House Slabs Mackay

Types of house slabs

These are some of the house slabs we have installed for builders and property owners in different parts of Mackay

Slab-on-ground: This form of slab is dug into the ground so that the concrete beams sit at ground level.
Waffle pod slabs: Here, a grid made of square spaces or ‘pods’ is created using steel beams is laid above the ground. Concrete is then poured in and around them to create a strong, uniform foundation.
Raft slabs: Commonly used for new constructions and extensions, a raft slab is a form of on-ground slab that is strengthened with integral concrete beams (usually referred to as strip footings).
Suspended slabs: A permanent or temporary framework is set in place and the concrete poured.
Precast slabs: These are fabricated off-site and then laid in place usually by use of a crane. A thin layer of concrete is sometimes added on top of precast slabs.

Why a concrete slab?

Foundations can be done in a number of different ways, but there are some reasons you should opt for a concrete slab.

  • Cost: Many a residential concreter will recommend a concrete slab because of how inexpensive it is. Not only is it well priced to install, it is low maintenance.
  • Speed: This is among the concrete services Mackay residents prefer because it is usually done in no time. They can then complete the rest of their construction within schedule and begin enjoying their new home.
  • Durability: They can go for decades without cracking especially in warmer climates. This makes them ideal for Mackay constructions.
  • Better protection: Concrete slabs offer protection against pests unlike footings that can be attacked by termites, especially those made from wood. We are the concreter Mackay homeowners come to when they want to revamp their house slab or switch from another type of foundation to a slab.
  • Greater accessibility: Since they’re usually not raised from the ground, you won’t need to install stairs leading to the doorstep. Even those who have mobility issues will be able to enter the building comfortably.
