Is There Magnesite Flooring In Your Property?
If your home was built in the 1920s – 1980s, likely, your home (Especially unit blocks in Sydney and 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 that 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.
