Concrete Slabs Gold Coast - Specialist

A concrete slab is a layer of concrete used to create a level surface. It can be used for indoor and outdoor applications, such as patios, driveways, and walkways. Slabs are typically 4 inches thick but can range from 2-6 inches depending on the project requirements.
They are typically made from a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates, such as sand or gravel. The ratio of these materials will vary depending on the desired strength and durability of the finished product. Concrete slabs are often used in construction projects because they provide a strong foundation.

1. Excavate the area to the desired depth.
2. Install timber formwork around the perimeter.
3. Place reinforcement mesh inside the excavation, ensuring that it is level.
4. Make the concrete mix,i.e. a mixture of cement, sand and gravel, and pour it.
5. Use a trowel to level off the surface of the concrete, then smooth it down with a float.
6. Allow the concrete to cure for 24 hours before removing the formwork.
7. Fill any gaps around the slab’s perimeter with concrete.
8. Use a trowel to finish off the slab’s edges and allow it to cure for a further 48 hours.

Before you go ahead and install a concrete slab, there are a few things you need to take into consideration.
First, you need to make sure that the area where the slab will be installed is level. If the area is not level, the finished product will not be level either, which can cause problems down the road.
Second, you must ensure that the area is large enough to accommodate the slab. If the area is too small, the finished product will also be too small.
Third, you must ensure that the area is free of debris and other objects that could damage the finished product.

Concrete slabs offer many benefits to homeowners and businesses alike. They are durable, low maintenance, and have a variety of uses.
Concrete slabs can be used for driveways, patios, pool decks, and much more. When properly installed, they will last for many years with minimal upkeep.
Slabs can also be used to create raised platforms or level areas in a yard or garden. This is especially useful for creating an outdoor entertaining area or a children’s play area. They can support a variety of loads, for example, as the foundation for walls, floors, and roofs.

We have different kinds of concrete slabs suited for different applications.
For example, our lightweight concrete slabs are perfect for creating raised garden beds or level areas in your yard. These slabs are easy to install and can be cut to size on-site, making them an excellent option for DIY projects.
Our heavyweight concrete slabs are ideal for projects that require a strong and durable foundation, such as carports, outdoor decks, and shed bases. These slabs are made with high-strength concrete and reinforcement, making them much heavier than our lightweight options.
