A modular seamless corner component for providing a corner to a structure without having to compromise between structural integrity and energy efficiency. The continuous insulation and structure of the modular seamless corner component provide for a stronger corner because there are no seams to magnify stress and provide for a high energy efficiency because there is no thermal bridging.

The invention comprises a fire retardant board comprising a core formed from flute paper, wherein the flute paper is pre-impregnated with a flame retardant. The core is formed as a three dimensional body presenting a first face and a second face opposed to said first face and a wall structure which defines a plurality of channels intersecting the first face at an angle (a) which is 90 degrees or less than 90 degrees. The board further comprises a first liner attached to the first face and an adhesive arranged to fix the first liner to the first face of the core. The invention further comprises a method for manufacturing a fire retardant board comprising the steps of providing a core formed from flute paper, which is pre-impregnated with a flame retardant, applying an adhesive to the first face of the core, and laminating a first liner to the first face of the board.
