Introducing Magnesium Oxide (MgO): The panel that’s changing the design-build of multifamily structures.
02 What Is MgO
Magnesium oxide (MgO) offers simple strength and streamlined installation for a building panel with exceptional workability.
MgO panels are made primarily from MgO and added compounds and are similar to a cement panel product. When the MgO panels are formed, a controlled chemical reaction takes place that allows the boards to become solid. The result is a streamlined solution with sound, fire and strength benefits.
-
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 and time-saving material that can help reduce materials and trades needed to install.
03 Abandon Gypsum
Materials matter when you’re designing and building multifamily structures.
EXACOR™ MgO panels install in less time, with less steps, and with less mess — all while offering fire resistance[1] and sound dampening.
