How Does MagMatrix Sulfate MgO Compare With Other Wallboard Material?

How Does MagMatrix Sulfate MgO Compare With Other Wallboard Material? MagMatrix Sulfate MgO Board 

From the way it resists water and fire to the multiple health benefits, MagMatrix Sulfate MgO stands out ahead of all the other wallboard materials. Here’s how: 

Safer than Portland Cement. MagMatrix Sulfate MgO is water-resistant and leaves a very small carbon footprint in production- unlike Portland Cement, which leaves a huge footprint and is not water-resistant nor does it have any fire suppression capabilities.

Stronger than Portland Cement. The impact strength of MagMatrix Sulfate MgO board is rated higher than that of Portland Cement, even though MagMatrix Sulfate MgO board is lighter in weight.

Safer than Gypsum board (sheetrock). Like MagMatrix Sulfate MgO, it’s environmentally friendly – but the fly ash it’s made of is dangerous to breathe because it releases toxins (silica dust) when cut. Sheetrock is not water-resistant, either, so mold and mildew can grow on it.

Stronger than Gypsum board.

Safer than OSB. OSB can release toxins (formaldehyde!). OSB is also lacking in fire suppression properties and promotes a high degree of flame spread during fires. It also creates dangerous smoke during a fire. At the same time, it’s neither mold/mildew resistant nor termite resistant.

Stronger than OSB.

Safer than plywood. Plywood burns incredibly easily and promotes a high degree of flame spread. It allows mold and mildew to grow on it, too.

MagMatrix Sulfate MgO is Also One of the Strongest Wallboards Available 

Only MgO, plywood and OSB are strong enough to be used as structural elements in your home. But OSB is rated with a lower impact strength and plywood- well you’ve just seen how many disadvantages there are to using plywood.

Plus, contractors love working with MgO SIPs because they are lighter weight and much easier to cut with than older building components such as Portland Cement. They use it for walls, ceilings, floors, basement walls, retaining walls, and even on roofs.

By choosing MagMatrix Sulfate MgO, you can also look forward to living in a home that’s built from natural products that actually increase the structure’s energy performance.
