SMART Board

SMART Board is a multi-functional fire-resistant building material made from high purity magnesium oxide - sulfate powder, also called MgO, reinforced by glass mesh fiber and is Chloride-Free. NO Sweating, NO Corrosion when applied on steel, metal and aluminum. It can be used for several applications like ceiling, interior wall, exterior cladding, soffits, tile substrate backings, sub-flooring and a alternative to gypsum Sheetrock. SMART Board is non-combustible and can achieve 270 mins fire resistance given the correct installation. It can be used in both residential and commercial buildings. SMART Board is a versatile and environmentally friendly building material that offers exceptional properties in terms of fire resistance, water resistance, strength, durability, soundproofing, and thermal insulation. With its numerous advantages, SMART Board is revolutionizing the construction industry and providing a sustainable alternative to traditional materials like Plywood and Gypsum board. Whether for new builds or renovations, SMART Board is the smart choice for resilient, modern construction in demanding environments like The Bahamas.

SMART Board: Wall Board

is a superior alternative to gypsum sheetrock.

• It is moisture resistant

• Sanded and ready for tape, bed and paint.

• Does not dent or easily crushed or broken

• The dense and solid composition provides excellent soundproofing

• Scores and breaks like sheetrock

• Accepts nails and does not need backing

SMART Board: Sub-Flooring

A robust and reliable sub-flooring material that surpasses traditional options.

• High load-bearing capacity, allowing it to support heavy loads without compromising its structural integrity.

• Does not rot, warp, or decay when exposed to moisture

• SMART Board is inorganic and not a food source for pests, thus highly resistant to termite damage.

• Tongue and groove for stability.

Out here at Pete’s Pub in Little Harbour testing two new products: SMART Deck and SMART Board.

SMART Deck is a fiberglass-reinforced magnesium oxide panel with tongue-and-groove edges. It spans 4 feet with no flex, making it ideal for floors, roofs, or anywhere you’d use marine ply. Available in multiple sizes, colors, and woodgrain finishes.

SMART Board is a lighter-density MgO panel that cuts like drywall but won’t mold, rot, or absorb water—perfect for interior walls in humid or hurricane-prone environments.

We’re saltwater testing the deck panel for 24 hours because we don’t just claim performance—we prove it.

- Termite-proof

- Mold & rot-proof

- Non-combustible

- Made from sustainable magnesium

- Built for the harshest island conditions

If you're building coastal homes, resorts, or off-grid structures, this is the high-performance board you've been waiting for.
