We received our first shipment of the Haven’s exterior wall paneling, a new top of the line product called magnesium oxide board (MgO) from the leading US company Jet-Products. Two more counties in Nevada are now added to the list of local building departments embracing  MgO board to be used as exterior sheeting, thanks to Envirohaven’s interest in the material. Envirohaven worked with Cole Kruegar at Jet-Products  as well as the county building officials to be sure that the product met their high standards. The consensus was that it not only met their high standards, but provides added benefits not seen in traditional paneling. Now, any builder in the area interested in an alternative to traditional OSB paneling for home sheeting can consider MgO products.

Envirohaven has decided to incorporate this innovative  material in our design for several reasons: superior structural strength,  superior ratings in flame, water and mold resistance, insect resistance, and its environmentally sustainable status.

When compared to other exterior sheeting material available products Jet-Board comes out on top.

Below is a comparison chart for the most used products for paneling building on the market.
