Magnesium oxide board is a new type of inorganic board. It can be regarded as an upgraded or differentiated alternative to traditional gypsum boards, fiber cement boards, calcium silicate boards, or OSB boards. It is widely used in building applications such as internal partition walls, suspended ceilings, flooring, fire-resistant boards,SIP boards and fire-resistant door core board.
What are the proper storage guidelines for Magnesium Oxide (MGO) Boards?
To preserve MGO board quality, always store them flat on a level pallet in a dry, indoor area. Never place panels directly on the ground or store them leaning vertically, as this prevents warping and moisture damage. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, keep the stack elevated, fully covered with a waterproof tarp, and ensure airflow to prevent condensation. Avoid stacking piles too high to prevent crushing. Following these steps ensures your boards remain in perfect condition for installation.
How long will it take from order to delivery?
Lead times vary depending on your order: •For standard sizes, we can ship as soon as we receive your deposit. •For custom sizes, we'll need about 15 days to produce your order. To ensure the highest quality, every custom order goes through a complete process of formation, curing, and careful cutting.
Are Magnesium Oxide (MGO) Boards classified as A1-level non-combustible?
High-quality Magnesium Oxide (MGO) boards fully meet Europe's EN 13501-1 fire safety standard with A1 non-combustible classification — the highest for building materials, non-combustible under any conditions. Key fire performance: non-ignitable, flame spread prevention, no significant toxic fumes at extreme temperatures (ensuring safe evacuation). Ideal for fire-rated assemblies, exterior walls, and high-fire-safety-demand structures like schools, hospitals, and high-rises.
What is the difference between Magnesium Sulfate, and Magnesium chloride boards?
V*MGO boards utilize magnesium sulfate (MGSO₄), a superior choice over traditional magnesium chloride (MGCl₂). This sulfate-based formula is inherently less corrosive and more moisture-stable, effectively eliminating the "weeping" that can damage building components. The result is long-term reliability and performance.
What are the advantages of MGO board compared to traditional cement board?
MGO board offers significant upgrades over traditional cement board. It is lighter in weight for easier handling, yet boasts superior flexural and impact strength, reducing breakage. While both are non-combustible, MGO board is more resistant to mold and mildew, making it ideal for humid environments. A key advantage is its smoother, more consistent surface that requires less finishing labor. Unlike some cement boards, high-quality MGO formulations are designed to be non-corrosive to metal fasteners.
Can Magnesium Oxide (MGO) Board be used for flooring applications?
Yes, absolutely. MGO board is an excellent, versatile substrate for various flooring systems. Its key advantages for flooring include: •Exceptional Strength and Stiffness: Provides a solid, durable underlayment that resists flexing and impact. •Moisture and Mold Resistance: Unlike traditional wood-based substrates, it won't rot or foster mold, protecting floor coverings. •Perfectly Flat Surface: Ensures a smooth, level base for tile, vinyl, hardwood, or other finished flooring. •Fire Safety: Adds a non-combustible layer to the floor assembly. It is commonly used as an underlayment over joists or concrete slabs.
