EXACOR™ Underlayment

EXACOR™ underlayment panels are specifically engineered to meet the fire-rating[1], sound-rating[1] and dimensional stability requirements of most multifamily and light commercial jobsites. Made of magnesium oxide and an integrated mesh core, EXACOR underlayment panels are fire resistant[2]. In addition, EXACOR underlayment panels can offer a base for floor coverings that can eliminate the need for gypsum underlayment and the jobsite delays that may come with it.

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.

Learn More About MgO

  • 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[2]

    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.
