Unlocking the Potential: Best Practices for Installing, Fastening, Sealing, and Finishing MgO Boards

 MgO boards, commonly referred to as magnesium oxide boards, are becoming increasingly popular as flexible and robust construction materials. They are an effective choice for many applications because of their exceptional strength, fire resistance, and moisture resistance.  It is advised to employ a combination of mechanical and adhesive fasteners to provide a safe and solid installation. Before joining the boards, prime the frame with construction glue designed for MgO boards to help form a solid connection. To ensure uniform dispersion of the glue, apply it in zigzag motions throughout the board's rear surface.

To physically secure the boards to the frame, use galvanized nails or stainless steel screws in addition to glue. To avoid sagging and guarantee a consistent installation, fasteners should be positioned at regular intervals throughout the perimeter.MgO boards' exposed edges need special consideration during installation. These margins are susceptible to harm from moisture intrusion. Applying a high-quality edge sealer or primer made especially for MgO boards is advised to protect the edges. The sealer or primer creates a barrier of protection, improving the installation's overall ability to resist moisture and increasing the life of the MgO boards. Make sure the borders are completely covered to stop any water entry.It's time to think about the final touches once the MgO boards have been firmly mounted. The boards must have a suitable primer or sealer applied to the surface to increase their resistance to moisture, mold, and other environmental variables. Follow the application instructions and drying guidelines provided by the manufacturer.

Once you have applied the primer or sealer, choose paint or finishing product that is appropriate for MgO boards. To obtain the required visual appeal and long-lasting durability, use premium exterior-grade paint or specialized MgO board paint. To apply paint properly, pay attention to the manufacturer's directions on how many coats to apply and how long each coat will take to dry.
