What is A Concrete Slab?

Concrete slabs are a common structural component made of concrete cast. It is a flat horizontal concrete surface used for floors or for a roof. To ensure long-term durability and years in performance, contractors incorporate steel mesh wire or steel bars to a reinforced concrete slab.

Furthermore, it is necessary to hire an expert calculation and present accurate measurements. A proper thickness will have an impact on the integrity of your slab and the entire structure. The slab's thickness differs based on the construction. For example, for residential floor construction 4 inches is considered the ideal thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness for construction with heavy loads frequently.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

Concrete slabs are an extremely sought-after construction material. For years, contractors employed it to build a variety of construction structures. It is a preferred choice for foundations and other development projects. As opposed to other building materials concrete has the advantage of being durable. Its advantages are:

 

Longevity and Durability

There's probably not a more durable construction material that concrete. With proper care and maintenance, you can help concrete structures last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Proper reinforcement can also prolong its lifespan and increase the strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted in a way that we do not have no voids or porous zones in the slab of concrete. Thus, reducing the probability of cracking or other damage.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a significant thermal mass, which refers to its capacity to regulate the flow of energy. Because of its large thermal mass, it's able to maintain indoor comfort and lessen or increase indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials with the highest thermal mass will be useful for areas that have extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has numerous advantages, in particular its resistance to various elements. The most notable is the lack of organic material. This means it won't decay due to rotting or the burning of metals caused by excessive heat. Additionally, it has a relatively high compressive strength that is why it doesn't break when squeezed. It's also possible to apply specific concrete treatments to concrete surfaces that make them more resilient to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another reason concrete is popular is its flexibility. Concrete is so flexible that you can do a lot of it. Employing various methods and applications, you can create an concrete slab that has the texture, color and pattern that you want. Experts can help you design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

In contrast to other construction materials concrete is easy to maintain. It doesn't require frequent maintenance from a professional. You can quickly get rid of dirt, stains and dust using a few basic cleaning materials.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Poured concrete slabs are made by pouring concrete on the spot. We follow a method for making concrete at the site so that we can guarantee substantial results. When we pour concrete, we have the liberty to make last minute changes to the design of the surface. It also lets us modify the size of the project onsite if needed. Due to its characteristics, it's a fantastic choice for projects made of concrete that are custom-designed.

If there's a drawback to this, it would be time and cost. Since we pour a concrete slab on the ground and require additional instruments and equipment, for instance, the use of a concrete mixer or a bull float. We will also need more workers for the work. So, the price for installation is much higher. Concrete slabs poured with a pour are difficult to work with. The process of curing concrete slabs on their own can take up to 21 days. It is not our intention to leave you with concrete that is still wet. We wait for the slabs ' curing time so we can do one final quality inspection before handing over the work. If you're unwilling to wait that long then this is the one for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

As the name suggests, this slab type is precast. They are manufactured in a facility before being shipped straight at the place of work. While you are able to customize the dimensions to the slab, making adjustments and urgent changes on the job is impossible. Different from the ones that are poured directly as precasts, precast costs less and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

These are concrete slabs that are made using the color, design, or texture of your choice. They can also be customized with a design for your slabs, at the discretion of your taste. The application is only available if you choose our concrete slab services. In the absence of this, it can be difficult to attain the design or style you want.
