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.

How Is Plywood Flooring Used?

As A Subfloor: Plywood for subflooring usually comes in interlocking sheets (i.e., with interlocking tongues and grooves). When installed directly on top of the joists of a floor’s framing system, it forms a secure base for the finished floor layer that will be laid on top of it. A Plywood subfloor can support many types of floor finishes or coverings, including carpets, laminates, bamboo, and hardwood.

As Underlayment: Depending on what kind of floor you’re creating, you may need an underlayment on top of the subfloor. This optional layer provides a stiffer, smoother surface for the final top layer to rest on. It can also act as an extra moisture or sound barrier. For this, you can use Plywood as well.

As A Finished Flooring System: You can install Plywood as the finish or “covering” on top of an existing subfloor. (And yes, you can have Plywood flooring over a Plywood subfloor.) You can cut Plywood into planks or special shapes and lay them in whatever pattern you prefer. Some Plywood flooring designs even mimic traditional wood parquet floors or mosaics.

What You Need To Know About Plywood Flooring

Softness: If you have ever pulled a cork from a wine bottle, you know how soft and pliable this material can be. It has a yielding surface beneath the feet that is very comfortable to stand on, even for long periods.

Vulnerability: While hardwood is solid all the way through, Plywood consists of multiple thicknesses of thin wood veneer, layered at angles, and then glued and compressed under heat to form a strong laminated sheet. The layering process makes the result resistant to expansion—giving it an edge over hardwood. But plywood’s softer surface tends to chip and dent, making the final application of a hard top coating vital to the success of your floor.

Usability: Plywood Floors are suitable for any room where you’d otherwise install hardwood, though kitchens and bathrooms are less desirable since frequent water spills are likely. Basements are not recommended for Plywood Flooring because they’re typically a bit damp, and a concrete floor can transfer moisture from the soil to the Plywood, which could cause it to delaminate and swell over time.

Thickness: A 1½-in thick, 4-foot by 8-foot sheet of CDX Plywood (the kind used in subflooring) sells for around $15. Higher grades of Plywood are available, but they’re more expensive and intended for finished cabinetry. If you have your heart set on using high-end Plywood with an oak veneer face, expect to pay between $50 and $100, or more, per sheet, depending on the quality of the veneer facing

Durability: Plywood Flooring is not the toughest flooring material, and it’s vulnerable to moisture damage, so it must be protected from damage and excess moisture. If you want to refurbish your home or renovate your business’s workspace. Plywood Flooring can be extremely difficult as it is not a suitable material to use smoothing compound on and can limit what floor covering you can use.

The best thing for you to do is to get your Plywood Flooring professionally Removed before replacing it with a more substantial, sturdy surface. By getting it professionally Removed you can ensure that the job will be completed in a safe and fast manner by our team at Plywood Flooring Removal Sydney.

Our team of professionals has years of experience in Plywood Flooring Removal.

We will be able to Remove your Plywood Flooring safely and efficiently while making sure that is completed within a reasonable time frame.

What Is Plywood Flooring?

Plywood is a composite building material. It’s made of several thin sheets of wood veneer or “plies.” These are produced by a machine that rotates harvested wood logs and peels them off.

Each veneer sheet or ply is first rotated to a different angle before bonded to another sheet with strong adhesive. Then it’s all compressed under heat into a much denser material.

That method creates what’s called “cross-graining.” By compressing veneers at different angles, Plywood manufacturers can reinforce the material with wood grains that run perpendicular to one another. This reduces the Plywood’s tendency to split, warp, expand, or contract.

Moreover, Plywood manufacturers often use better-quality veneers for the outer layers. The lower-quality inner layers create a separation between the outer layers on each side of the panel. If any stress strikes one outer layer, less of the force gets transferred to the other side. This makes Plywood even more resistant to bending.

All these characteristics make Plywood durable and flexible enough for either structural applications or as a decorative finish.

This is also why it makes an excellent alternative to expensive hardwood floors.

How Do I Work Out How Much My Job Will Cost?

How To Use A Square Metre CalculatorA 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 Plywood Flooring with jackhammers 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.

This gives our Dust-Free Plywood Flooring Removal process the added benefit of being the most environmentally friendly solution.

After the Dust-Free Plywood Flooring Removal process, we will grind your concrete slab with the use of high-powered Dust-Free Concrete Grinding equipment that is connected directly to a high-powered commercial dust extractor. We will also perform demolition services with the use of high-powered commercial dust extraction equipment plugged directly into our tools.

Unfortunately, small amounts of dust are still produced and cannot be completely eliminated even with the most expensive high-end equipment and the latest technology. It should also be noted that certain equipment, such as Jackhammers, has a harder time trying to contain the dust, even with the use of high-end dust extractors. Concrete Grinders can contain dust a lot more easily. (Roughly 90 – 99.99% of the dust is still sucked up by a 3-engine high-powered commercial dust extractor that is plugged directly into the equipment) but sometimes, a small amount of dust can still escape.

If you are concerned about the small amounts of dust that may get into areas that we are not working in, such as the kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, etc., we would advise that you seal off those areas that we are not working in with plastic and sticky tape before our team arrives to avoid delays.
