Innovation MgO Floor Panels

Innovation MgO Floor Panels offer a structural, smooth, and fire resistant flooring underlayment solution that replaces wood-based, gypsum-based, Portland cement panels, and poured gypsum products. Comprised of a proprietary magnesium oxide (MgO) cement, Innovation MgO Floor Panels offer superior fire resistance, structural strength, and sound deadening than the alternatives.

Unlike traditional underlayment products, Innovation MgO Floor Panels can be installed prior to completion of the roof or level above as rain and weather will not damage the panels over the course of normal construction. Innovation MgO Floor Panels are also more durable and resistant to damage and biological degradation than other systems, making them an ideal material for multifamily projects being constructed in wet or cold weather conditions. Panels are installed using traditional tools and methods and easily attach to metal or wood studs.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS & TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS

Innovation MgO Floor Panels provide structural support and fire resistance in 1/2″ panels for underlayment use in multifamily buildings. Unlike fire-retardant-treated wood (FRTW) sheets, Innovation MgO Floor Panels panels will char, not burn, and maintain their structural integrity when exposed to fire. Panels may be used for both fire resistance and structural strength in underlayment applications.

In a fire event, panels absorb large amounts of heat, contributing to a delay in fire and smoke spread. Innovation MgO Floor Panels provide occupants and emergency personnel with additional time to evacuate and perform life-saving rescues in the event of a fire event.

Innovating the Construction Industry

One area where Innovation MgO Floor Panels significantly outperform the competition is in their ability to be installed prior to completion of the roof or floor above. Unlike wood and gypsum-based products, including poured gypsum underlayment systems, Innovation MgO Floor Panels will not deteriorate or receive damage from rain and weather conditions when left exposed to the elements. Panels remain dimensionally stable and smooth over the course of normal construction, as opposed to alternative products that can deteriorate, delaminate, and experience fungal growth due to exposure to moisture.

Advanced Structural Strength & Stability

Innovation MgO Floor Panels outperform wood and gypsum-based and Portland cement panels in flexural strength and dimensional stability out-of-the-box. These benefits become increasingly valuable over the course of a project’s construction as alternative products will deteriorate and degrade due to weather and foot traffic.

Innovation MgO Floor Panels are an ideal solution for multifamily project teams that can benefit from the panels’ industry-leading flexural strength and dimensional stability. Specifying Innovation MgO Floor Panels with these attributes in mind enables architects and designers to save time and cost through innovative designs.

Innovative Applications

Replace Poured Gypsum

Unlike poured gypsum underlayment systems, Innovation MgO Floor Panels require no curing time. Installers can simply fasten panels to wood or metal joists and continue working on walls and ceilings above, saving days and weeks on the project's schedule. Innovation MgO Floor Panels install using traditional tools and methods, such as circular saws and screw guns, eliminating the need for large trucks and messy liquid systems that can delay work on the jobsite.

Save Labor Time

Installers are able to fasten Innovation MgO Floor Panels to the metal or wood joists in all weather conditions, even without a roof on the building or floor above. Wood-based products will experience some deterioration in these conditions, and poured gypsum systems will have to wait for dry weather.

Improve Indoor Air Quality

Innovation MgO Floor Panels provide added fire resistance to the subfloor and underlayment systems of commercial and multifamily buildings. Panels are naturally fire-resistive and provide no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or harmful offgasses that could negatively impact indoor air quality.
