PRODUCT OVERVIEW
TRITON® Board is a best-in-class, patented magnesium cement board and underlayment engineered for superior performance across floors, walls, and ceilings in both wet and non-wet applications.
Most specs call for a different material for every job, a fire-rated board here, a flooring underlayment there, sheathing on the exterior, a tile backer in the wet areas. That means multiple purchase orders, multiple pallets, multiple lead times, and multiple things that can go wrong on the job site. TRITON® Board changes the equation — there’s a reason why its called the Swiss Army Knife of building materials.
Distinctly lightweight, it’s built on Triton MgO Products’ proprietary magnesium oxide technology, providing a strong, dimensionally stable substrate for all types of tile and stone without the burden of traditional cement weight. It scores and snaps cleanly, reducing installation time on every job. All without the use of harmful chemicals, crystalline silica, or VOCs.
Proudly made in the USA. Third-party certified and compliant with ANSI, ASTM, and ICC-ES standards. Built to code, built to last.

TRITON® Board brings Swiss Army Knife versatility to building materials. Here's how one product can simplify your entire material spec — without sacrificing performance on any application.
Fire-safe wall and floor assemblies, flooring underlayment, roof decking, structural sheathing, and tile backer — all from a single board. Consolidate your material order and simplify logistics on every project.
TRITON® outperforms leading panel products on strength, fire resistance, and moisture performance — and often costs less than you’d expect. Premium-system results without the premium price tag, at a cost that makes sense for the spec and the budget.
Achieves a mold resistance score of 0 per ASTM G 21 and a surface burning rating of 0/0 per ASTM E 84. Built for to stand up to sustained moisture without degrading and fire safe performance.
Our domestic manufacturing can turn orders fast when your schedule demands it. When budget is driving the decision, international production keeps the cost down. You decide which matters more.
Free of crystalline silica, VOCs, and harsh chemicals. No known carcinogenicity. A healthier job site today and a healthier building for whoever occupies it tomorrow.
Works with standard tile setting materials. Compatible with both smooth and textured side facing out. TCNA-compliant installation with straightforward floor and wall processes.
Free of crystalline silica, VOCs, and harsh chemicals. No known carcinogenicity. Safer for installers on the job site and for occupants over the life of the building.
The core component of the TRITON Watertight System. Engineered to pair with the TRITON Waterproof Membrane for a complete, warranted moisture-proof assembly.
Long lead times from overseas-only suppliers have killed more than a few project timelines. TRITON MgO Products gives you a choice, domestic speed or international savings, so you’re never stuck waiting on material when you should be building. Your Schedule. Your Budget. Your Call.
We produce TRITON® Board at our plant domestically in Houston, Texas. No shortcuts, no compromises, just made in the USA. When you need material fast, we can deliver it without the container wait.
When lead time isn't the pressure and cost optimization matters, our international production keeps the price competitive without touching the spec. You get the same MgO board — held to the same performance standards — at a lower cost basis.
