In standard construction terminology, a concrete slab is not considered a ceiling by itself, though a structural concrete floor slab can double as the overhead ceiling for the floor level immediately beneath it in multi-story commercial buildings or parking garages. In residential single-story slab-on-grade houses, the slab serves exclusively as the ground-level foundation floor, while ceilings are constructed separately using wooden or metal framing joists and drywall panels.
