What is Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab is a structural feature that is commonly made from cast concrete. It's flat, horizontal concrete surface which is typically used as a flooring or roofing. To ensure longevity and years of performance, contractors can add steel mesh wire or steel bars to a reinforced concrete slab.

While it's also important to get an expert calculate and give accurate measurements. A properly measured thickness will alter the strength of slab as well as the overall structure. The slab's thickness can vary depending on the design. For example, in residential flooring 4 inches is the typical thickness. Experts recommend 5 to 6 inches of thickness for construction which are subject to frequent heavy loads.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs are a popular construction material. For years, contractors constructed a variety of construction structures. It's a standard choice for foundations and other development projects. Unlike other construction materials, concrete is an excellent choice. Its benefits include:

 

Durability and Longevity

There's probably no more robust construction material than concrete. When properly cared for and maintained, it can make concrete structures last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Good reinforcement also increases its lifespan and increase the strength of concrete slabs. We can make concrete compact so that we do not have any pores or voids in the concrete slab. This reduces the risk of cracking and other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a substantial thermal mass. It refers to its capacity to regulate the flow of energy. Because of its high thermal mass, it's capable of helping help regulate indoor comfort as well as reduce or increase indoor temperatures through absorption of natural heat. Materials that have high thermal mass are helpful for areas that have extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages, including its resistance to many different elements. The most notable is the lack of organic material. Thus, it will not decay due to rotting or the rusting that is caused by heat. It also has an impressive compressive strength, which means it isn't likely to break when squeezed. You can also apply concrete treatments on concrete surfaces to make them more resistant to chemical spills and stains.

 

Flexibility

Another aspect that makes concrete popular is its versatility. Concrete is a material that is flexible enough that it is possible to do a lot of it. Using different methods and applications for creating concrete slabs in the texture, color, as well as the pattern you prefer. You can have experts custom-design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

In contrast to other materials for construction, concrete is easy to maintain. It does not need regular maintenance care by a pro. You can easily get rid of stains, dirt, and dust using a few basic cleaning products.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Poured concrete slabs are made by pouring the concrete on the site. We follow a particular procedure for pouring concrete onto the surface which ensures that we can deliver substantial outcomes. When we pour concrete, we have the ability to make last-minute changes to the look of the surface. Additionally, we can alter the dimensions of the project at the site, if it is required. Its advantages mean that it's a fantastic choice to build concrete projects with a custom design.

If there's any downside to this, it would be time and cost. Since we pour a concrete slab on the site and require additional machinery and tools like an electric mixer for concrete as well as a bull floating. Additionally, we'll need more people to do the job. Therefore, the cost of installation is more expensive. Concrete slabs with poured concrete are laborious. For a concrete slab to cure on its own, it takes about 21 days. The slabs are not left with concrete that is wet. We wait for the slabs to cure so we can perform some quality checks before turning over the project. If you're unwilling to be patient, then this project isn't for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

As the name suggests, this type of slab is precast. They are manufactured in a factory before being delivered directly at the place of work. Though you can alter the size and shape of your slabs, making changes or late-night changes on site isn't feasible. Like the slabs you pour directly it is more affordable and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

These are concrete slabs that are made using the color, design or texture of your choice. You can also design a pattern for your slabs according to the design you like. This application is available only when you use our concrete slabs that are poured. In other cases, it could be challenging to achieve the design or look you're looking for.
