What Is A Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to a well-known structural element constructed of concrete cast. It's an even horizontal concrete surface used as a flooring or a roof. For durability and to ensure years of operation, contractors install an welded wire mesh or steel bars to a concrete slab that has been reinforced.

However, it is vital to employ an expert calculator and present accurate measurements. In the end, the proper thickness will have an impact on the integrity of your slab and the entire structure. The slab's thickness differs based on the design. For example, in residential floor construction 4 inches is the recommended thickness. Experts recommend five to six inches of thickness on buildings that have heavy load loads regularly.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

A concrete slab is one of the most sought-after construction materials. For a long time, contractors have employed it for the construction of various construction structures. It is a popular choice when it comes to foundations as well as development projects. As opposed to other building materials concrete is an excellent choice. Its advantages are:

 

Durability and Longevity

There may not be a more durable construction material than concrete. With proper care and maintenance, you can allow concrete structures to last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Proper reinforcement can also prolong the life span and strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted in a way that we do not have any voids or porous areas in the concrete slab. Thus, reducing the risk of cracks or other damages.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete is known for its high thermal mass. It refers to its ability to regulate the flow of energy. Due to its thermal mass, concrete can help regulate indoor comfort as well as reduce or increase indoor temperatures through absorbing natural heat. Materials with the highest thermal mass will be useful especially in regions with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages like its resistance different elements. Of these is its lack of organic matter. It is therefore unable to change its shape due to rotting and corrosion caused by high temperatures. In addition, it has quite a strong compressive force that ensures it will not crack when squeezed. We can also apply concrete treatments on concrete surfaces that make them more resilient to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another reason concrete is well-known is its flexibility. Concrete is so versatile that it is possible to do a lot of it. Utilizing a variety of methods and techniques you can make concrete slabs that have the texture, color, and pattern you like. The experts can custom design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Like other construction materials concrete is extremely easy to maintain. It does not require regular upkeep by a professional. You can get rid of stains, dirt, and dust using a few basic cleaning supplies.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Poured concrete slabs are slabs formed by pouring cement on the site. We follow a procedure for installing concrete on site so that we can guarantee substantial outcomes. Concrete pouring gives us the opportunity to make last-minute adjustments in the design of the surface. It also lets us modify the size of the project in the field if required. Thanks to its attributes, it's the perfect option for concrete projects that can be customized.

If there's a negative to this, it would be time and cost. Since we pour a concrete slab over the site it is necessary to have more tools and equipment like a concrete mixer and bull floating. Also, we will require more people to do the job. Thus, the expense of installing is more expensive. Concrete slabs that are poured are time-consuming. For a concrete slab to cure on its own, it lasts up to 21 days. It is not our intention to leave you with concrete that is wet. We wait for the slabs ' curing time so we can do an inspection of the quality before handing over the work. If you're not prepared to wait that long it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

As the name suggests, the slabs are precast. The slabs can be made in a facility before being shipped straight to the construction site. Even though you can modify the dimensions and shape of your slabs, making changes or last-minute changes onsite is impossible. Like the slabs you pour directly, precast costs less and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs for decorative purposes are constructed with the color, design, or style you would like. You can also design a design for your slabs, at the discretion of your taste. This feature is only accessible If you opt for our poured concrete slab services. If you don't, it's difficult to create the style or style that you prefer.
