As a high quality art support AND excellent lay in place ceiling tile opens the door to vast application of public art displays greater in scope and with more possibilities than historically ever possible to artists everywhere.

Many large open public and commercial spaces, recreation centers and institutional auditoriums with bland plain white stippled ceilings tiles in grids can be transformed into novel and expressive artistic works of enormous proportions.

Standard size lay in ceiling tile cut to order for 2 x 2, 2 x 4 and 1 x 1 are available by contacting magnesiacore directly through the website www.magnesiacore.com/art.

From a more commercial / marketing perspective retail stores now have at their disposal their ceiling spaces as expanded store real estate for applying product signage and directional symbols that will assist movement of customers through today’s larger layout superstores that can require customer traffic management activity and directional mapping to help shoppers find their way around more easily.

Pop rivet fasteners can be used to apply magnesiacore over existing metal and aluminum frames… for say to do a makeover of a sectional garage door; an existing hollow metal door and even the sectional steel door frame.

You can’t do this with cement board, drywall or plywood material.

In the 1970’s before drywall began to take over as the most common interior wallboard used in North America there were other ways to make partitions. Things like plastering (even with portland cement for higher resistance) troweled on to expanded metal lath or over wood strips as battens, which many people have encountered renovating older homes in North America, are then finished off with fine finishing lime, as example of things preceding today’s paper faced drywall. These older more labor intensive works became more expensive and the expert tradesmen necessary to get a good job done have slowly all but vanished after centuries. This is due to the higher efficiencies gained working with a gypsum board and screws, taped together and filled as we see done in the current faster cheaper methods available.

In other parts of the world the plastering methods are still quite common and when wood is not a structural option, walls are built with fired clay block, cinder blocks, or reinforced concrete and then plastered over with lime plasters to make partitions and finished walls ready for painting.

In each case options exist for different value and higher quality of construction.

Magnesiacore is an upgrade option for your interior and exterior wall boards to give you plaster-like results as a fraction of the cost of plastering, and hence our slogan “uPgrade your Drywall!” to give you our basic message in a nutshell.
