Not too hard to find mag guys. Thats what I do! commercial installs with a pigmented(painted) finish, yes. Stain or stamping, no.

Posted by: john at April 25, 2008 12:18 AMBut John, do you travel outside California? That feels like the challenge to me. For those of us not in California, especially Southern California, how do we get a diato floor installed?

Posted by: The Flooring Lady at April 25, 2008 07:12 AMHi,
I'm looking for a Magnesite specialist in the LA (Hollywood) area. Please email (removed for privacy).
The paint finish is damaged and I need to get it stripped and resurfaced. Let me know a ball park rate $/sq.ft and we'll go from there.
Thanks, Andrew

This site is to help others with flooring problems or develop ideas on how to handle various flooring situations.
I don't know of anybody out in the Hollywood area myself, maybe somebody else will wander in and provide some assistance. Have you tried your phone book and calling some flooring installers/repairers and ask if they have experience with Magnesite flooring? You might try looking about on the internet too - Google would be a good place to start I'd think.
Prices vary widely across the country as well, I don't know what would be a typical rate in the Hollywood area.
Good luck!

Posted by: Vanjuan at July 30, 2008 12:22 PMVanjuan, what territory do you work in? Only California, or do you go elsewhere in the US? And if you don't go outside the LA Basin, do you know of other Magnesite Diato contractors?

Posted by: Anonymous at August 3, 2008 11:10 AMHI, I am contacting you from Middle East. My friend owns a magnesite property but the magnesite rock has three sets of joints so it is not possible to make tiles and slabs by sawing. I would like to know, how to use this kind of magnesite in flooring?

Posted by: Mian K Habib at August 6, 2008 01:32 AMHello Mian,
I wouldn't have a clue how to use this particular magnesite for flooring. I don't about actual methods for cutting or cleaving in a manufacturer's setting. This site is designed to help others with flooring issues, not manufacturing. Sorry I couldn't help.

Posted by: The Flooring Lady at August 6, 2008 11:06 AMI've googled magnesite flooring, as I have 3 floors in my house that are original (circa 1929) and found quite a bit of info on it, but no one actually doing repairs or sealing it in the Northeast or then again pretty much anywhere in general. I'm also trying to test the floor from below to see if radiant heat will be an option as the magnesite is roughly 1/2 to 5/8 thick and whether the heat will pass through it.

Hi Jim,
The gentleman who posted from Beverly Hills, CA, might be able to help you with some information. I don't know of anyone in the NE who could help you, but maybe this gent has. If nothing else he might be able to help you with some of your questions regarding radiant heat.
