Material used in old house construction


Rk

Recommended Posts

We have a old house in the south of france and the floor construction is tiles on white stuff on timbers.

Does anybody know what the white stuff is?

Can it be bought in France and what is it called.

I need to do some restoration.

I can't be sure, as the description is a little vague but if it has a "plaster type" look, then it may well be a thing called MAP.

The French love it, it can stick most things in the building trade from blocks, plasterboard to walls and most thing of that kind of nature. I have seen it all over France and have used it myself on many occasions. Take a nice lump with you to the local builders merchant and see what they reckon.

Thanks for  a sensible answer...

I have taken a  lump of this plaster type material to the local builders merchant but perhaps it is my grasp of the french language or something but I had no luck. The house is in a very rural area and the merchants are very daunting.

Any more info, the full product name for instance would be of great use.

Also I thought I had published this on the renovation page, perhaps somebody could advise me as to where the page is.

 

Regards.
