DragonBoard structural subfloor for construction professionals
FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Tighter schedules. Lower installed cost. One less sub to coordinate.

DragonBoard replaces gypcrete as your fire rated subfloor system. Your framing crew installs it. There is no cure time. The total cost of assembly is lower than what you are paying for a wet pour floor.

Why GCs choose DragonBoard

Built for the way you actually run a job site

Wet pour floor was never designed for tight schedules or zero tolerance code requirements. DragonBoard fits how you already operate. Your existing framing crew installs it with standard tools. There is no cure time blocking finish trades, no specialized subcontractor to schedule, and no weather dependent windows.

Every panel ships pretested for fire, sound, and structural performance. The same assembly that is specified is the assembly that gets built. No field substitutions, no compliance gaps, no surprises at inspection.

THE GC ADVANTAGE

Built around how GCs actually deliver projects

Schedule Compression

Eliminate 2 to 3 day cure times per floor. Save 14 to 21 days on the critical path of a typical 7 floor build.

Lower Installed Cost

$3.50 to $5.50 per SF installed. Lower total cost of assembly than gypcrete at $4.00 to $7.00. No pump trucks, no specialty crews, no rework callbacks.

Your Crew, Your Tools

Standard framing skills and tools. No specialized subcontractor to vet, schedule, or coordinate.

Code Compliance Built In

UL G575 fire rating, ASTM E455 structural, IBC 2006 through 2024 compliant. Tested, documented, ready for inspection.

How does DragonBoard fit into my existing schedule?

Your framing crew installs it as part of the deck-out phase. There is no separate sub to coordinate, no cure window blocking finish trades. You save 2-3 days per floor on the critical path.

What tools and skills does my crew need?

Standard framing tools: circular saw, screw gun, tape measure. Anyone who can install plywood subfloor can install DragonBoard. We provide on-site training for the first project at no cost.

Is DragonBoard code-compliant for multifamily and commercial?

Yes. UL G575 fire rating, ASTM E455 structural, IBC 2024 compliant. Tested and documented assemblies for floor-ceiling, wall, and roof applications across multifamily and commercial use cases.

How does pricing compare to Wet Pour Floor?

Installed cost runs $3.50-5.50/SF, beating Wet Pour Floor by 30-40%. The bigger savings come from schedule compression: fewer days on site, lower G&A overhead, and faster project turnover.

What about LEED and sustainability requirements?

Zero VOCs, zero formaldehyde, zero asbestos. Contributes to LEED IEQ Sec. 4 (Low-Emitting Materials) and MR credits for regional sourcing. Full EPD documentation available on request.
