Fungus Free
Peace of Mind: It is more than just a pleasant thought. In an era of increasing fire code requirements for decking and sheathing, MagBoard is a low-cost solution. Reduced weather damage, shorter construction cycles, reduced materials inventory, all add up. more...
Fire Restistant
Common Sense: Experienced contractors know that current materials simply do not work well over time. They burn, rot, break, support mold and mildew, or are eaten by termites. Finishing requires numerous other expensive applications driving up installed costs. more...
Water Resistant
MagBoard has been subjected to a controlled immersion test where samples of 10mm and 14mm thick MagBoard were placed in closed container of water and exposed to freeze and thaw cycles for a period of 36 months. At the completion of the test, there was no appreciable change in the physical properties of MagBoard. more...
Cost Savings

Using MagBoard™ may cost less than conventional materials and methods. In commercial construction, savings come from elimination of steps in the building process. For example, where stucco or similar finishes are used, the base coat can be applied directly to MagBoard™ eliminating the need for EPS sheathing. Similar efficiencies will occur in other applications.
Since MagBoard™ is insect,fungus, and mold free, as well as fire resistant and water resistant, construction with MagBoard™ may reduce insurance premiums in the case of fire, water or insect damage.

Traditional gypsum or wood based materials begin to deteriorate and support mold growth before installation. MagBoard's™ durability is such that it can be left exposed to weather and UV for extended periods of time without product degradation
