very popular construction material. For years, contractors have used it to construct various building structures. It's a standard choice in foundations and for other development projects. It is different from other construction materials because concrete is incredibly beneficial. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Longevity and durability

There's not a more durable construction material that concrete. If properly maintained and cared for, it could make concrete structures last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Good reinforcement also increases the durability and lifespan of concrete slabs. We can compress concrete to the point that there aren't any voids or porous areas in the slab of concrete. So, reducing the likelihood of cracking or other damage.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete has a very high thermal mass. This refers to its capacity to control the flow of thermal energy. Because of its high thermal mass, it can maintain indoor comfort and lessen and increase indoor temperatures by taking in natural heat. Materials that have high thermal mass are beneficial in areas with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages, such as its resistance to different elements. For instance, it is devoid of organic matter. It is therefore unable to get rotten or the rusting that is caused by heat. In addition, it has quite a strong compressive force, which ensures it will not crack when squeezed. There are also specific concrete treatment on concrete surfaces to give them a better resistance to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another attribute that makes cement the most sought-after is its versatility. Concrete is so flexible that it's possible to do lots of it. Employing various methods and applications that allow you to make a concrete slab with the texture, color, or pattern you would like. You can even have experts create it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Unlike other construction materials, concrete is simple to maintain. It doesn't require routine maintenance by a professional. You are able to easily get rid of stains, dirt, and dust using a few basic cleaning supplies.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

A concrete slab that has been poured is slabs that are made by pouring concrete directly on the ground. We follow a method for making concrete at the site, which allows us to guarantee significant outcomes. Pouring concrete gives us the opportunity to make last-minute adjustments in the design of the surface. Also, it allows us to modify the size of the project in the field if necessary. With its features, it's an ideal choice for custom concrete projects.

If there's any downside to this plan, it's time and cost. Because we will pour a concrete slab on the spot the site, we require more equipment and tools, for example, an electric mixer for concrete as well as a bull floating. Additionally, we'll require an additional workforce to do the job. Thus, the expense of installing is higher. Concrete slabs poured with a pour are costly to install. The process of curing concrete slabs on their own could take up to 21 calendar days. We do not leave you with concrete that is still wet. We wait for the slabs to dry so that we can do an inspection to ensure the quality before turning over the work. If you're not willing to sit for that long it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name says it all, the slabs of this kind are precast. The slabs are created in a plant and shipped directly over to the job site. Even though you can modify the dimensions for the slab, making any adjustments and quick changes on-site is impossible. Like the slabs you pour directly that are precast, it costs less and is also less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs for decorative purposes are of concrete that have the color, design or design of your choice. We can also create a style for your slabs according to your personal preferences. This service is available only should you select our concrete slabs poured service. In the absence of this, it can be impossible to achieve the look or design you'd like.
