Скачать или смотреть TechBoard®: Magnesium Cement (MgO) Sheathing Explained | Fire, Moisture & Structural Performance

Better materials don’t mean a harder job.
Here’s how our team at ZS2 Technologies installs TechBoard®, a magnesium cement (MgO) sheathing that fits seamlessly into familiar framing workflows while improving durability and moisture performance. You’ll see how it attaches directly over wood framing, what tools and fasteners are typically used, and how to manage cuts, joints, and finishing for consistent, reliable results. From sizes to finishing details, this walkthrough shares field-tested best practices, without overcomplicating what already works.

Key Topics Covered:
• Handling and cutting MgO sheathing safely and efficiently
• Fastener placement and attachment to wood framing, light gauge steel or prefabricated systems
• Available sizes, thicknesses and edge profiles
• Tips for finishing, sealing, and compatibility with coatings or claddings
• How MgO sheathing behaves differently than OSB, gypsum, or fiber cement, especially in wet or high-humidity environments
• Why many builders use it as a direct upgrade when seeking improved fire and moisture performance

Sustainability in Practice:
Sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just building things that don’t fall apart. ZS2’s award-winning R&D leverages advanced magnesium cement (MgO) technology to deliver materials that perform under pressure and stand the test of time. TechBoard® has roughly one-third the carbon footprint of traditional Portland cement materials. Because it maintains its strength and performance over time, it reduces waste and replacement—proving that the most sustainable materials are the ones that don’t need to be replaced.

Ideal For:
AEC professionals focused on high-performance building envelopes and climate-resilient construction.
• Builders and framers seeking a durable, moisture-resistant alternative to OSB or gypsum.
• Architects and designers evaluating MgO systems that align with fire, water, and sustainability requirements.
• Engineers and specifiers responsible for code compliance, testing standards (ASTM E84, E119, CAN/ULC-S101, etc.), and system performance.
• Developers and project managers looking to reduce schedule risk and ensure long-term value from construction through operation.

Availability:
TechBoard® is available directly through ZS2 Technologies. Our material specialists across North America can help determine the right board size, quantity, and specification for your project and region. Boards ship directly from our manufacturing facilities to your job site for convenience and quality assurance.
