Bunbury Concreting specialise in developing concrete products for residential and commercial projects. We are offering a wide range selection of concrete products that includes concrete slabs, concrete wall panels, concrete tables, concrete letterboxes and many others.
Concrete Slabs
A concrete slab is a flat, horizontal surface made of cast concrete that is used as a structural feature in modern buildings. Floors and ceilings are typically built with steel reinforced slabs, while exterior paving can be done with thinner mud slabs. Concrete slabs may be used as either a floor or a roof.
Concrete Slab Floors
Our concrete slab floor comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, and it offers excellent thermal comfort and lifestyle benefits. Slabs may be mounted on the ground, suspended, or a combination of both. You can install non moisture sensitive rigid foam board insulation both underneath and on the edges.
Different types
- Suspended slab
- Slab on ground
- Precast slab
Benefits:
Durability – Concrete slabs may have an almost infinite life span if the reinforcement is properly planned and built. It should be properly mounted and compacted so that there are no voids or porous areas.
Resistance to termites – Concrete slabs should be built and constructed in compliance with Australian Standards to have minimal shrinkage cracking and thus provide a low termite risk.
Thermal comfort – By acting as a temperature flywheel, concrete slabs or heavyweight walls may help control indoor comfort.
Fire Safety – Since it is made of concrete precast walls are fire-resistant materials.
Precast Concrete Wall Panels
The primary purpose of precast walls is to accelerate the construction process. Precast concrete walls are moulded by pouring concrete into a reusable wall mould, curing it in a regulated setting.
Types of Precast Concrete Wall
Load bearing Wall
Load bearing wall units oppose and share loads from various components and are unable to be extracted or dismantled without sacrificing the building’s efficiency or dependability.
Cladding or Curtain Walls
The most frequently used precast wall for building envelopes is cladding or curtain walls. They are non-load bearing walls built to block the wind and enclose the space.
Shear Walls
A shear wall is a type of structural panel that can withstand lateral forces. Wind and seismic loads are examples of lateral forces, which are parallel to the plane of the wall.
Liquid Limestone
If you’re looking for an alternative to paving, liquid limestone is the way to go. Bunbury Concreting provides excellent quality products of Liquid Limestone. It is a great product that adds a sophisticated look and feel to any space, particularly around a pool.

- It contrasts beautifully with plain concrete or other decorative procedures like stamping, stencilling, staining, and integral colouring.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating is a type of central heating that uses hydronic or electrical heating elements embedded in a floor to achieve indoor climate control for thermal comfort. Heating is accomplished through conduction, radiation, and convection. It has been used since the Neo glacial and Neolithic periods. It will improve the comfort that your house needs. It is a cost effective choice for new construction and renovations. For more details about this service, please contact us.
Hydronic HVAC System
Water is used as the primary fluid in a hydronic HVAC system to transport energy in the house. A heat source, such as a boiler, is required to provide heat, and a cooling source, such as a chiller or cooling tower, is required to provide cooling.
Electric Systems
Electric systems used non corrosive, malleable heating elements including cables, bronze mesh, carbon films and pre formed cable mats. They can be mounted in a thermal mass or directly under floor finishes.
The type of electric system you install will be determined by the number and size of the rooms and how well it is insulated, the type of flooring below, whether it is insulated, and the type of flooring you will have on top. Loose fit wiring, which is compact enough to fit into narrow or tight spaces, electric cable systems, and heating mats that you lay out to cover wider areas are all possibilities.
4 Main Types of Electric Systems
Underfloor Heating Mats
The most popular system is underfloor heating mats. All you have to do is roll out the mat until it’s completely depleted. If necessary, the cable can be removed from the mat and shaped to fit into any awkward spaces.
Underwood / Carpet / Vinyl Foil Heating Mats
Advanced aluminium heating mats are intended for installation beneath carpet and vinyl floors. The foil heating mats can be installed in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens while remaining fully compliant with electrical and building codes.
Underfloor Loose Wire Systems
Loose wire systems are commonly used for smaller spaces, such as bathrooms. Your installer must space the cable out uniformly over the floor because the cable comes in one long continuous roll on a drum. This gives them the flexibility to space the cable evenly no matter how irregular the room shape is.
In screed Heating Systems
Since they take longer to heat up and can only generate an output of 17 watts per linear metre, these cables are typically used in new extensions or conservatory projects.
