You guys are really gold plating his 500 sf slab.
No kidding....

However after reading Cramers numerous posts... He leans toward gold plating...

Me.. I wouldn't use rebar for a slab that is not structural.. I'd use mesh.. just as millions (billions) of sf of simple slabs in the US are reinforced..

For a simple, non structural slab on grade.... the only thing the rebar or mesh is providing is crack control...
