What is Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to a popular structural element made out of cast concrete. It's an even, horizontal concrete slab, commonly used for floors or for a roof. To ensure long-term durability and years in performance, contractors incorporate reinforced steel bars to a concrete slab that has been reinforced.

While it's also important to get an expert calculate and provide the right measurements. In the end, the proper thickness will have an impact on the integrity of your slab as well the entire structure. The slab's thickness can vary depending on the project. For example, for residential floor construction 4 inches is the most common thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness to build carrying heavy loads often.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs are one of the most sought-after construction materials. For many years, contractors have used it to create various building structures. It's a standard choice for foundations as well as other development projects. It is different from other construction materials because concrete has many advantages. Its advantages include:

 

Durability and Longevity

There's probably not a more durable construction material than concrete. When properly cared for and maintained, it makes concrete structures last for many years. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. The proper reinforcement can increase its lifespan and increase the strength of concrete slabs. We can compact concrete so that we do not have gaps or pores within the concrete slab. Thus, reducing the probability of cracking or other damage.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete is known for its high thermal mass, which relates to its ability to regulate the flow of thermal energy. Because of its thermal mass, concrete can manage indoor comfort and lower or increase indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials with high thermal mass are useful in places with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, such as its resistance to different elements. In addition, it lacks of organic material. Therefore, it does not change its shape due to rotting and the rusting that is caused by heat. In addition, it has an extremely high compressive strength that means it isn't likely to break when squeezed. It's also possible to apply specific concrete treatments to concrete surfaces to increase their resistance to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another thing that makes concrete famous is its flexibility. Concrete is a material that is flexible enough that it's possible to make a lot of it. Through a variety or methods the possibility of creating a concrete slab that is the texture, color, and pattern of your preference. The experts can custom design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Contrary to other construction materials concrete is extremely easy to maintain. It does not require regular maintenance maintenance from a professional. You can easily rid yourself of stains, dirt, and dust with basic cleaning supplies.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Poured concrete slabs are slabs formed by pouring cement on the spot. There is a method we use for placing concrete on the spot and ensuring that we achieve significant outcomes. Concrete installation gives us flexibility to make any last-minute adjustments in the design of the surface. It also permits us to alter the dimensions of the work on the spot if required. Due to its advantages, it's a good choice for custom concrete projects.

If there's any downside to this plan, it's time and cost. Since we'll have to pour a concrete slab over the site, we need more machinery and tools like the concrete mixer and bull floating. We'll also need an additional workforce to do the work. Thus, the installation cost is much higher. Poured concrete slabs are time-consuming. In the process of cured concrete slabs, it can take as long as 21 days. We do not leave with concrete that is still wet. We let the slabs ' curing time so we can perform some quality checks before turning over the work. If you're unable to put off waiting that long, this project is for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

As the name suggests, the slabs are precast. The slabs will be manufactured in a plant and shipped straight onto the site of construction. Though you can alter the size for the slab, making any adjustments or late-night changes on site isn't feasible. The slabs are not poured directly Precast is cheaper and is also less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

decorative concrete slabs are slabs constructed with the color, pattern, or texture of your preference. We are also able to customize a design for your slabs according to your preferences. This service is only available on the basis of our poured concrete slab services. If not, it's challenging to achieve the design or style you'd like.
