EXACOR™ Wall Sheathing

EXACOR wall sheathing panels are fire-resistant[1], high-density, structural magnesium oxide cement panels. When used as an exterior wall sheathing, EXACOR™ panels can replace other sheathing materials in certain assemblies, potentially reducing the number of layers required.

Limitations and restrictions apply to EXACOR™ sheathing used in exterior walls of Type III Construction that are greater than 40ft in height above grade plane. Please refer to ESL-1290 for more information on the use of EXACOR sheathing in NFPA 285 assemblies. EXACOR sheathing is not approved for use on Type I or II buildings except as noted in ESR 4635.

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

  • 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 Laboratories (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.
