Megaboard Subfloor is a high-performance structural building panel which delivers exceptional performance and value for both steel and wood frame construction.

On steel frame, Megaboard is used in place of a traditional metal deck and gypcrete pour, creating dramatic reductions in construction time, weight and cost.

On wood frame, Megaboard can be used in place of a plywood or OSB deck with gypcrete pour. As well as creating significant reductions in construction weight and cost, Megaboard’s durability and water resistance will contribute significantly to a streamlined building schedule.

Features

included

Non-Combustible

Non-combustible per IAPMO listings (ASTM E136 – Non-Combustible) for use in fire-rated floor/ceiling assemblies. IBC & IRC approved, with more than 30 UL/ULC listed assemblies up to 2 hours.

included

Structural Performance

Exceptional span strength for use across a 24” span, along with exceptional diaphragm strength for lateral building rigidity.

included

Quick & Simple to Install

Can be single trade fitted and remove the need for a gypsum underlayment.

included

Water, Mold & Insect Resistant

Inorganic cementitious materials will not grow mold (per ASTM G 21 0/0), and ensure zero nutritional value for complete resistance to termites and all wood-boring insects.

included

Sound Insulating

A unique formulation which can help building designers and contractors achieve critical sound ratings, with the ability to reach 55+ STC/IIC rated floor/ceiling assemblies.

included

Dimensionally Accurate & Stable

Manufactured to class-leading tolerances for on- and off-site precision. Resistance to water means panels remains structural while wet, and will not delaminate, warp, expand or bow.
