And like all Magnum Board products, Magnum Sheathing is virtually impervious to fire, water, insects; does not feed mold or mildew; is non-toxic; provides dimensional stability even when wet; and an exceptional bonding surface. No more worrying about shrinkage if installed wet or damp. Magnum Soffit For use over metal or wood framed exteriors, Magnum Soffit is easily installed using either manual or pneumatic (strongly recommended) tools. Magnum Soffit,

like all Magnum Board products is virtually impervious to fire, water, insects; does not feed mold or mildew; is non-toxic; provides dimensional stability even when wet; and an exceptional bonding surface. Got rain at the job site? No problem with Magnum Soffit. It can be installed wet or dry without the worry of shrinkage as it dries. Magnum Fascia For use over metal or wood framed exteriors Magnum® Fascia is easily installed using either manual or pneumatic (strongly recommended) tools. Magnum Fascia, like all Magnum Board products is virtually impervious to fire, water, insects; does not feed mold or mildew; is non-toxic; provides dimensional stability even when wet; and an exceptional bonding surface. Got rain at the job site? No problem with Magnum® Fascia. It can be installed wet or dry without the worry of shrinkage as it dries.

Magnum Wallboard & Ceiling Board For use over metal or wood framing, Magnum® Wallboard and Magnum® Ceiling Board is easily installed using either manual or pneumatic (strongly recommended) tools. Magnum Wallboard and Magnum Ceiling Board, like all Magnum Board products are virtually impervious to fire, water, insects; do not feed mold or mildew; are non-toxic; provides dimensional stability even when wet; and an exceptional bonding surface. Because of their smooth and durable surfaces, a level 5 drywall finish can be achieved with little effort. Magnum Board finishes can include painting, interior stucco, brick, tile, wall paper and other finish applications. Magnum Backer and Underlayment For use over metal or wood framed walls and floors; and as an underlayment for counter and vanity tops. Magnum Backer and Underlayment are excellent for use in wet or damp areas such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, basements and pool areas because they are virtually impervious to fire, water and insects; will not feed mold or mildew; and are non toxic. They provide excellent dimensional stability, bonding surface capability and durability. Finishes can include such products as latex paints, wall paper and tiles of all types. For tile applications use only thinset mortor adhesives. Avoid using Type 1 or Type 2 organic mastic adhesives which are significantly inferior to thinset Magnum Shaft-liner & Area Separation Wall Sheathing For use over metal or wood framing, Magnum Shaft-liner, like all Magnum Board Products, is virtually impervious to fire, water, insects; does not feed mold or mildew; is non-toxic, non-flammable and non-combustible. Magnum Shaft-liner and Area Separation Wall panels are ideal for use in moisture prone vertical and horizontal shaft wall assemblies, stairwell and area separation wall applications. Based on fire testing, approximately one-half of Magnum Panel thicknesses are required to achieve fire ratings – reducing both schedule and labor costs.

Magnum Board Installation Guidelines

Storage and Handling

Even though Magnum® Board is virtually impervious to most elements, provides exceptional durability and dimensionally stabile – even when wet - for best results we recommend that you:

� Keep material dry prior to and during installation � Store flat on dunnage � Do not stack other materials on top of Magnum Board � Protect the material from jobsite dirt, and � Protect edges from damage

Cutting

Work Station

1. Position cutting station so that wind will blow dust away from user or others in working area and allow for ample dust dissipation.

2. Use one of the following methods based on the required cutting rate and jobsite conditions.

Cutting Methods

Best

� Score and snap using carbide-tipped scoring knife or utility knife (Ability to use this method depends on thickness of Magnum Board being installed.)

� Fiber-cement shears (electric or pneumatic).

Better

� Dust reducing circular saw equipped with appropriate blade and HEPA vacuum extraction.

Good (for low to moderate cutting only)

� Dust reducing circular saw with appropriate saw blade.

NOTES: Always use correct tools when executing cutting operations. Even though Magnum Board is a non-toxic building material, ALWAYS wear a dusk mask, safety glasses and follow MSDS Guidelines.

Problems Associated with Traditional Building Structures.

Magnesium oxide Board greatly assists against or eliminates the following:

Mould and Fungus: Mold not only brings the obvious health risks both immediate and long-term, also musty odours, material breakdown and costly and potentially ongoing repairs. Anywhere where we live and work we generate moisture. Kitchens, bathrooms, pool rooms etc. are particularly vulnerable to moisture damage, mould and rot. Research in the USA shows more than $25B is spent annually on mold replacement materials and an additional $25b annually in healthcare costs associated with mold and mildew.

Fire: Traditional structures burn rapidly. In most cases the fire fighters arrive in the hope of preventing spread of fire to neighbouring property. The fire victim often loses all or most personal effects, sometimes irreplaceable heirlooms. In extreme cases LOSS of LIFE. The results of fire can be very traumatic, heartbreaking, devastating and disruptive.

Enormous costs: Fires have an enormous social and economic cost. According to a recent study by the Institute for Research in Construction, the estimated total annual cost of fires in Canada is more than $11 billion, including close to $3 billion in losses. Before buying a building, check what fire protection systems it has. The amount of protection depends on two main variables:

� Fire resistance of material; ( Magnesium oxide Board is proven to be non-combustible)

� Presence and layout of fire-fighting equipment.

Indoor Pollution: Off-gassing by materials used in new construction can be problematic for hyper-sensitive and allergy prone individuals. We do not fully understand health implications associated with materials used in modern construction. OSB and Plywood are held together by glues which contain formaldehyde. Formaldehyde off-gases under temperature fluctuations. Formaldehyde is TOXIC and a probable cancer agent. It is also found in insulation and some carpet products. (See excerpt from Wikipedia below).

Drywall: Let’s face it folks, drywall is a pain! It’s fragile, damages easily, requires constant spackle and paint repairs, is messy and the dust gets into everything. Drywall is wasteful – approximately 20% waste plus dumping fees. Drywall is EXTREMELY MESSY, requires LENGTHY drying time. This can impact on construction financing if it carries over into another month. Many contractors would replace drywall if they could. The difference between Magnum Board and gypsum is generally gypsum takes long to finish and the process is very messy, time consuming and expensive. Magnum Board only requires the seams and fastener holes be finished

and that is quick and easy to do. You can achieve a level 5 wall finish with little effort and quickly. The installed cost is much lower than using gypsum.

Drywall is NOT GREEN and rapidly grows and feeds mould. It is environmentally unfriendly, messy and dusty.

Impact Damage: Surfaces like drywall are vulnerable to impact damage and require constant maintenance and sometimes panel replacement as a result of impact. Up to now solutions to impact damage have been expensive and relatively ineffective. This is inconvenient, messy, and disruptive, not to mention money wasted and lost to an inferior product like drywall. High traffic environments like schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants etc. suffer damage to drywall: holes in the walls, water damage and toxic materials used.

Water Damage: Drywall needs to be replaced as it does not dry when wet and becomes structurally compromised. Will in most cases grow mould and has to be removed and replaced in medical environments after it gets wet. This shuts the affected area down during remediation and causes inconvenience and expense.

De-lamination, Warping and Rot: When OSB (pressed Board), Plywood and wood are subjected to the elements, they suffer breakdown and loss of structural integrity in one form or another. These materials require constant maintenance (loss of time and money). Lengthy exposure to moisture causes de-lamination, warping, mould and rot both inside and outside. Exposure to direct sunlight or heat and temperature fluctuations freezing/thawing causes de-lamination, splintering and warping. Cement board is made in layers and also delaminates. For example if you screw it into a structure, over time, the layers bubble around the screw or nail and the wall puffs out making it unsightly. For example: Warping of underlying roofing or floor panels can cause leaks and extensive damage in buildings.

Salt: Winter temperature fluctuations, freezing/thawing and chemicals such as ice melt and salt can damage buildings and surfaces. This means constant maintenance.

Insects: Insects such as ants, termites and certain beetles feed on wood and sometimes even nest in it. This requires expense, vigilance, maintenance, use of control toxins which are potentially harmful to children and domestic animals.

If these problems are not spotted and dealt with early, they can cause severe loss which may not be covered by insurance or warranty.

Rodents: Rodents cause damage, bring disease and also require use of toxic chemicals, expense and time to control. These chemicals also pose risk to children and domestic animals as well as non-target wildlife.

Noise Pollution: This is especially pronounced in multi unit environments such as schools, apartments, offices and mixed use environments. Solutions are complex and expensive.

Formaldehyde (from wikipedia): Formaldehyde is a common building block for the synthesis of more complex compounds and materials. Formaldehyde is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that there is "sufficient evidence" that occupational exposure to formaldehyde causes nasopharyngeal cancer in humans.
