• Conventional structural insulated panels are essentially the structural core of a wall. MagWall is the wall. With MagWall – no additional sheathing is required on the interior of the wall and no additional sheathing or finishing is required on the exterior of the wall. (unless the design calls for finishing) Both the interior and exterior of the wall are non combustible and have more than double the fire rating of an OSB SIP with conventional drywall applied. • MagWall uses MagBoardTM as sheathing. Unlike conventional SIPS that use OSB or plywood – Magboard is non combustible, is moisture resistant and does not rot or mould. 4. How much does MagWall weigh? Answer: A typical 4′ x 8′ x 6.5″ panel weighs about 180 lbs.
