EXACOR™ Subflooring
EXACOR subfloor panels are fire-resistant[1], high-density, structural magnesium oxide cement panels. When used as a subfloor, EXACOR™ panels can replace plywood and/or OSB subflooring in certain assemblies and can remove the need for gypsum underlayment.

02 What Is MgO
Magnesium oxide (MgO) offers simple strength and streamlined installation for a building panel with exceptional workability.
MgO panels are cementitious panels that are primarily made of inorganic materials reinforced with layers of glass fiber mesh. EXACOR™ MgO panels are manufactured to provide a streamlined solution for strength, fire resistance and sound performance.
-
Speed & Ease of Installation
Installs with just a single trade and can eliminate the need for gypsum underlayment.
-
Sound Absorption
Can help achieve sound ratings when used as a part of a STC/IIC-tested floor/ceiling assembly.
-
Fire Resistance[1]
Provides fire resistance as part of fire-resistance-rated floor/ceiling assemblies.
-
Dimensional Stability
Withstands exposure to moisture and does not warp, expand, cup or delaminate like other (wood) panels do.
-
Inherent Strength
Contains a proprietary layered mesh reinforcement for added structural value.
-
Quality Assurance
Manufactured under a quality control program with inspections by ICC-ES and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to ensure consistent product performance.
-
Optimize Material & Labor Costs
High-performing material that may save time and help reduce materials and trades needed to install.
03 How to Install
Installs like wood with no need for gypsum underlayment.
Unlike gypsum underlayment, EXACOR subfloor panels do not require a cure time that can slow or halt construction progress. That means installation in less time, with less material and from a single trade — no extra tools or skills needed. If they’ve been installing with wood as subflooring, they’re going to love EXACOR MgO panels.
