What Is Magnesite Flooring?

Older buildings, especially apartments & unit blocks across Sydney that were built between the 1920s up until the 1980s, are more than likely to have Magnesite Flooring. It is made of a chemical named Magnesium Oxychloride, which may contain ASBESTOS material. (It can be extremely dangerous to your long-term health to remove if you don’t take the proper precautions while doing it).

Magnesite is a mineral compound mostly composed of magnesium carbonate. Known for its high durability, fire resistance, and thermal insulation, it’s no wonder it’s been used in construction for decades, especially in flooring systems.

Magnesite Flooring is a specialised cementitious product that is based on Magnesium Oxychloride (or Magnesium Oxysulphate) cement. The most common form involves the reaction between a Magnesium Chloride solution and Magnesium Hydroxide powder to form the cement binder. The finished product also contains a filling material, which is commonly sawdust, wood fibres, cork, or can also contain ASBESTOS.

What makes Magnesite Flooring different from normal cement is that fillers and aggregates such as wood chips or sawdust have been added to it. Sometimes, it may also have ASBESTOS. Magnesite Flooring was mainly used in Sydney and NSW as a slab topping or an underlay to carpet and other forms of floor coverings.

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 Does Magnesite Flooring Look Like?

Magnesite Flooring in Australia is a “Brownish” colour, in other areas around the world, it’s more of a “pinkish/red” colour.

Magnesite Flooring is not used anymore but was very popular for domestic applications in unit blocks from the 1920s to the 1980s. Magnesite Flooring was commonly applied on top of concrete ground floor slabs. Magnesite Flooring was made from a mixture of calcined magnesite and magnesium chloride solution with various fillers (e.g. wood flour, sawdust, and sometimes asbestos).

Magnesite Flooring was made from a mixture of calcined Magnesite and magnesium chloride solution with various fillers (e.g. wood flour, sawdust, asbestos). It was typically laid between 10 and 25mm thick, but two-coat applications could be up to 50mm thick. Magnesite Flooring is very vulnerable to dampness and if there is any doubt about moisture protection, it should be replaced.
