Commercial Concrete Slabs

Moisture control during site prep work remains one of the most daunting barriers in modern construction. Instead of opting for crawl spaces and basements, an increasing number of businesses are instead opting for solid concrete slabs for floors, decks, and other flat surfaces. With proper planning and control measures, concrete slabs will outlive cheaper composite materials that are prone to cracking and moisture permeation. 

Concrete slabs are also ideal for larger warehouses, apartment buildings, schools and commercial projects that need a simple and consistent framework to build heavy walls upon. Measuring several inches thick, heavy concrete slabs provide the perfect framework for larger buildings that require heavy steel columns. Concrete slabs are also easier and quicker to pour, which means you can quickly move onto the next phase of construction with no interference from leftover cleanup or touchup work. Slabs continue to be the best defense against pesky home intruders, such as burrowing insects and smaller critters. In its simplest form, concrete slabs are easy-to-lay foundations that remain the most effective-option in designing floors and structural support systems. With the average cost of wood and steel reaching unprecedented heights, concrete remains the most efficient and cost-effective building material.
