Hi all
Been reading up on magnesite and the potential disaster that this product is if you have been unfortunate enough to have it installed as sub flooring in a unit.

The problem I have is that I have never come across it and as such have no idea what it actually looks like.
All the floors we have dealt with to date have been normal, relatively rough, concrete floors over which they simply laid carpet. When I say rough I mean rough and even slopping. In one particular block we even have mini speed bumps.
Looking at the pics hanging of the included link. It looks like it may not be readily distinguishable from a standard concrete floor.
So the question is - does anybody have first hand experience and if so can you describe what it actually looks like, feels like, type thing. Is it as dense as the standard concrete / cement flooring.
Any pic's showing the structure would be good.
Cheers
