Interior partitions
Wall linings and non-load-bearing partitions on timber or steel framing.
Complete market map
MGO board applications.
From wall lining to engineered modular systems, this matrix shows where MGO-based boards are used or evaluated in the market. It is a sourcing map—not a blanket approval for one generic board.
Common widely quoted board useProject-specific trials or custom system requiredCertified system matching evidence required
Europe
Prepare intended-use documentation, declared performance and ETA / CE route where applicable. Fire, acoustic, structural and façade evidence must match the final system and destination country.
Australia & New Zealand
Confirm NCC or NZ Building Code evidence of suitability, system scope and limitations. Bushfire, external, wet-area and structural uses must be supported by the correct product evidence.
United States & Canada
Align the intended use with IBC / IRC or Canadian code pathways and suitable ICC-ES, ASTM, NFPA, UL or CAN/ULC evidence as required by the project.
01
Interior & fit-out
Common dry-construction and finishing applications. Wet-area and fire-resistance claims still depend on the tested board or assembly.
Internal wall lining
Direct or framed lining for residential, commercial and modular interiors.
Fixed & suspended ceilings
Ceiling boards and substrates, with span and fixing schedule confirmed.
Shafts & service enclosures
Protective linings around building services within a suitable system.
Wet areas & tile backer
Bathroom, shower, laundry, kitchen and tile substrates within tested exposure limits.
Decorative wall panels
Substrate for paint, coating, veneer, laminate or printed finishes.
Acoustic wall & ceiling panels
Perforated, slotted or laminated components within an acoustic system.
Fire door & access panel cores
Mineral core components where the completed door or panel is certified.
Cabinet, counter & furniture substrate
Specialist mineral substrate use subject to machining and finish trials.
02
Exterior envelope
Exterior performance depends on coating, joints, flashings, cavity, fixings, climate and the exact approved wall system.
Non-structural exterior sheathing
Backing board to framed walls behind a suitable weather-protective system.
Structural wall sheathing
Load-resisting sheathing only within evaluated fastener, frame and design values.
Braced & shear walls
Racking, wind or seismic resistance only where specifically evaluated.
Rainscreen façade substrate
Board behind ventilated cladding systems with compatible membranes and fixings.
Render, stucco & coating substrate
Base for compatible reinforced render or high-build coating systems.
Cladding backing board
Substrate for direct-fixed or cavity-based wall cladding systems.
Eaves, soffits & canopies
Protected horizontal external linings, including selected balcony soffits.
Basement & crawlspace lining
Moisture-conscious lining where exposure, drainage and ventilation are controlled.
Bushfire-conscious wall systems
Australian BAL or wildfire-related use only as part of a tested construction.
03
Floors & roofs
Horizontal applications need evidence for loads, supports, fasteners, impact, moisture movement and long-term durability.
Floor underlayment
Overlay on a code-compliant structural subfloor beneath suitable finishes.
Tile & stone substrate
Stable substrate for compatible waterproofing, adhesive and tile systems.
Structural subfloor
Tongue-and-groove or square-edge panels only with evaluated span and loading.
Raised access floors
Panel or core applications for commercial access-floor systems.
Mezzanine & modular floors
Floor panel components designed as part of an engineered structure.
Roof sheathing
Structural or non-structural roof deck use only with specific product evaluation.
Roof cover board
Protective board above insulation or deck within a compatible roof assembly.
Insulated roof panel facers
Facing or skin for composite roof panels after bonding and system tests.
Balcony & terrace substrate
Selected protected floor substrates with complete drainage and waterproofing.
04
Off-site & engineered systems
Factory-made systems value repeatable dimensions and mineral surfaces, but the completed system—not the board alone—must be qualified.
Structural insulated panels (SIPs)
Interior or exterior facers for engineered insulated panel systems.
Sandwich & composite panels
Bonded skins around mineral wool, foam or other engineered cores.
Volumetric modular buildings
Walls, floors and ceilings for factory-built room modules.
Prefab & panelised homes
Repeatable sheathing and lining for timber or light-gauge steel panels.
Tiny homes & ADUs
Compact residential systems subject to the destination building code.
Bathroom & utility pods
Factory-finished wet-area modules with compatible waterproofing.
Container conversions
Interior lining and panel components for engineered conversion systems.
Cold-room & clean-room panels
Hygienic or insulated panel facers after moisture and finish validation.
Fire-protective composite panels
Components of tested enclosure, compartmentation or equipment systems.
05
Commercial, industrial & specialist
These sectors can use MGO-based boards or systems, but specifications are often project-specific and may require additional third-party approval.
Multifamily & student housing
Repeatable wall, ceiling, floor and modular assemblies for dense housing.
Hotels, schools & healthcare
Durable interior substrates and tested fire or acoustic systems.
Warehouses & industrial buildings
Wall, roof and protective lining components within engineered systems.
Data centres & service rooms
Fire-conscious partitions, equipment enclosures and access-floor components.
Agricultural buildings
Humidity-conscious linings where corrosion and cleaning conditions are assessed.
Food-processing interiors
Substrates for hygienic finishes after cleaning and chemical compatibility review.
Marine & ship interiors
Bulkhead, ceiling or cabin components only with applicable marine certification.
Rail, tunnel & infrastructure
Fire-protective or lining boards only to the project authority’s tested requirements.
Temporary & relocatable buildings
Panels for site offices, classrooms, shelters and other relocatable systems.
