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.

Want To Learn More About The Different Methods For Removing Epoxy From Concrete?
Epoxy is a super hard composite material with many uses – among them finishes on a concrete garage or workshop floor. You’ll get many years of wear. But what if you need to Remove Epoxy from concrete?
How you proceed will depend on the condition of the epoxy and how long it has been on the concrete. If it’s a simple spill, It’s best to begin clean-up as soon as the epoxy is spilled. Although it will harden, the adhesive will not fully cure for several hours, or possibly even over 24 hours (Depending on the product used)
When it comes to how to Remove Epoxy Coatings from concrete, knowing the right approach is key. This guide cuts straight to the chase when it comes to Removing Epoxy From Concrete, offering explicit steps for every method possible while highlighting the importance of safety and avoiding damage to tackle your project with confidence by following our comprehensive directions.
Below we are going to go in-depth into every different method used for Removing Epoxy From Concrete.
1) Hand Grinder or Concrete Grinder:
Removing Epoxy with a Hand Grinder or Concrete Grinder is our preferred method for removing old, hardened Epoxy Coatings from concrete floors. It’s highly effective, affords us the control we need, and we have the experience and equipment to do it quickly and safely.
Concrete surfaces are not indestructible though and you don’t want to damage your surfaces by overgrinding. Larger concrete grinders are used for large areas, while you can use a handheld hand grinder to get into corners or edges.
2) Shot Blasting:
Removing Epoxy with a Shot Blaster is extremely fast and is mostly used for commercial work or Epoxy Line Removal.
3) Concrete Scarifier:
Removing Epoxy with a Concrete Scarifier is extremely fast at removing thick coatings and is mostly used for commercial work or asphalt work.
4) Pressure Washing:
Removing Epoxy using a Pressure Washer is sometimes possible depending on how weak the Line Marking or Epoxy is, it’s mostly only used for Line Markings that are in fairly poor condition.
5) Powered Floor Scrapers and Ride-On Floor Scrapers:
Removing Epoxy with floor scrapers and ride-on floor scrapers is our preferred method for removing old, hardened Epoxy Coatings from concrete floors in commercial and industrial areas. It’s highly effective, affords us the control we need, and we have the experience and equipment to do it quickly and safely.
6) Heat Gun and Scraping:
Removing Epoxy by using a heat gun, putty knife, hand scraper, or chisel is possible for small areas. Heating the Epoxy beyond its TG (softening point) and/or cure temperature, can soften the Epoxy. You can try this by using a heat gun or a soldering iron on the Epoxy bond line, heating only small sections of the bond line at a time so it stays warm enough to soften. After you have heated the small area of epoxy, use a sharp object to try to scrape away the Epoxy Coating. Scrapers, Chisels, and Putty knives are often used to try to scrape it away.
You may want to apply localised heat if you’re correcting a mistake on a DIY project or a small part of a larger flooring project. The heat will soften the epoxy resin, which helps to break down its adhesion to the concrete. This will allow you to scrape the epoxy off simply.
7) Chemically:
Removing Epoxy Chemically, using different types of chemicals. Epoxy is praised for its chemical resistance, which is why you’ll find Epoxy Flooring at industrial facilities and family-owned restaurants and kitchens. However, though Epoxy can’t be excessively damaged by solvents, it can be temporarily softened for removal in small areas.
Removing Epoxy From Concrete using a solvent, you must soak a small area with the chemical until the epoxy has sufficiently softened and then scrap away at it with either a mechanical grinder or by hand. Professionals will use heavy-duty solvents, which you may be able to purchase from your local hardware store, but common meth for Removing Epoxy From Concrete solvents also include:
1) Isopropyl alcohol
2) Denatured alcohol
3) Acetone
4) Sulfuric acid
5) Muriatic acid
6) Toluene
7) Paint Thinners
The listed solvents are highly flammable, and all solvents emit toxic fumes that can injure people and damage the surrounding area. Solvents are usually the best way to Remove Epoxy from small areas — grouting, for instance. Though we may occasionally use solvents to soften Epoxy, Concrete Grinding is always our preferred method.
Acetone can be effective on wood or concrete surfaces. It should loosen the Epoxy, so you can peel it away easily. Use acetone only in well-ventilated areas and keep it away from any flammable objects.
If the Epoxy Paint Coating is in extremely poor condition and is a small area (such as 10 square metres or less), then this is a job you could potentially tackle yourself.
Is Epoxy Floor Removal Required Before I Install A New Coating Or Flooring System?

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 Epoxy Floor with 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 you must turn off air conditioning units as well as isolate, switch off and cover your fire alarms as dust will set them off.
Do I Need To Hire A Skip Bin?
No, Other Epoxy Floor Removal companies, regardless of job size, will make you hire a skip bin, which will cost a huge amount ($375 – $1,000+) and will have to sit in your front yard for days while you deal with the annoyance of organising it and the large cost of the whole process.
Here at Epoxy Floor Removal Sydney, we come in and remove your Epoxy Floor Removal. Our team will sweep and vacuum your property to clean up any dust!
Then, once we are finished, we will also take all the waste to a local resource management centre for you (Recycling whenever possible), which will be far cheaper than you having to hire a skip bin and dealing with the frustration of that whole process! (On average, our clients save 60% on disposal of waste charges)
What Equipment Does Our Team Use?
This is a small range of the equipment that we use on our projects.
Are Our Epoxy Floor Removal Services Dust-Free?
Will The Job Be 100% Dust-Free?
How do we achieve an almost 90 – 99.99% Dust-Free Flooring Removal and Concrete Grinding experience for our clients?
Here at Dust-Free Epoxy Floor Removal Sydney, we specialize in Dust-Free Epoxy Floor Removal. We employ a speciality system that suctions and removes dust and debris directly from our tools into a powerful commercial dust extractor. Our equipment is powerful, strong, and guaranteed to significantly reduce, or even completely eradicate, the dust and debris that is often associated with Dust-Free Epoxy Floor Removal and replacement projects.
Our specially designed dust-free equipment makes the Epoxy Floor Removal process much faster than traditional Epoxy Floor Removal. It is also more efficient than traditional removal techniques and is substantially cleaner and safer. This gives our Dust-Free Epoxy Floor Removal process the added benefit of being the most environmentally friendly solution.
After the Dust-Free Epoxy Floor 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.

Get A Better Understanding Of Just How Powerful Our Dust Extractors Are
Dustmaster® series dust extractors have been specially designed to handle the demands of the concrete grinding industry, which has high-loading fine dust.
This is the H-Class (often referred to as HEPA) Dust extractor that is certified to handle hazardous dust. These amazing dust collectors have been certified to capture up to 99.99% of the dust.
Dust extraction in our industry is often more important than the actual grinding itself. Without it, we could breathe the fine dust, which could be detrimental to our health.
– Featuring dual 10A motors, maximum performance is ensured. The longopac bagging system makes handling and disposal of hazardous dust much easier.
– Performance is maintained by the rotary filter cleaning mechanism, which automatically cleans the filter during operation.
– This machine has a single durable toggle switch for each motor.
– A deep clean is achieved while running whilst the motor is turned off. The rotary filter cleaning can be turned off when the DustMaster is not in use using the rotary switch on the front panel.
