From my colleague in the La Crescenta area, Phyllis Harb, here is a general description of magnesite flooring: http://los-angeles-real-estate-blog.com/2009/06/16/what-is-magnesite-flooring.aspx#comment-3156812. I’ve sold several houses with this type of flooring, used mostly for stairs. From the Western Magnesite website at http://www.westernmagnesite.com:Â
For exterior walking surfaces.
A unique formulation of magnesium oxychloride cement with inert fillers and aggregates, Magnesite installs over any structurally sound sub floor. It can be applied in a countless variety of textures, patterns, designs, and finishes to achieve the look and effect you’ve only dreamed about with other surfaces.
- Resistant to grease, oil and solvents
- Excellent for sanitary installations
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Hard, strong, long-lasting-yet flexible
- Outstanding resistance to abrasion, weathering, and water
But I have seen it often used for interior stairs and hallways as well.
