Once known primarily for fire resistance and durability, modern magnesium oxide (MgO) sheathing is now emerging as a reliable, system-level solution that improves thermal performance, reduces thermal bridging and supports today’s high-performance wall designs.
Magnesium oxide panels are drawing renewed interest as a durable, fire-resistant alternative to traditional board materials. Advances in manufacturing and performance are prompting contractors and designers to reconsider where MgO fits in modern wall assemblies.
