Is There Magnesite Flooring In Your Property?
If your home was built in the 1920s – 1980s, likely, your home (Especially unit blocks in NSW) could potentially have Magnesite Flooring. Magnesite is present below a flooring system such as carpet. Magnesite is a product used as a noise preventative and a Floor Levelling agent.
Magnesite Flooring absorbs moisture (particularly in areas prone to moisture such as external walls, doorways, around shower recesses, near windows, laundries, etc.) Unfortunately, once Magnesite Flooring absorbs moisture, it starts a chemical reaction that will cause Concrete Cancer over long periods of time.
Because your Magnesite Flooring was laid 40 – 100 years ago, it has likely absorbed moisture over the many decades that it has been trapped under your flooring system, and it has most likely started to break down and lose its strength, making it an unsuitable Floor Levelling product that it once was, as well as very hollow, which destroys its soundproofing.
The best thing you can do to prevent further damage to your property and the concrete slab is to remove it ASAP. Magnesite Flooring consists of Magnesium Oxychloride, which may contain ASBESTOS.
Since it is a health hazard and a major safety risk in NSW, if you remove your flooring system and find out there is Magnesite under it.
YOU MUST remove your Magnesite Flooring for the safety of you and everyone else in your unit block.
Strata may pay to remove your Magnesite Flooring as it is considered “Common property”. Magnesite Flooring can cause Concrete Cancer, which is a major risk to everyone’s safety as well as the successful reinstallation of your new flooring system.
NO company will give you any form of warranty or insurance on any flooring installation job on a magnesite floor, which is another reason why it should always be removed.
What Is The Difference Between AstroTurf, Artificial Turf, Synthetic Turf, and Fake Grass?

What Are The Environmental Concerns Regarding AstroTurf?
Both the rubber granules (often made from recycled waste tyres) and the synthetic fibres of AstroTurf are subject to wear and can be washed into the environment. Second, only to tire and road wear particles (TRWP) that make up a large portion of the fine road debris, the rubber granulate from Synthetic Turf infill constitutes a significant source of rubber pollution.
Fragments from the artificial reeds make their way into the environment as microplastic pollution in both marine as well as soil environments. AstroTurf has been shown to contribute to global warming by absorbing significantly more radiation than living turf and, to a lesser extent, by displacing living plants that could sequester carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
While athletic fields made with AstroTurf have also been shown to require less maintenance and water than natural grass fields, they can damage habitats and food supplies for worms, bees, and other burrowing insects.
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is looking into alternatives for Astro Turf fields as the material is a significant source of microplastics. In September 2022, the European Commission made a draft proposal to restrict the use of microplastic granules as infill in sports fields.

What Are The Health And Safety Concerns Regarding AstroTurf?
The rubber crumb that makes up the infill of most AstroTurf is derived from old tyres. These crumbs are known to contain heavy metals, some cancer-causing compounds, and many chemicals whose effects are unknown. What is not clear is how much gets ingested, by what route – abrasions, swallowing crumbs, or inhalation – and the health effects of this exposure.
An epidemiological study was started in 2016 and is ongoing. While this data is being gathered, different groups have tried to estimate exposure and its effects. Although most of the debate has centred on whether these exposures cause cancer, there is growing evidence that exposure to these endocrine-disrupting chemicals can affect early puberty, obesity, and children’s attention spans.
Different experts have come to different conclusions. Some say we should take no chances and crumb infill should not be used: “Caution would argue against the use of these materials where human exposure is likely, and this is especially true for playgrounds and athletic playing fields where young people may be affected.” Others believe that since the overall cancer risk for adolescents is low, but the health problems from inactivity are high, the health benefits of the additional sports that can be played on AstroTurf fields outweigh the possible cancer risk.
“Regular physical activity during adolescence and early adulthood helps prevent cancer later in life. Restricting the use or availability of all-weather year-round synthetic fields and thereby potentially reducing exercise could, in the long run, actually increase cancer incidence, as well as cardiovascular disease and other chronic illnesses.”
A study for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection analyzed lead and other metals in the dust kicked into the air by physical activity on five AstroTurf fields. The results suggest that even low levels of activity on the field can cause particulate matter containing these chemicals to get into the air where it can be inhaled and be harmful.
The authors state that since no level of lead exposure is considered safe for children, “only a comprehensive mandated testing of fields can provide assurance that no health hazard on these fields exists from lead or other metals used in their construction and maintenance.”
A 2018 report by Yale scientists analyzed the chemicals found in six samples of tire crumbs from different companies that install school athletic fields, and nine different samples taken from nine unopened bags of rubber mulch. The researchers detected 92 chemicals in the samples. Only about half have ever been studied for their health effects, so the risks of the other chemicals are unknown. Some of the chemicals that have been tested for health effects were not examined thoroughly.
Of these chemicals that had been tested previously, 20% are considered to likely cause cancer, and 40% are irritants that can cause breathing problems such as asthma or can irritate skin and eyes. The researchers concluded that “people routinely ingest, inhale, handle, and have abrasions which contact ground tyre material…Caution would argue against the use of these materials where human exposure is likely, and this is especially true for playgrounds and athletic playing fields where young people may be affected.”
Some AstroTurf uses infill such as silicon sand and/or granulated rubber, referred to as “crumb rubber”. Some granulated rubber is made from recycled car tyres and may carry heavy metals that can leach into the water table. As early as 2007, a moratorium on the use of ground-up rubber tyres in fields and playgrounds was recommended based on health concerns. As of 2013, the EPA called for further studies to monitor the impact of particulate matter from fields and playgrounds that use AstroTurf.
PFAS chemicals (also known as “forever chemicals”) have also been found in turf samples, possibly a residual from the extrusion process.

How Do I Work Out How Much My Job Will Cost?
How To Use A Square Metre Calculator – A square metre calculator is very simple to use. To calculate square meters, you need to know the length and width of each area (Floor plans or manual measuring can help with this). This is also referred to as the area of the shape; most commonly, it’s a simple square or rectangle, but for more advanced areas, it can be harder and different shapes.
Square metres are calculated by Length x Width
For example 1 x 1 = 1 square metre
For example 7 x 4 = 28 square metres
For example 14 x 1 = 14 Square Metres
Or you can simply email Carpet Removal Sydney your “Floor Plan” to make it easier for you. We will calculate the square metres for you, but sometimes a Floor Plan may be missing measurements (most commonly the hallways), so those may need to be manually measured, or we may need to “guess” the rough measurement of that area.
Here is an example of a floor plan sent to us with “Missing Measurements.”
How to Calculate Square Meters
You might find yourself needing the area of a room or other space in square meters for a flooring, renovation, or landscaping project. To obtain such a measurement, you can measure the area of the space in square meters in a few simple steps. Follow along to learn how to calculate it yourself, or simply use the calculator above.
Step One: Measure Length and Width
In order to calculate the area of a space, you must know its dimensions. For example, if the shape of the space is a square or rectangle, then start by measuring the length and width of the space in meters using a tape measure or other measuring tool.
If your measurements are in another unit of measure, centimetres, for example, then you can either convert them to meters first, or you can find the area in another unit and convert them to square meters. We have some simple area conversion utilities, or you can convert yourself. If your length measurements are in centimetres, then divide by 100 to get meters.
If your area measurement is in square centimetres, then divide by 10,000 to get square meters.
If your space is not a square or rectangle, you may need to use a formula to calculate the area of a different shape. Or continue reading to see how to measure the area of oddly shaped rooms.
Step Two: Multiply Measurements Together
Once you have your measurements in meters, you can use the appropriate formula to calculate the area of the space in square meters. Continuing the example above for the square or rectangular room, now that you have a length and width measurement, you can find the area in square meters by multiplying the length and width together.
square meters = length × width
Measuring Oddly Shaped Rooms
Often, you’ll need to measure a space that’s not a perfect rectangle. It might be easiest to try to split up oddly shaped areas into separate shapes and measure the square meters of each of them separately.
Once that is complete, add up the individually calculated areas to find the total area of the space. You’ll also find that the formula above works great for rectangular areas. For other shapes, try our area calculator.
For example, see the formula below to see how to add two individually calculated areas of a complex space together.
total square meters = area 1 + area 2
FAQ’s
Are Square Metres and Metres The Same Thing?
No, square meters are a two-dimensional unit of area, whereas meters are a one-dimensional unit of length.
What Does 1 Square Metre Look Like?
One square meter is equal to a square that is 1 meter in width by 1 meter in height. For visual reference, a guitar is about 1 meter in length, so 1 square meter is approximately the area inside of a square made with guitars for edges.
Are Square Metres and Metres The Same Thing?
You can use square meters anytime you wish to know the area of space. Square meters are typically used for flooring, landscaping, and agricultural purposes.
How Many Square Metres Is A 10 x 10 Room?
A 10 m x 10 m room has an area of exactly 100 square meters, as shown by:
10 m × 10 m = 100 sq m
How Many Square Metres Is A 9 x 3 Room?
A 9 m x 3 m room has an area of exactly 27 square meters, as shown by:
9 m × 3 m = 127 sq m
What Does “Per Square Metre” Mean?
“Per square meter” is used whenever you are dividing some quantity by a total area, measured in square meters, for instance, to find a unit price. For example, if you want to resurface a 60 square meter lounge room and the total cost is $3,000, then the price per square meter is $50, as shown by:
$3,000 / 60 Square Metres = $50 per square meter
$3,000 divided by 60 Square Metres = $50 / Per Square Metre
Do I Need To Turn Off My Air-con And Fire Alarms?
Yes, While we are grinding your concrete and removing your Astro Turf with jackhammers, floor scrapers and concrete grinders, we do try to keep the dust to an absolute minimum through various methods such as dust extraction units or wet grinding. (But Dust still may occur, so it is important that you turn off air conditioning units as well as isolate, switch off and cover your fire alarms as dust will set them off.)
