Build safe, fast and cost effectively with Australia’s #1 fire rated board.
ProBoard panels consist of a magnesium cement, reinforced with glass fibre mesh. Magnesia is a versatile mineral that when used as part of a cement mixture can be cast into cement panels. Magnesium cement sheets have many advantages over traditional plaster and cladding types. Gone are the days of mouldy plaster, our boards are mould resistant and can be left in the weather for up to 6 months. As an environmentally friendly building material, magnesia board has strength and resistance due to very strong bonds between magnesium and oxygen atoms that form magnesium oxide crystals.
ProBoard panels are a multi-purpose panel and are suitable for a wide range of general building uses. They can be installed internally in lieu of plaster and externally in lieu of cement sheet, bricks and other cladding types. Our panels are renowned for their fire resistance and therefor have enabled ProBoard to design the simplest and cheapest FRL systems in the construction industry.
Now stocked at Dahlsens in NSW and ACT stores.
Available to order in Victoria.

Frequently asked questions, answered by ProBoard.
I’ve got Shaftliner or Hebel specified in my plans, can I swap it out??
Absolutely. ProBoard’s party wall system is Codemark certified for classes 1 through to 10, volumes 1 and 2 of the BCA. This means you can swap out Hebel or Shaftliner for ProBoard. The decreased ProBoard thickness (18mm) vs 50mm or 25mm means you can keep the same overall wall thickness of those products and have a larger air gap which correlates to improved acoustic ratings.
Always seek approval from a building certifier prior to changing party wall systems.
Are ProBoard panels waterproof?
ProBoard panels are water resistant but not waterproof. The boards can be left in the weather for up to 6 months and the panels will not deteriorate. Just let them dry out and render or paint. Comparing to plaster-based party wall systems… it’s chalk and cheese.
Do ProBoard panels delaminate, I’ve heard some MGO can?
No. ProBoard panels do not and can not delaminate. Other brands glue 2 thinner pieces together, ProBoard’s products do not.
Are ProBoard panels environmentally friendly?
Yes. ProBoard panels contain no heavy metals, toxins or asbestos and are greenhouse gas friendly, requiring up to 40% less energy in the manufacturing process than Portland cement-based boards. ProBoard panels are considered a ‘nutrient’ and therefore can be ground to a powder and put back into the ground.
Do you need any specialist tools for installation?
Standard carpentry tools are all that is required for installation.
