Crafting MgO Flooring
Raw Material Selection:
The journey of creating MgO flooring commences with the careful selection of raw materials. High-purity magnesium oxide, commonly derived from magnesite or seawater, serves as the primary ingredient. Additionally, various natural fibers and fillers, such as cellulose and perlite, are incorporated to enhance the board's structural integrity and fire resistance. These materials are chosen for their sustainable properties, ensuring that the production process aligns with environmental considerations.
Mixing and Forming:
The selected raw materials are mixed with water and additives to form fluid mixture. This fluid mixture is then poured into molds to achieve the desired shape and dimensions of the MgO boards. During this stage, precise control over the mixing ratios and molding process is critical to ensure consistent quality and performance in the final product. The use of advanced molding technologies allows for the creation of MgO boards with varying thicknesses and surface textures to accommodate diverse design preferences.
Pressing and Curing:
Following the molding stage, the formed MgO boards undergo pressing to remove excess water and compact the materials. This process is for raw materials under a certain pressure, so that the molecules fully reacted, can be more stable combination, to achieve a perfect state. What's more, this compression process significantly enhances the board's density and strength, contributing to its ability to withstand heavy loads and high-traffic areas. Subsequently, the boards are cured under controlled temperature and humidity conditions to facilitate the hydration of magnesium oxide, leading to the formation of crystalline structures that augment the board's robustness and resistance to environmental elements.
Finishing and Customization:
Once the MgO boards have been cured, they undergo finishing processes to refine their surface texture and appearance. This may involve cutting, sanding, coating, or embossing techniques to achieve specific size, textures and finishes tailored to the intended design and application requirements. Furthermore, customizations such as tongue and groove profiles or edge treatments are implemented to facilitate seamless installation and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the finished flooring products.
Quality Control and Testing:
Throughout the manufacturing process, rigorous quality control measures are implemented to assess the physical, mechanical, and fire-resistant properties of the MgO boards. Various testing methods, including flexural strength tests, moisture resistance evaluations, and fire performance assessments, ensure that the finished products meet industry standards and regulatory requirements. Additionally, comprehensive quality assurance protocols verify the consistency and reliability of MgO flooring across different production batches.
Materials Used in Waterproof Laminate Wall Boards
Magnesium oxide is the basic or primary component of MgO boards, but you already know that! It is a naturally occurring compound from magnesium-rich minerals such as magnesite (MgCO3). Magnesium oxide can also be obtained through the extraction of magnesium hydroxide. But, it also involves calcining the hydroxide to form MgO.
Calcining refers to the thermal treatment of solid compounds.
MgO board manufacturers use various fillers to enhance the properties of MgO boards. One of these is perlite, a naturally occurring volcanic glass.
Perlite contains a high water count. When heated to 850-900°C, it expands up to 20 times its original size. This process results in lightweight, porous material with excellent thermal properties. Compared to others, perlite is the most commonly used filler in MgO boards.
Vermiculite is another mineral that expands when exposed to heat. This hydrous phyllosilicate mineral turns into a lightweight porous mineral after thermal treatment. It also expands by approximately 6 to 20 times its size. Again, like perlite, this contributes to vermiculite's thermal properties and others.
Wood or cellulose fibers come from natural wood or plant sources. Then, manufacturers process these fibers and incorporate them into composite materials. Cellulose fibers actually contribute to structural integrity and flexibility. These fibers allow the boards to be cut and shaped more easily.
Fiberglass mesh is a network of woven fiberglass strands. Manufacturers use it in construction materials to provide reinforcement. The same goes for MgO boards! Fiberglass mesh in MgO boards increases the tensile strength of the boards and enhances durability.
Preparation
Before installing your panels, check that the walls are completely dry and if installing over ceramic tiles, ensure that they are degreased. The wall should be able to support a firm screw hold. If the surface is uneven, attach panels to battens using screws and plugs or nails. There also needs to be a vertical batten under every panel joint.
Where heavy items are to be attached to the wall, such as a hung basin or toilet, extra battens must be installed to carry these (whether the substrate is square or uneven). The battens should be placed at 600mm or 900mm vertically, and 800m horizontally.
Measuring And Cutting The Panels
The panels are easy to cut. Simply measure your walls then measure the panels and choose your cutting method:
- Jigsaw: You'll need to use this for irregular widths or to accommodate fittings. Use a firm and stable table or work bench and cut the panel with the decorative side face down.
- Handsaw: With the decorative side facing upwards, use a fine-toothed saw. The cut should only be made on the downward stroke.
- Openings/holes e.G., for pipes: The hole should have minimum 5mm clearance. Seal, even if the pipe is to be fitted with a collar. For larger holes, drill first with the largest drill possible before cutting.
Use A Base Profile In Wet Areas
A base profile must always be used in wet areas, whether a bathroom, shower or wet room. You will need to ensure that the height is adjusted, where the panel meets the ceiling.
Fixing The Panels
For a whole room installation and for best results, start fixing the panels furthest away from the door. When setting up the first panel, fix an internal corner profile to the wall and fibo sealant into both channels. Cut the tongue/groove off the edge being inserted into the profile, then cut to size from the top. Push the clean-cut panel edge firmly into the profile and fit into place.
If you're gluing directly to walls, apply fibo adhesive to the back of the panel in a zig-zag pattern.
Securing The Panels
Fix the other side of the panel to the wall or batten by screwing or nailing along the tongue, ensuring it is correctly aligned before securing. Screw/nail the panel into the wall using 1 ½ in. No.6 screws or gypsum-board nails, with 200mm space between them. The lowest screw/nail should be max 20mm from the bottom of the panel.
Apply Sealant And Click The Panels Into Place
Apply sealant when the panel is upright against the wall, next to the previously installed panel. Run a bead of sealant along the length of the panel groove and lock the two panels together into position, ensuring they're aligned.
Use the manufacturer's clean spray and wipes immediately to remove excess sealant.
Working in both directions towards the door, continue along the wall and apply sealant into each join before clicking panels into place with the aqualock tongue-and-groove system.
Finishing Off
To complete a full wall, you can either swing the final panel into position with the internal corner profile already attached and fasten to the stud or batten on the return wall.
Alternatively, fit the corner panel first and insert the last panel tongue-first on one side with the lip of the other edge removed to fit flush to the adjoining panel. Fix by gluing the back edge.
If you're only applying the panels to one section of the wall, swing the final panel into position with the end profile already attached. Ensure that sealant is applied into the profile channel first.
Once installed, the wall panels can massively reduce bacteria build-up and, thanks to a non-porous laminate covering, makes it much easier to clean and maintain. Grime and dirty grout are a thing of the past and, with the manufacturer's 25-year warranty, you can provide customers with peace of mind, and ensure a high quality and long-lasting surface.
