What is A Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab is a well-known structural element constructed from cast concrete. It is a flat horizontal concrete slab, commonly used as a floor and as a roof. To ensure durability and years of efficiency, contractors will add an unwelded wire mesh or reinforcement steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

Meanwhile, it is essential to hire an expert calculation and supply accurate measurements. A properly measured thickness will influence the structural integrity of the slab as well the entire structure. The slab's thickness can vary depending upon the specific project. For example, for residential flooring 4 inches is a standard thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness for structures which are subject to frequent heavy loads.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

A concrete slab is an extremely popular construction material. Over the years, builders have employed it for the construction of various construction structures. Concrete is the most popular choice for foundations , as well as other development projects. Different from other construction materials concrete is extremely beneficial. Its advantages include:

 

Durability and Longevity

There may not be a more robust construction material than concrete. When properly cared for and maintained, it can allow concrete structures to last for a long time. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Reinforcements that are properly done can also extend the life span and strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that we do not have many voids, or porous spaces within this concrete slab. So, we can reduce the risk of cracking and other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a large thermal mass, which refers to its capacity to regulate the flow and distribution of thermal energy. Because of its large thermal mass, it has the ability to maintain indoor comfort and lessen or boost indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials that have high thermal mass are beneficial to those who live in areas of extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages, including its resistance to many different elements. Its main advantage is its absence of organic material. This means it won't get rotten or corrosion due to heat. It also has an impressive compressive strength, which implies it will not break when squeezed. We also can apply concrete treatment on concrete surfaces to make them more resistant to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another factor that makes concrete extremely popular is its versatility. Concrete is so versatile that you can create a variety of it. Through a variety or methods the possibility of creating concrete slabs that have the color, texture and pattern of your preference. It is possible to have experts design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Contrary to other construction materials concrete is incredibly simple to maintain. Concrete does not require frequent maintenance services by a professional. It is easy to get rid of stains, dirt, and dust with the help of basic cleaning products.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Formed concrete slabs can be described as slabs formed by pouring cement on the spot. We follow a particular procedure for placing concrete on the ground which guarantees us to provide significant outcomes. Pouring concrete gives us possibility of making last-minute modifications in the design of the surface. Also, it allows us to adjust the size of the project at the site, if required. Because of its capabilities, it's an excellent choice for customized concrete projects.

If there's any downside to this, it would be time and cost. Since we'll pour a concrete slab on the spot and require additional instruments and equipment, for instance, the use of a concrete mixer or a bull floating. There will also be a need for an additional workforce to do the job. Thus, the installation cost is more expensive. Concrete slabs poured in a concrete mix are time-consuming. In the process of cured concrete slabs, it is a process that can take up to 21 working days. We don't leave with concrete that is wet. We let concrete slabs to cure so we can do one final quality inspection before handing over the work. If you're not ready to be patient, we'd recommend this for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name says it all, this type of slab is precast. The slabs are manufactured in a plant and shipped directly towards the location of the project. Even though you can modify the size or thickness of the slabs however making adjustments and necessary changes at the last minute is not possible. As opposed to the slabs that are directly poured the precast slab is less expensive and is less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs with decorative design are of concrete that have the color, pattern, or style you would like. We are also able to customize a pattern for your slabs according to the design you like. This feature is only available in the event that you opt for our slabs made of concrete. If not, it's difficult to create the design or style you'd like.
