What is a Mud Dlab?

Thin layer of concrete or mortar applied to create a level surface for subsequent construction, preventing soil contamination and moisture issues.

More In-depth Definition of Mud Dlab

A Mud Slab, also known as a blinding slab or a blinding concrete layer, is a thin layer of concrete or mortar applied to a subgrade or foundation to create a level, clean surface for the installation of a primary structural slab or other construction elements. Its primary purpose is to provide a smooth, stable base that prevents contamination of the underlying soil and protects the main slab from moisture and soil-related issues. Mud Slabs are typically used in foundation work to ensure proper alignment and support for subsequent concrete pours or construction activities.

Example of a Mud Dlab

Thin layer of concrete laid on the ground before a main slab.
