I want to send along a "thank you" to the entire Taber team for our wonderful new home. I also want to say a special "thanks" to Brady and Janette for the personal commitment they showed throughout the entire home buying process. Janette on the sales side was always there for questions and provided great recommendations. Brady on the home side went above and beyond to maintain schedule for our family. We are now in our home and could not be happier. It was a hook slide to close, but we are now busy unpacking and getting ready for the holidays in our new Taber home.

The standard slab on grade is a foundation only in areas where there is a footing. With a monolithic post tensioned slab, the entire slab assembly acts like a foundation. Footings are still in place under load bearing walls, however, the post tensioning acts to lift the rest of the slab and increase the overall slab PSI strength.

Post Tension Vs. Standard Concrete

Concrete on its own has a high compression strength but a very low tensile strength. For decades, high rise builders have been adding tensile strength to their lightweight concrete by using post tension. The post tension cables are tightened. While unsupported concrete would naturally sag, high tension cables lift the concrete assembly. This same concept is incorporated in the monolithic post tension slab.

Monolithic slabs are also much thicker than the standard 4-6" slab. 9,10 even 12 inches is not uncommon. The combination of a thicker slab and post tensioning allows slab foundations in areas with expansive soils and the possibility of earthquakes.
