The Difference with MgO Boards
- Stops fire spread. Will not burn-standard 65 minute fire rating-two hour rating available
- Walls will stop fires from spreading from interior to exterior and exterior to interior
- Highly energy efficient
- Solid construction results in fewer thermal breaks
- Smaller HVAC equals lower utility costs
- Mould & mildew resistant
- Extremely low VOC emission (no offgassing)
- Durable and structurally superior
- Fast, simplified construction, less time to lockup
- A green building technology-less waste on the job site
- Can reduce or eliminate the need for concrete
- Can be interior finished with mud and tape, drywall, or a textured finished
- Can be easily exterior finished with batons, paint, stucco, or siding
- Available in various thicknesses. Most commonly 6 5/8" thick or 8 1/4" thick
- Faster than framing
- Eliminates steel stud framing, insulating, & vapor barrier
- Strong fire protection and ability to prevent fire spread
- Mould and mildew resistant
- Rust and corrosion resistant
- Suitable for conventional or "walk out" basement applications
- Walls have far superior thermal resistance vs concrete
- No need for interior frost wall means a more spacious basement
- Windows of all sizes can be installed
- Electrical chases are 16" on center
- Conventional weeping tile systems and peel and stick systems are utilized
- No special back fill requirement. back fill after slab and main floor are installed
- For extra comfort, install a panel floor as well
- Backfill up to 8 ft. is standard on 8 ft. or 9 ft. walls, higher backfills can be engineered
- Highly advantageous for winter construction - less hoarding and heating & faster to lock up
- Footings must be smooth and level
- Walls fit directly over the pressure treated base plate
- Conventional engineered main floor systems are used.
- A truly friendly product for the do-it-yourselfer
- Salt resistant
- Use your interior walls, with a 230lb load capacity per screw
- Easier mechanical installation
- Flexible aesthetics help beat architectural constraints
- Higher capital costs, equal extremely reduced operating costs
- Thermal mass inside your interior, equal reduced heat recovery when doors open / close
