Today more and more often in the construction market you can see a new building material - a glass-magnesium sheet. Reviews about it are still few, since it is not yet as widespread as, for example, drywall.
However, many Russian citizens have already encountered it during construction.

- Refractoriness. This material can withstand temperatures up to 1200 degrees.

As a rule, glass-magnesium sheet is used for finishing ceilings, walls, pools, showers. After all, it combines all the main features of safe use: resistance to temperature extremes, high humidity and open fire.
Such sheets are also used in the production of fire-resistant doors. There they perform the functions of double-sided overlays. Moreover, the filler can be different, this will not affect the security of the door. Such structures are able to withstand open fire for about an hour.
