A structural slab is a concrete flat element used to support structural loads. A slab usually has a thickness between four and six inches. The slab must be reinforced to ensure the required level of support.

To protect your exposed aggregate concrete, it is important to regularly sweep and hose it down. For those living in Toowoomba, this can be done easily as the climate is generally dry and sunny. However, during the rainy season, you may need to be more diligent in order to prevent moss and mildew from taking hold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Concrete and cement are both construction materials that are used extensively around the world. They both have their own unique properties and uses, which is why they are often confused with one another. 

Concrete is a mixture of cement, water, sand, and gravel. It is used in construction projects such as foundations, flooring, walls, and roads. The main advantage of concrete is that it is very strong and durable. 

Cement, on the other hand, is a powder made from limestone and clay. It is mixed with water to make mortar or concrete. Cement is an essential ingredient in construction because it gives concrete its strength and durability. 
 

It is possible for concrete to be too strong. If a concrete mix is too dense, it can cause cracking and other problems. In addition, if the mixture is too wet, the resulting concrete may be too weak. It's important to get the proportions of sand, gravel, cement and water just right in order to produce a strong but durable concrete.

If you use too much cement in concrete, it can adversely affect the strength and durability of the final product. The amount of cement in a concrete mix is typically expressed as a "cement to sand ratio" or a "cement to aggregates ratio". A higher-than-normal cement ratio means that there will be more cement paste surrounding the individual aggregate particles, which can make the concrete weaker and more susceptible to cracking. Conversely, using too little cement will also lead to substandard concrete; in this case, the mixture will be more likely to experience shrinkage cracking as it dries. It's therefore important to get your proportions right when making concrete, in order to ensure a high-quality final product.
