So, what exactly is a garage slab, and why is it so important? A garage slab is a concrete slab that is either poured inside of foundation walls (Attached Garage) or a stand alone slab on grade (Detached Garage). It is typically 3.5”-4 inches thick and reinforced with rebar to provide strength and stability. The slab is poured directly onto the ground, with a layer of compacted gravel providing a base for the concrete.
When it comes to garage slab construction, there are many factors to consider. Here are some of the key factors that we take into account when designing and building a garage slab:
Drainage/slope: Proper slope is essential for ensuring proper drainage. Having proper drainage is essential for preventing water damage to your garage slab. We carefully measure and set heights in our garage slabs to ensure that water flows out from the garage slab through the overhead door opening, preventing moisture buildup and damage.
Reinforcement: Steel rebar provides strength and stability to your garage slab, helping to minimize excessive cracking and sagging. At A-1 Cement, we use high-quality rebar and ensure that it is placed correctly to provide maximum reinforcement.
