2. Magnesium oxide wallboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_oxide_wallboard

   Magnesium oxide, more commonly called magnesia, is a mineral that when used as part of a cement mixture and cast into thin cement panels under proper curing procedures and practices can be used in residential and commercial building construction. Some versions are suitable for general building uses and for applications that require fire ...

3. Rigid panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_panel

   A multi-family residential building under construction with rigid panel exterior insulating sheathing. Rigid panel insulation, also referred to as continuous insulation, [1] can be made from foam plastics such as polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool.

   SIP is a sandwich structured composite, consisting of an insulating layer of rigid core sandwiched between two layers of structural board. The board can be sheet metal, fibre cement, magnesium oxide board (MgO), plywood or oriented strand board (OSB), and the core can either be expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), extruded polystyrene foam (XPS ...

6. Cement board - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_board

   A cement board is a combination of cement and reinforcing fibers formed into sheets, of varying thickness that are typically used as a tile backing board. [1] Cement board can be nailed or screwed to wood or steel studs to create a substrate for vertical tile and attached horizontally to plywood for tile floors, kitchen counters and backsplashes.

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Faster construction than stick-built house. Less lumber required. Insulate acoustically. Impermeable to moisture. Can truck prefabricated panels to construction site and assemble on site. Create shell of solid insulation around house, while reducing bypasses common with stick-frame construction. The result is an inherently energy-efficient house.
