You can upgrade your building standards with Magnesium Oxide (MgO) board. Whether you're constructing a residential home, a high-traffic commercial space, or a specialized facility, MgO board outperforms traditional materials like drywall, plywood, and cement. It is the robust, high-performance solution that modern builders trust.
Unmatched Fire Safety
When safety is paramount, MgO board delivers. Unlike combustible plywood or standard gypsum, MgO board, like MagMatrix's brand BMSC 517, new sulfate MGO formulation of its Perseverance model of the wall, subfloor, and roofing sheathing panels have an ASTM E136 non-combustible rating. It can withstand extreme temperatures up to 1200°C and maintain its structural integrity for up to 4 hours during a fire. Crucially, it produces no toxic smoke or fumes, giving occupants valuable time to evacuate safely.
Impervious to Water and Wear
Say goodbye to mold, mildew, and rot. MgO board is virtually impervious to water damage, making it the ideal choice for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and humid coastal climates. While standard gypsum drywall softens and crumbles when wet, MgO board retains its shape and strength. It is also naturally resistant to termites and other insects, ensuring your walls and floors last for decades without requiring frequent repairs.
A Greener Building Solution
Build responsibly without sacrificing quality. MgO boards are crafted from naturally occurring minerals and require significantly less energy to produce than cement. The manufacturing process is carbon-conscious, as the boards actually absorb CO2 while curing. Furthermore, they are 100% recyclable and free of harmful chemicals such as asbestos and formaldehyde, contributing to a healthier environment inside and out.
Versatility Across Every Sector
From residential renovations to large-scale infrastructure, MgO board adapts to the specific needs of any project:
Interiors: Create durable fire-rated walls, acoustic ceiling panels, and sturdy subflooring that won't squeak or warp.
Exteriors: Use it for weather-resistant sheathing, soffits, and fascia that can withstand hurricane-force winds.
Specialty Applications: Perfect for lining tunnels, manufacturing fire doors, and creating safe fireplace surrounds.
A Smart Long-Term Investment for Magnesium Oxide Board in Construction Uses
While the initial investment for Magnesium oxide board in the construction uses is higher than standard drywall, the return on investment is clear. By eliminating the need for frequent replacements due to water damage, impact, or mold, you significantly reduce long-term maintenance costs. Additionally, compared with heavy cement board, MgO is lighter and easier to cut, reducing installation time and labor costs on the job site.
