To Build in Costa Rica

As I have told all of you, that I am aware there is no other product that has this type of certifications in place for MgO Board from any other manufacturer on the planet.  Also take note when it comes to building material certifications Australia is extremely anal so when this passes such scrutiny under that environment it is first off a validly recognized certification in over 30 other countries and even where there is no official recognition, as would be the case in Costa Rica, it still remains as empirical evidence of world class quality.  This is further evidence that as one of the world’s leading experts in MgO Steve is way ahead of the game on the global playing field.

 

Also noteworthy in the certifications department one of Steve’s clients that produces SIPs in Miami used the high density MgO sheeting skinning his panels to pass the Dade County projectile test this year as well.  FYI Dade County now has the most stringent tests on the planet that you have to pass in order to sell into that market.  Any building material/system must withstand a projectile, Eg. a 2 x 4 picked up by 200 mph+ winds and being harpooned at your home during a Category 5 hurricane.  Not a particularly relevant problem for Costa Rica hence why we don’t use this super high density board but none the less interesting that this sheeting/panel can indeed meet those made in USA standards.

 

I have no doubt that this product is the best of the best and it only continues to get better and more diverse in the product line and uses that we can put this amazing MgO product to.  Eg. our recent revelation that it acts as an EFT (electronic frequency transmissions) shield so that any home owner can rest assured they will have the least amount of EFT’s entering their home as is possible.  See my latest post on our website for full details.  http://casasenescazu.com/853/853/

 

Something else worthy of mention is that lesser developed countries like Costa Rica are notorious dumping grounds for crap grade products that typically never make it into the G20 countries.  We all know this happens and many of us have no doubt experienced it in person.  To say the least it quite pisses those of us who choose to live in such countries.  Alternative to that here we play a role in bringing the best of the best to Costa Rica with zero compromises to help anyone build a better home as well as more affordable homes, something that is to say the least, desperately needed!”

Where other sheathing product such as Gypsum and Fibre cement have very little and in most cases no structural supporting strength when applied to your building frame, our MgO Corp Board products have substantially higher structural strength in both tensile and rigidity and our products performances are not affected by the influences of moisture, heat or water which then delivers when placed a complete building system such as SIP’s is very stable and very strong against all elements.

 

We have proven this in tests here at the University of Southern Queensland, University of Technology, in our own Testing Facilities in Redcliffe (where we have tested for Earth Quake housing to go into PNG and Christchurch NZ) as well as testing has been carried out on the SIP’s using our MgO Corp Board High Strength Wall Boards as the Internal and External Skins at the University Venezuela and recent DADE County Testing.

 

I am sure that Trevor’s team will have the engineering for the dwellings well established to meet and exceed the earthquake building requirements for the region.

 

In regards to the complexities of the makeup of our MgO Corp Board, other than testing performances that will be handled by Trevor – we as in MgO Corp do not go into explaining our IP solutions that allow us to get the high results we achieve.

 

I would assume that Trevor will specify for all your external walls and roofing panels the use of High Strength High Impact Board and for all your internal walls the use of High Moisture Resistant Internal Wall board.”

Have you looked at http://www.casasenescazu.com lately? More new info arrives on there every day it seems!!

We are excited to be one of the first to build our dream home with this product, and with the knowledge and experience of Trevor and his team. More updates to come.
