Magboard Covers It All!

MagBoard is a structurally rated sheathing material that looks like drywall, although a great deal harder, and is installed much like OSB, drywall or cement board with no special requirements.  It can be used for exterior and interior wall sheathing, roof and floor decking and wet walls and readily accepts direct application of traditional finishing materials such as paint, stucco or drywall texture.  As a silicate free material, Magboard has numerous physical properties very important to builders and their customers.

There's Only One Magboard

Magboard is special formulation of Magnesium Oxide Board (MgO Board) a versatile material commonly used throughout Asia for residential and commercial construction.  Magboard has significantly improved the strength of common MgO board to create a product that can be used as a structural sheathing like Plywood or OSB.  It is rated as a non combustible material with 0 flame spread and 0 smoke generation in various assemblies with up to a 2 hour fire rating.  Magboard is a hospital grade material approved as underlayment and tile backer board.  It has undergone almost three years of rigorous testing that certifies its structural and physical properties in many construction applications.  This testing was done according to ASTM standards by the world leading testing services such as Intertek NTA, Inc. and The National Tile Council.  No other MgO board in the market can match Magboard’s tested performance.

Better Performance At A Lower Installed Cost

No rot, no mold, no termites, non-combustible: Hard to achieve with common materials and practices. By using Magboard, builders can often eliminate many sub-assemblies and contractors designed to protect OSB or other sheathing materials. The use of one product to replace many saves time, lowers cost and helps the environment. In an era of stricter codes and green building, “Magboard covers it all”
