Abstract

Abstract The current sustainability trends pose high demands on building materials and products. Those with potential to be labelled as an environmentally-friendly product or technology are getting preferred. One of the natural resources with such potential is magnesite, whose resources are widely found in Slovakia. The article deals with analysis of the magnesium oxide board properties as the most popular MgO-based building product. The comparative analysis of magnesium oxide boards with other available building boards (plasterboards, oriented strand boards) is included in the article and especially from the point of magnesium oxide boards’ benefits.
