About Innovation MgO
The Innovation MgO series of products was launched in early 2024 to introduce innovative MgO panel products into the North American design and construction industries. Comprised of a proprietary magnesium oxychloride (MOC) cement formula and other inorganic materials, Innovation MgO panels are supported by the most rigorous product manufacturing, testing, and quality control standards in the market.
Innovation MgO panels outperform wood-based, gypsum-based, and Portland cement-based panels in many technical categories including structural strength, durability, and fire resistance. Panels are naturally fire-resistive, provide industry-leading flexural strength and dimensional stability, and provide high durability as they withstand weather conditions better than alternatives.
Innovation MgO 1/2″ Wall Panels are approved for exterior and interior use in all building types I, II, III, IV, & V and are easily installed using traditional tools and methods. One panel can be used in a multitude of exterior and interior wall applications and attaches easily to both metal and wood studs, reducing hassle, and saving both time and money.
