Innovation is inherent in our DNA, and being part of Etex Group means we have the resources and support we need to drive innovation forward.
At Remagin, we understand that construction projects can be complex and challenging. That’s why we’re dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that meet the demands of sustainable, high-performance buildings. To combat the current challenges within the market and offer the next generation of offsite solutions that stand the test of time, we combined our expertise, integrated our capabilities and optimised our approach.
Driven by Etex
Driven by Etex
With leading positions in lightweight material technologies such as fibre cement, plasterboard, passive fire protection and insulation, Etex has the ambition to be a key player in the transformation of the construction industry.
Remagin is uniquely positioned to leverage the group’s broad range of material technologies, testing facilities and laboratories, as well as our own light gauge steel frames, to develop and provide our customers with tested and certified solutions where performance is assured.
Combining Etex material technologies, has enabled us to provide our customers with improved solutions around fire, acoustic and thermal performance, air tightness, and speed of build.

Collaborate to Innovate
When it comes to improving the world we live in collaboration is key. From working together to develop solutions which give customers the best outcomes in terms of project objectives, from finding a more sustainable solution, to improving site safety or working to improve the end product.
Case study
Leeds-based sustainable living developer approached the team with a requirement for a fully developed panel. The new ‘in-line’ production facility allows the incorporation of fully glazed windows, sealing EPDM’s, insulation, membranes and brick tie channels, to be applied to the panel, all in one rolling assembly line. The new panels represent a hugely efficient step forward, in terms of both site safety and programme time scales, as well as a vast reduction in terms of the threat of water ingress; also, never losing sight of the positive impact of reducing the carbon footprint of the project.
Working in partnership with our retirement living clients at McCarthy Stone, we have already made significant enhancements to the Phase 1 glazed panels, the latest version of which includes the external sheathing board, EPDM’s, insulation, membranes and brick tie channels. This means these new generation of panels will be 100% build-ready from the get-go with minimal onsite intervention required.
What does this mean in practice?
A worthwhile innovation must have worthwhile results. The new glazed panels will offer contactors and developers a myriad of tangible benefits including:
- Significant time savings on every programme of works – estimated to reduce the delivery programme by up to 15%
- Reduces the need for scaffolding & in turn reduces on-site safety risks
- Aids water tightness, speeding up the build & reducing water ingress
- Increases quality control levels
- Less follow-on trades, which means reduction in labour costs
- Elevates the green credentials of LGSF even further
