What is the new MagWall™ System?

Mag-WallThis new MagWall™ system is a patent pending proprietary system, recently developed in Canada. This system was developed to address concerns and deficiencies related to residential and commercial construction.

These panels can be used to replace any type of residential or commercial building envelope (wall), including basement foundation and frost walls, as well as many roof applications.
 

What is a MagWall™ SIP?

Structural Insulated Panels are a composite building material (magnesium oxide board). They consist of a sandwich of two layers of structural board with an insulating foam in between. They are made with MagBoard™ sheathing. These are structural sheaths that can be finished like drywall on the interior, and covered with siding materials or have stucco applied directly to the exterior of the panel. When the panel is used for basement or foundation walls, foundation spray can be applied directly to the surface.

Advantages

  • FAST construction, with less reliance on highly skilled trades.
  • ELIMINATES framing, insulating, vapour barrier installation and wall cribbing.
  • ENERGY EFFICIENT - Up to 40% heat loss reduction vs stick built. Significant heating and cooling savings. Less temperature fluctuation, less drafty, provides an excellent sound barrier creating a more comfortable living environment.
  • SUPERIOR structural strength to stick built. Performs better under extreme weather conditions - earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. Less material waste and handling. Superior wall strength. No nail pops. Cabinetry and pictures easier to hang.
  • Interior and exterior walls can be finished without additional sheathing - eliminates costly steps and additional materials. Available with wood and grain outside wall finish.
 

Technical Specifications

Energy efficiency

  • EPS insulation is used as the core of the panel.
  • EPS holds a true R-value of 3.75 per inch.
  • 6 7/16" panels provide R-22 insulating value.
  • 8" panels provide R-28.
  • 10" panels provide R36.

Electrical and Plumbing Installations

Each MagWall panel is designed with factory pre-cut electrical chases running vertically in the EPS foam at 16 inches on centre. This allows for installations at intervals similar to conventional construction situations.
