Concrete pouring companies often pour concrete slabs of various sizes and thicknesses, depending on what their customers ask for. Concrete slabs are useful for many different things. These are some of the main things that concrete slabs are used for. If you need a concrete slab that can be used for one of these purposes, then contact a concrete pouring company to make arrangements.

Patios

If you have a patio in your backyard, then chances are good that your patio is simply a concrete slab that has been poured and spread just outside your back door. Patios are typically on the thinner side when compared to other concrete slabs, and they can be poured in whatever size the customer thinks is best so they can set up patio furniture, grills, and more.

Structure Foundations

Concrete slabs are also very popularly used for pouring foundations. Many homes are built on a concrete foundation, for example. However, it's not just a home that can be built on a concrete foundation. Although they typically have to be a bit thicker, concrete slabs can be used as foundations for commercial buildings. Additionally, they can be used as foundations for smaller structures, such as outdoor storage buildings, carports, and garages.

Concrete Flooring

Many people aren't aware of just how popular concrete flooring is. However, concrete slabs can be installed and used as concrete flooring, which is incredibly durable and also quite economical. The only difference you'll probably notice between concrete flooring and other types of concrete slabs is the fact that your concrete flooring will be finished with a nice, smooth coating. This can add the color that you want your floor to have, and it can make the surface smooth and flat. Additionally, it protects the flooring and makes it very easy to clean, too.

Foundations for HVAC Units

Concrete slabs are commonly used as a foundation for HVAC units. This helps lift the HVAC unit off of the ground. Sometimes, HVAC companies work with concrete companies so they can get help pouring these slabs.

These are just some examples of the different ways that concrete slabs can be used, although they are used for many different things, too. If you contact a concrete pouring company and let them know what you're hoping to use the concrete slab for, they can make recommendations about how large and thick your concrete slab needs to be, and they can help with installation.
