Presented by:
Magnesium Oxide Floor Panels for Multifamily Buildings
(HEW 302)
Course Description:
A streamlined approach to achieve acoustics and fire resistance.
All multifamily buildings must meet code requirements for fire-resistance between dwelling units and meet requirements for acoustical performance.
This course looks more closely at designing and constructing with MgO panels. We begin with a description of the material and its properties and its code compliance characteristics related to fire resistance. The sound attenuation capabilities are also reviewed. Its installation, particularly compared to wet-laid gypsum underlayment, is presented. Overall, using MgO panels are an option for specifications and design of multifamily projects around the country.
