What Is A Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab is the most popular structural element made of concrete cast. It's flat horizontal concrete slab, commonly used for floors or roofing. To ensure longevity and years of operation, contractors install steel mesh wire or steel bars to a concrete slab that has been reinforced.

While it's also important to have an expert calculate and provide the right measurements. A proper thickness will influence the structural integrity of the slab and the entire structure. The slab's thickness can vary depending on the design. For instance, in the case of residential flooring 4 inches is the typical thickness. Experts recommend five to six inches of thickness on buildings that carry heavy loads regularly.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

A concrete slab is one of the most popular construction materials. For a long time, contractors constructed a variety of building structures. It's a typical choice to build foundations and other projects. Contrary to other construction materials, concrete has the advantage of being durable. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Durability and long-term durability

There is no more durable construction material than concrete. A proper maintenance and care can ensure that concrete structures last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Proper reinforcement can also prolong the durability and lifespan of concrete slabs. We can make concrete compact so that we do not have any voids or porous areas within this concrete slab. Therefore, it reduces the chance of cracking and other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete is known for its high thermal mass, which refers to its capacity to regulate the flow of thermal energy. Due to its thermal mass it can control indoor comfort and decrease or increase indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials that have high thermal mass are helpful when you live in extreme temperatures. and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, among them its resistance various elements. The most notable is the lack of organic material. It is therefore unable to change its shape due to rotting and an excessive amount of heat that causes rust. It also has a relatively high compressive strength that means that it won't break when squeezed. It's also possible to apply specific concrete treatments to concrete surfaces to give them a better resistance to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another factor that makes concrete popular is its flexibility. Concrete is so flexible that you can make a lot of it. With a variety of techniques and applications the possibility of creating a concrete slab that is the texture, color and pattern you like. It is possible to have experts design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

As opposed to other construction materials concrete is extremely simple to maintain. It does not need regular maintenance by a professional. You can easily get rid of stains, dirt, and dust by using common cleaning supplies.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

These are slabs formed by pouring cement on the spot. The process we follow is creating concrete on the location which guarantees us to provide significant outcomes. Pouring concrete gives us flexibility to make any last-minute adjustments to the design of the surface. Additionally, we can adjust the size of the construction site when necessary. Given its qualities, it is a great choice for custom concrete construction projects.

If there's an issue to this, it would be the time and expense. Since we'll be pouring concrete slab on the ground and require additional machinery and tools like cement mixers and a bull floating. Additionally, we'll need an additional workforce to do the work. Therefore, the cost for installation is higher. Concrete slabs that are poured are very time-consuming. Curing concrete slabs by itself could take up to 21 calendar days. Our goal is to not leave you with concrete that is still wet. We allow the slabs ' curing time so we can do an inspection of the quality before handing over the project. If you're not ready to endure that much time, it's not for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name says it all, the slabs of this kind are precast. The slabs are produced in a factory before being delivered straight at the place of work. Although you can customize the size of the slab, making adjustments and necessary changes at the last minute is not possible. Like the slabs you pour directly that are precast, it costs less and is also less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

decorative concrete slabs are slabs built with the color design, or the texture you prefer. We also can customize a design for your slabs depending on your preference. This application is available only on the basis of our concrete slabs that are poured. Otherwise, it will be difficult to create the style or style you'd like.
