SULFROCK SOLUTIONS
MgS BOARD SUBFLOOR
Non-Combustible • High Flexural Strength • High Modulus of Elasticity
Our non-combustible MgS subfloor boards provide a high-performance, single-layer alternative to fibre cement boards, plywood, OSB, and gypcrete underlayments. Designed for strength and stability, these boards can be fixed directly to timber or steel joists using corrosion-resistant screws or standard framing nails.

BENEFITS OF MgS SUBFLOOR BOARDS
Our MgS subfloor boards are engineered to deliver a strong, stable, and moisture-resistant base for a wide range of flooring systems. Whether installing hardwood, tile, vinyl, carpet, or laminate, these boards provide long-lasting structural performance alongside superior resistance to moisture, mould, and fire.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE
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.
