Bamboo has an important economic and cultural position in Asia. Its specific compressive strength exceeds that of wood, brick or concrete, and its specific tensile strength is close to that of steel. It is widely used in the manufacture of wood plastic composite flooring (WPC) and bamboo composite flooring.
BULU uses magnesium sulfate cement combined with bamboo fiber to make building materials with excellent strength and durability, which can effectively improve the overall performance of building structures. As a new generation of building materials, BULU MgO subfloor is an ideal alternative to OSB (oriented strand board) or plywood subfloor. It not only has fire resistance, moisture resistance, mildew resistance and other functions, but also can effectively insulate sound and heat, especially suitable for subfloor systems of wood frames and steel frames. BULU magnesium oxide (MgO) board is widely used in the manufacture of floor system underlays due to its durability, moisture resistance and fire resistance, further improving the comfort and safety of buildings. The application of these innovative materials marks the development of the construction industry towards a more efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable direction.

Bulu subfloor
MgO subfloor refers to a type of subflooring material made from Magnesium Oxide (MgO), a versatile and durable material widely used in construction. MgO subfloor panels are engineered from a blend of magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, and other non-toxic ingredients, offering a sustainable and high-performance alternative to traditional subflooring materials like plywood or OSB (Oriented Strand Board).
MgO subfloors are known for their exceptional strength, moisture resistance, and fireproof properties, making them ideal for use in areas with high humidity or where fire safety is a concern. These subfloors are also resistant to mold, mildew, and pests, which contributes to healthier indoor environments. Additionally, MgO panels provide excellent sound insulation and thermal resistance, which enhances the overall comfort of buildings.
Due to their composition, MgO subfloors are suitable for both wood and steel frame construction. They are increasingly being used in residential and commercial building projects as a reliable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional subfloor materials. MgO subfloors can be used as a base for various floor coverings, including tile, carpet, or hardwood, and are an ideal choice for sustainable building practices focused on durability and safety.
Our BULU MgO fireproof board is made from high-end magnesium oxide powder, containing more than 70% inorganic matter and alkali-resistant high-strength fiberglass mesh. The board cures naturally by cold melting, requiring no energy. It is inorganic and has no toxic components. It does not contain formaldehyde, fly ash or crystalline silica - ingredients commonly found in plywood, OSB, fiber cement and gypsum-based building materials. It achieves its superior strength and flexibility through the input of alkali-resistant high-strength fiberglass mesh, which gives our boards unique high-performance structural properties. Our boards use a low-energy manufacturing process that uses 50% less energy than competing building products and actually absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere during the exothermic curing process.

MgO boards are significantly lighter than traditional cement floor slabs. This reduces the overall load on the building structure, enhancing safety and allowing for more flexible architectural designs. The lighter weight also simplifies handling and transportation, further reducing logistical challenges and associated costs.
Due to their reduced thickness compared to conventional cement slabs, MgO panels save valuable vertical space within a building. This optimization increases the usable interior space, which is especially beneficial for projects where maximizing floor-to-ceiling height is crucial.
MgO subfloor panels are easy to cut, drill, and install, which accelerates construction timelines. This efficiency translates into faster project completion, reducing labor costs and minimizing disruptions. Furthermore, the installation process generates less waste, leading to cleaner construction sites and less environmental impact.
The use of MgO boards can result in significant cost savings in construction. The reduced material weight decreases transportation expenses, while the simplified installation process lowers labor costs. Additionally, the durability and long lifespan of MgO panels reduce maintenance and replacement expenses over time.
Unlike traditional cement slabs, MgO boards are recyclable, aligning with the principles of sustainable construction. At the end of their life cycle, these boards can be reused or repurposed, minimizing waste and conserving natural resources. This eco-friendly attribute makes MgO subflooring an ideal choice for projects aiming to meet green building certifications.
In addition to these advantages, MgO subfloor panels offer superior performance characteristics. They are resistant to moisture, fire, mold, and pests, ensuring long-term reliability and a healthier indoor environment. Their thermal and acoustic insulation properties further contribute to building comfort and energy efficiency.
MgO boards can be cut using standard tools, but proper techniques are essential to avoid edge chipping or cracking. For clean cuts, it is recommended to use a circular saw equipped with a carbide-tipped blade. Ensure the board is well-supported during cutting to prevent unnecessary stress or damage.
When installing MgO boards as subflooring, screws should be used instead of nails to ensure a secure fit. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding screw spacing and placement to prevent issues such as movement or warping. Proper fastening ensures the boards remain stable and durable over time.
Although MgO boards have inherent moisture resistance, it is advisable to seal the edges and joints with a suitable sealant to prevent water penetration, particularly in wet areas like bathrooms and laundry rooms. This additional sealing step enhances the board's performance and ensures long-lasting protection in moisture-prone environments.
