Magnesium oxide wall board is a technologically advanced building material that offers superior performance in every category when compared to traditional wood, gypsum and cement based products.
Magnesium Oxide Wall Panels are cementitious substrate products reinforced with magnesium oxide fibre matting.
Fire resistant magnesium oxide wallboard is a new type of refractory material. It is widely used primarily as a wallboard alternative to conventional gypsum-based drywall and plywood.
It is non combustible and fire rated Class A1. With options for up to a 2 hour fire resistance, MgO Board offers an innovative passive fire protection alternative for your construction projects.
MgO board has very good fire performance. It does not spread flames or smoke. It is noncombustible and fire-rated A1, which helps protect homeowners, tenants and building occupants while mitigating damage and loss.
Magnesium oxide wall board is made of magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride, glass fiber mesh, perlite and wood fiber.
It is an upgraded product of fireboard. A properly constructed assembly with our MgO fireproof wall board can achieve a 3-hour fireproof rating.

Cleanliness and environmental protection requirements → Focus on hospitals and food/electronic cleanrooms.
Their "multi-purpose" feature makes them a "universal board" in construction, industry, decoration, and other fields. Especially in scenarios requiring both fire protection and moisture resistance, they are an irreplaceable preferred material.
Installation Methods of Fireproof Exterior Wall MGO Board Interior Wall Panels Lightweight Magnesium Oxide Board
1. Pre-installation Preparation
Material Inspection: Verify specifications and thickness, check surface flatness (error ≤0.5mm/m) and edge verticality, ensuring no cracks or missing corners.
Tool Preparation: Electric saw, self-tapping screw gun, tape measure, straightedge, neutral silicone sealant, or special adhesive.
Keel Selection: Light steel keels (recommended) or wooden keels, with specifications determined by board thickness and wall height.
2. Main Installation Methods
① Keel Fixation Method (Recommended)
Install keels at designed spacing (vertical keels: 40-60cm, horizontal keels: ≤1.2m).
When installing boards horizontally, the notch faces upward; when installing vertically, the notch is on the right side.
Fix with self-tapping screws (spacing: 15-20cm), ensuring screws embed into keels by ≥2/3, arranged evenly.
Leave 3-5mm gaps between boards for joint treatment.
② Direct Bonding Method
Ensure the base layer is flat, clean, free of oil and dust.
Apply special MgO board adhesive or neutral silicone sealant evenly on the back of the board.
Tap the board lightly after bonding to ensure tight fit, and fix with temporary supports until curing.
3. Joint Treatment
Board Seam Treatment: First fill with joint compound, then paste glass fiber mesh, and finally level with putty.
Internal & External Corners: Use special corner protectors to ensure straight and firm lines.
Door & Window Openings: Strengthen fixation, add keels if necessary to prevent cracking.
4. Construction Notes
Wear dust masks when cutting boards to avoid inhaling dust.
Installers should wear gloves to prevent scratches from board edges.
Protect edges of hollow MgO boards during transportation to avoid core material damage.
Prohibit outdoor installation in rainy days or environments with humidity >85%.
Store boards in a moisture-proof area, raise the bottom by 10cm, stack neatly, and cover with waterproof cloth.
