POST TENSION SLABS

You may not know it but if you own a modern home you probably have a post-tension slab.  A post-tension slab is a slab of concrete without traditional stem type footings instead there is a series of cables or tendons that run the length of the slab. 

The concrete is allowed to cure to about 75% of the way, at which point post-tensioning occurs. Each of the tendons in the post-tension slab is pulled tight, using a hydraulic jack. The tensing of the cables occurs after the concrete has mostly cured, hence the term “post-tension.” The tendons are usually pulled to a tension of 25,000 pounds per square inch. Once the cables have reached the designated tension, they are anchored in the concrete, and the slab is allowed to fully cure.

Many modern homes are built on a post-tension slab, which serves as an excellent foundation. This method of pre-stressing concrete is especially useful in areas where the soil expands and contracts relative to weather conditions.

Overall, a post-tension slab is stronger with less concrete and is less likely to shift and cause flooring problems in your home. 

STEM FOOTING SLABS

A traditional home slab uses the stem footing method.  This method consists of a footing trench around the perimeter of the slab and rebar that is used to prevent movement during soil shifts.  There is also a stem or vertical wall around the perimeter poured into the footing trench to act as a support for the supporting the perimeter walls and roof.  This method of slab while tried and true uses more concrete to maintain the needed strength and is more susceptible to shifts in your flooring where cracks appear.

EPOXY COATING

 An epoxy coat can be used to repair damaged concrete or you can also use it to beautify your garage floors and make them easier to clean or prevent oil stains. 

There are many different colors and types of coatings that can be used so be sure to consult with the experts at Whitton Concrete before you consider coating your concrete.

 Concrete doesn't have to be a boring grey hunk of rock anymore.  With modern technology you can add color and texture to your new driveway or driveway ribbons you want to add.  Salt finishes, exposed aggregate, scoring and diamond cuts are just some of your options.
