Water damage is a leading cause of property loss, with floods, leaks, and moisture causing billions of dollars in damage annually. When just one inch of flood water can cause more than $25,000 in damage, it’s not hard to believe that nationwide, household water damage costs up to $20 billion annually. Traditional building materials such as drywall and plywood are prone to warping, swelling, and deterioration when exposed to water, compromising the safety and stability of structures. Beyond the immediate structural damage, water intrusion often leads to mold growth, posing significant health risks. Water damage claims are among the most frequent insurance claims, highlighting the widespread nature of this issue.

Prevention of Water-Induced Mold Growth

The panels resist mold growth due to their inorganic composition, ensuring that exposure to moisture does not lead to mold or mildew.

Water Resistance in Extreme Conditions

MAXTERRA® panels are designed to withstand moisture and water infiltration during storms, preventing warping, swelling, or deterioration.

Application Highlights

Situation

Moisture can cause significant damage to building materials, leading to mold growth, structural weakness, and health hazards. In high-moisture environments, traditional materials often fail to provide adequate protection.

Solution

MAXTERRA® MgO products are resistant to water and robust in moist environments. They prevent organic growth and maintain their structural integrity even in extreme weather conditions.

Impact

Using MAXTERRA® products in construction ensures that buildings remain free from water damage and mold growth. This enhances the longevity of the structure and provides a healthier living environment, reducing maintenance costs and improving indoor air quality.
