When building or renovating a house, the material you choose for your walls and sheathing matters greatly. It’s not just about looks; it’s about choosing something tough and long-lasting. You need a material that can withstand bad weather, resist mold and pests, and offer fire protection.


That’s where magnesium oxide (MgO) boards come in. Builders and engineers love this high-tech material for its unmatched durability and performance. It beats out traditional options like gypsum, cement, and wood-based products in almost every way.

I'm not convinced yet; is that okay? Let's go over three reasons why MgO boards are the perfect choice for your home.

1. Waterproof and Flood-Resistant

Unlike gypsum or cement boards, MgO boards don’t fall apart when wet. Do you have a leaky HVAC system? Flooding in your area? No problem—MgO boards stay solid and functional even after water exposure. Plus, they resist mold and mildew. Again, unlike gypsum or cement boards, magnesium oxide boards maintain structural integrity even after water exposure, such as floods or HVAC leaks. Resistant to mold and mildew growth, these boards are ideal for homes in flood-prone areas, providing long-term durability and peace of mind. That’s a massive bonus if you live in a flood-prone area or want extra peace of mind.


2. Stops Mold and Mildew in Their Tracks

Thanks to their unique make-up, MgO boards don’t absorb moisture and don’t feed mold or mildew. You know what that means? No black mold creeping up your walls, and no dealing with the health issues—like asthma and allergies—come with it. It’s a solid win for both your home and your health. As Magnesium oxide isn't susceptible to decay or mold growth. Traditional materials often foster harmful black mold, leading to respiratory illnesses and other health issues. With MgO boards, you eliminate these risks, enhancing indoor air quality and ensuring a healthier home environment.


3. No Chance of Pest Problems

Termites or other critters chewing on your walls? Not with MgO boards. They’re 100% pest-proof because there’s nothing in them for bugs to eat. MgO boards are entirely termite-proof, containing no organic materials that attract pests. This feature protects your home from damage and saves you significant costs on fumigation services, offering superior protection against infestations.


Say goodbye to costly fumigation services and imagine the relief of knowing your home isn’t being munched on from the inside out.
