MgO Corps wishes to start 2015 clearly & openly expressing to all members looking to build with SIPs using mgo skins the need to be vigilant & not blind or mislead about the quality & standards of everyday mgo products. During 2014 MgO Corp carried out extensive testing which has led to our organization no longer accepting mgo manufacturer or suppliers stated performances of the products they make & distribute. Comprehensive test data proves that over 95% of mgo products are not suitable for the applications they are promoted & sold to the consumer for. WARNING: SGS Accredited testing under taken by MgO Corp under the guidelines of the American ICC-ES Standards for use as an Exterior and Wet Area Lining (ASTM C1185/86) clearly ruled out the use of (ALL) tested Common / Standard mgo products !! That's correct, All High Quality Test Samples failed to pass all the ASTM guidelines notably water permeability. As a resulted MgO Corp has developed a full range of specific engineered "Fit for Purpose" products that have been fully tested & approved under all aspects of ASTM C1185/86, accredited by CodeMark & under ICC for use in all areas of building & construction in America, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia & Sweden including Exterior & Wet Area Linings. MgO Corp over the past 6yrs has invested heavily into understanding all the characteristics & performances of mgo when utilized in SIP &, Panelized Systems so as to firstly mitigate risk to our company & our clients and secondly to be able to deliver a product that will truly deliver the performances we promote to the best of its ability. MgO Corp found out the hard way also that the vast majority of supporting ISO & Testing Documents supplied by so called manufactures & trading houses are fake or been changed to show a result the buyer has asked for. It take only 5 minutes of your time ring the appropriate 3rd Party accreditation authority as well as the testing laboratory & gain clear confirmation that the products you are buying are indeed genuine & approved for the applications you wish to use it in. The above is meant to open your eyes to be aware of what is really going on in the global mgo world and has been doing so unchecked for to long. Like any product you can get good and bad. Just be careful and be aware "that cheap can turn into expensive" when building. A Fully Accredited and 3rd Party Audited Magnesium Oxide Board Product that has all the Acoustic, Impact, Fire, Water, VOC & Structural Engineering Data will deliver to your next project amazing long term performance well beyond the traditional Gypsum, FC Drywall & you will enjoy a healthier and safer place to live and work for generations to come.

A MgO SIP house just went up near me. I should ask for a sample and do some testing. They claim that the price is the same as other building materials (such as block and SCIP), but I didn't get exact figures.

jonr I think it's time to post pics of said MgO SIP project!
