Dragonboard is a magnesium oxide board, or MgO board. It is a sheathing product that can be used for wall and ceiling linings, fascias, soffits, tile backing and
underlayment among other things. It's a fantastically versatile, durable, non-toxic, fire resistant material that is also resistant to mold and mildew. What's not to like about it?
Dragonboard is available in various thicknesses, sheet sizes and finises. It comes white, beige or light gray in color, and has a hard sound when tapped.
Though it's very popular in Asia, not much MgO board is used in North America - yet. But with its advantages such as fire rating, versatility and mold resistance, it is certain to catch on quickly. One wall system manufacturer I represent, E-Wall, has recently begun using Dragonboard for its external sheathing component and they are very pleased with it.
