What is a concrete slab?

A concrete slab is an essential structural element composed from cast concrete. It's flat horizontal concrete slab, commonly used for floors or for a roof. To ensure the durability and longevity of performance, contractors use reinforcement steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

It is also essential to hire an expert calculation and make the correct measurements. A proper thickness will impact the integrity of the slab and the entire structure. The thickness of the slab varies based on the building. For example, in residential floor construction, 4 inches is the recommended thickness. Experts recommend five to six inches of thickness when building that are regularly subject to heavy loads.

 

The advantages of using concrete slabs

A concrete slab is an extremely popular construction material. For years, contractors employed it to construct a variety of construction structures. It is a common choice for foundations and other development projects. As opposed to other building materials concrete is extremely beneficial. Concrete's advantages include:

 

Durability and Longevity

There's not a more robust construction material than concrete. With proper care and maintenance, you can ensure that concrete structures last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. The proper reinforcement can increase the life and strength of concrete slabs. Concrete can be compacted to ensure that we do not have no voids or porous zones in this concrete slab. Thus, reducing the risk of cracking or other damage.

 

Fantastic Thermal Mass

Concrete is known for its high thermal mass, which relates to its capacity to manage the flow of energy. Because of its large thermal mass, it's able to regulate comfort in the indoor environment and reduce or boost indoor temperatures by absorption of natural heat. Materials with great thermal mass are beneficial to those who live in areas of extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete is a material with many advantages, such as its resistance to various elements. One of them is the absence of organic material. Therefore, it does not degrade because of rotting or the formation of rust due to excessive heat. Additionally, it has the highest compressive strength, which is why it doesn't break when squeezed. We can also apply concrete treatments to concrete surfaces to increase their resistance to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another attribute that makes cement popular is its flexibility. Concrete is so versatile that you can do a lot of it. Using different methods and applications, you can create concrete slabs with the color, texture and pattern that you want. Experts can help you design it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

In contrast to other materials for construction, concrete is very simple to maintain. Concrete does not require frequent cleaning by a professional. You can easily get rid of stains, dirt, as well as dust, using standard cleaning products.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs that are poured slabs created by pouring concrete on the ground. We follow a particular procedure for setting up concrete on site, which allows us to guarantee significant outcomes. Pouring concrete gives us flexibility to make last-minute tweaks to the design of the surface. Also, it allows us to adjust the size of the project on site if necessary. Based on its strengths, it's a good choice to build concrete projects with a custom design.

If there's a downside to this, it's time and cost. Because we are pouring a concrete slab on site we will need additional tools and equipment like an electric mixer for concrete as well as a bull floating. Additionally, we'll need additional workers to finish the job. Also, the installation price is higher. Concrete slabs with poured concrete are costly to install. In the process of cured concrete slabs, it can take up to 21 days. We do not leave with concrete that is still wet. We let the slabs to dry so that we can conduct checks on the quality of the concrete before handing over the work. If you're not prepared to wait for that long we'd recommend this for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

The name says it all, the slabs of this kind are precast. The slabs can be made in a factory and delivered directly into the building site. While you are able to customize the size in the slab, making adjustments or last-minute changes onsite is impossible. As opposed to the slabs that are directly poured it is more affordable and is less time-consuming.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

decorative concrete slabs are slabs that are made using the color, design or texture of your preference. We are also able to customize a design for your slabs according to the design you like. This option is only available If you opt for our slabs made of concrete. Otherwise, it's difficult to create the design or style you desire.
