Canada's Source for MgO

The Evolution of Building Panels

Picture


Beyond Drywall. Beyond OSB.

​OmniBoard™ represents the next generation of mineral board technology. Superior fire protection, absolute moisture resistance, and a healthier living environment—all in one high-performance panel.​

Unlike first-generation MgO boards that used corrosive chlorides, OmniBoard is engineered with a pure Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4​) formula. This ensures zero fastener corrosion, no salt-leaching, and total dimensional stability in the wettest Canadian climates.

Fire-Rated Security
Rated as A1 Non-Combustible. OmniBoard does not just resist fire; it stops it. With zero flame spread and zero smoke development, it provides critical life-safety time for occupants.

Water & Mold Immunity
Traditionally, water is a building's enemy. OmniBoard is vapor permeable and mold-proof. It can be submerged in water without swelling, rotting, or losing structural integrity.

Health & Sustainability
Breathe easier. Our boards are 100% free of Silica, Asbestos, and Formaldehyde. They are CO2-sequestering during production and fully recyclable, making them the choice for Passive House and LEED-certified projects.

​Built to Withstand the Realities of Construction

In British Columbia, moisture is a constant challenge. OmniBoard was selected for the CanMGO lineup specifically for its ability to withstand our coastal humidity. Whether it's a rainy build day in Vancouver or a high-exposure envelope in Victoria, OmniBoard remains dimensionally stable.
While traditional drywall and OSB act as "ticking clocks" on a rainy job site, OmniBoard™ offers total peace of mind during the build cycle.
​
  • Weather-Proof Scheduling: Panels can be installed in "open-frame" conditions and withstand long periods of exposure to rain and snow without warping, delaminating, or swelling.
  • Eliminate Rework Costs: Remove the "double-cost" of water damage—no more paying for material replacement and the labor to tear out moldy or warped gypsum.
  • Zero-Waste Durability: Maintain structural integrity throughout construction delays, significantly reducing landfill fees and material waste associated with weather-damaged boards.
  • Accelerated Drying-In: Start interior staging and installation weeks earlier; OmniBoard provides an inorganic, mold-resistant substrate that doesn't require the building to be 100% sealed to remain stable.​
Why This Matters to Your Pro Forma:
​
In the Canadian climate, construction delays aren't just a nuisance—they are a financial drain. By switching to a sulfate-based mineral board, you are investing in a material that works as hard as your crew, regardless of the weather.
