Enviroboard - alternative to Supalux or Masterboard

[^woody^]

Has anyone used these Enviroboards, which are a recent alternative to cement boards?

I wondered if they are really dense like Supalux, or a bit softer like Masterboard. Or like Hardibacker or Aquaboard.

And if you've used any of these, how does Enviroboard compare?

Bumping this thread as I'm also looking at them now. I guess if they've been around since 2015 they can't be doing so badly.

I used them in 2015 at home, and have specified them on contracts since where appropriate.

The big issue with these and othert MgO based boards is to not use them in constant damp humid environments (swimming baths, large plant houses or suchlike). There was a big scare story from (IIRC) Denmark, where a similar type of MgO board crumbled due to the conditions they were exposed to.

Thanks for the reply, I think I'm going to go with them as they are a fraction the cost of Supalux and they meet the criteria, ours wont even have much rain on them!
