Lightweight solutions offer a unique combination of qualities to inspire ways of living
Safe
Etex’s innovative fire protection, plasterboard, fibre cement and insulation solutions protect buildings, infrastructure, home appliances and even vehicles from damage. Our Promat brand is the benchmark for passive fire protection, fire-stopping solutions and applications requiring high-temperature and acoustic insulation.
Sustainable
Etex lightweight solutions are efficient to install - without using water, easy to maintain and insulative, which reduces waste and optimises resource use. Moreover, plasterboard is recyclable and unlocks eco-friendly production, transportation, construction and deconstruction methods.
Smart
Etex lightweight solutions bring affordable and resource-saving benefits to the entire supply chain via innovation, digital (specifically BIM and automation) and modular technologies. Offsite building solutions boost efficiency in production, construction and maintenance for all building partners and end customers.

The Etex architectural fibre cement exterior materials are thin, durable and striking in their beauty. We produce corrugated sheets for agricultural applications as well as ground-breaking new fibre cement materials for soft, slip-proof, durable and beautiful residential terraces and decks. Etex brings its fibre cement solutions to the market through three global customer-centric brands: EQUITONE for architects, Eternit for the agricultural sector and Cedral for homeowners.
Passive fire protection
All Etex insulation products offer superior performance, including cost effective thermal insulation. Next to fire-stopping boards, paints, sprays and systems for the protection of vehicles, homes, industrial facilities, architectural constructions and more Etex also develops world-leading passive fire protection systems that meet the highest standards and norms with its global Promat brand.
Insulation
With URSA’s thermal and acoustic insulation products, Etex improves buildings’ energy efficiency - thus reducing their consumption and CO₂ emissions - and provides comfort by creating a safe and healthy environment. Temperature maintenance, acoustic comfort, fire safety and indoor air quality are some benefits. The product range is based on glass mineral wool and extruded polystyrene (XPS), two high-performance insulation materials that guarantee excellent insulation quality for building envelopes, internal partitions, floors, ceilings and air conditioning ducts.
