BENEFITS OF MAGNESIUM SULPHATE SHEATHING
Our MgO sheathing boards are engineered for outstanding protection and performance in external wall systems. Manufactured from high-quality magnesium oxide, they deliver exceptional fire, moisture, and weather resistance – ensuring long-term strength and stability for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
FIREPROOF
A sustainable, non-flammable alternative for both residential and commercial projects. MgS boards resist fire for up to 2–3 hours, remaining stable at 800 °C and non-igniting until 1200 °C.
WATER-RESISTANT
Sulfrock boards retain structural integrity when exposed to moisture, preventing warping, swelling, and delamination.
NON-TOXIC
Free from fly ash, formaldehyde, crystalline silica, and other toxins – providing a safer, cleaner construction environment.
TERMITE-PROOF
Naturally resistant to moisture, fire, mould, and pests; ensuring lasting protection against warping, swelling, or decay.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Manufactured from natural compounds, our boards are recyclable and landfill-safe, classified as ‘nutritional waste’. Tested through 36 months of freeze / thaw cycles, they perform reliably all year round.
FUNGUS-RESISTANT
Antimicrobial properties protect against mould, mildew, and rot. Chloride-free formulation prevents corrosion and material expansion.
