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 MagRoc™ 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.

Why is this a superior product to traditional construction materials?

In accredited third-party testing, this combination has outperformed traditional products such as wood frame and light gauge steel construction, as well as traditional OSB structural insulated panels. It can also be used to replace traditional concrete foundation and frost walls.

The system also eliminates more seasonal related work stoppages, due to the ability to assemble in cold weather and damp conditions. Our system requires less skilled labour and can be completed in a fraction of the time. A simple foundation wall can be erected in hours, as opposed to days. The panel also eliminates the interior frost wall required with concrete.

MagRoc™ Panels are fire rated at 30 minutes, without a frame, compared to the building code requirement of 15 minutes.

With the introduction of new siding products over the past 20 years, fires are becoming more severe within minutes. It is anticipated that there will be changes to the building code in the near future, requiring a minimum of 1/2" drywall on the exterior of the structural sheathing, adding cost and time to the project.

The MagRoc™ system addresses these concerns with a single product time.
