What Is A Concrete Slab?

A concrete slab refers to an important structural element that is made out of cast concrete. The slab is flat horizontal concrete surface commonly used for flooring or roofing. To ensure durability and years of performance, contractors can add an unwelded wire mesh or reinforcement steel bars to the concrete slab they have reinforced.

However, it is vital to have an expert calculate and present accurate measurements. Having the right thickness will have an impact on the integrity of your slab as well as the overall structure. The slab's thickness is dependent on the project. For example, in residential flooring 4 inches is the recommended thickness. Experts recommend five to six inches of thickness in buildings that have heavy load loads regularly.

 

Benefits of Using Concrete Slab

Concrete slabs are an extremely well-known construction material. Over the years, builders have utilized it to construct various construction structures. It is a popular choice when it comes to foundations as well as development projects. As opposed to other building materials concrete is an excellent choice. Its benefits include:

 

Durability and long-term durability

There may not be a more durable construction material than concrete. If properly maintained and cared for, it could make concrete structures last for decades. Some concrete structures can even last a lifetime. Reinforcements that are properly done can also extend the life and strength of concrete slabs. We can compress concrete in such a way that we do not have any pores or voids within the slab of concrete. This reduces the risk for cracks as well as other damages.

 

Excellent Thermal Mass

Concrete has a significant thermal mass, which relates to its ability to control the flow energy. Because of its large thermal mass adjust indoor comfort levels and reduce or increase temperatures in the indoor space by taking in natural heat. Materials with the highest thermal mass will be useful especially in regions with extreme day and night temperatures.

 

Resistance

Concrete has many advantages, like its resistance different elements. The most notable is the lack of organic material. So, it doesn't change its shape due to rotting and the rusting that is caused by heat. It also has a relatively high compressive strength, which implies it will not break when squeezed. We can also apply specific concrete treatment on concrete surfaces so that they are more resistant to chemical staining and spills.

 

Flexibility

Another aspect that makes concrete famous is its flexibility. Concrete is so versatile that it's possible to make a lot of it. With a variety of techniques and applications that allow you to make an attractive concrete slab using the color, texture, or pattern you would like. You can even have experts create it, too.

 

Low Maintenance

Unlike other construction materials, concrete is very simple to maintain. Concrete doesn't require regular maintenance by a professional. You can get rid of dirt, stains as well as dust, using standard cleaning supplies.

  

Poured Concrete Slab

In the case of Poured Concrete, they are created by pouring concrete on the spot. We follow a procedure for placing concrete on the ground to ensure we get significant outcomes. Pouring concrete gives us flexibility to make changes in the design of our surface. It also allows us to alter the dimensions of the job on site if required. Due to its advantages, it makes a perfect choice for concrete projects that can be customized.

If there's a negative to this, it would be the time and expense. Since we'll have to pour a concrete slab on site there is a need for more tools and equipment, such as one concrete mixer, and a bull float. We'll also need more people to do the job. Thus, the installation cost is higher. Poured concrete slabs can be lengthy. For the concrete slab to cure, it takes about 21 days. We do not leave with concrete that is still wet. We let the slabs ' cure time to pass so we can perform an inspection before turning over the project. If you're willing to endure that much time, then this option is ideal for you.

 

Precast Concrete Slab

Like the name implies, this slab type is precast. The slabs are manufactured in a plant and shipped directly towards the location of the project. Although you can customize the dimensions in the slab, making adjustments and quick changes on-site is impossible. Instead of being poured directly they are less costly and takes less time.

 

Decorative Concrete Slab

These are concrete slabs constructed with the color, pattern or texture of your choice. You can also design a design for your slabs at the discretion of your taste. This is only possible if you choose our concrete slab poured services. In the absence of this, it can be very difficult to design or look you're looking for.
