As Floridians, we understand the challenges of living in a state that balances beauty with the brute force of nature.
From hurricanes to humidity, we’ve seen it all. But what if there were a way to build homes and structures that not only withstood these challenges but also created safer, healthier, and more sustainable living spaces?
Enter NEXGEN Building Products—the company everyone in Florida’s construction and insurance industries should be watching in 2025.
Why NEXGEN is the Future of Building
NEXGEN has pioneered a line of building materials based on magnesium oxysulfate (MgO) technology, a game-changing innovation that transforms how we think about construction.
These products are non-combustible, fire-resistant, and mold-resistant, all while being free from harmful chemicals.
For Florida, this means homes and buildings that can better handle hurricanes, moisture, and the everyday challenges of our environment.
Here’s the kicker: these products also align with the insurance industry’s goals of risk mitigation.
By using materials that resist fire, water intrusion, and mold, NEXGEN is addressing the very risks that drive up homeowners’ insurance premiums in Florida.
For regulators and contractors, adopting NEXGEN products could revolutionize building codes and practices while helping stabilize Florida’s volatile insurance market.
The Product Line: A Solution for Every Build
NEXGEN’s products cover every angle of construction, offering contractors and homeowners a smarter, safer way to build:

A single-layer solution that replaces traditional plywood, OSB, and even gypcrete.
These panels are:
• Non-combustible: Rated for 1- and 2-hour fire resistance.
• Resistant to mold and mildew: Perfect for Florida’s moisture-heavy climate.
• Durable: Withstand heavy loads while maintaining long-term performance.
2. MAXTERRA® Structural Sheathing
This high-density, structurally-rated sheathing can replace traditional materials like plywood and gypsum for walls, roofs, and floors.
It’s lightweight yet tough enough to handle extreme weather and offers enhanced durability.
3. MagRock™ Wall Boards
Think of these as drywall 2.0. They’re:
• Fire-resistant.
• Mold- and mildew-resistant.

5. Fire-Resistant Decorative Boards
Why settle for boring when you can have safety and style? These boards come in customizable designs while still being fire-resistant and sustainable.
Why Florida Needs NEXGEN
Florida’s building codes are some of the toughest in the country, but even they fall short when it comes to addressing the future.
With rising sea levels, stronger hurricanes, and skyrocketing insurance costs, we need building materials that do more than meet the minimum requirements. NEXGEN products deliver on every front:
• For Contractors: Easier to install, longer-lasting, and more versatile than traditional materials.
• For Regulators: A way to future-proof Florida’s building codes and promote safer, more resilient communities.
• For Insurance Companies: Reduced risk of fire, mold, and water damage means fewer claims and more stable premiums.
The Big Picture
NEXGEN isn’t just a materials company—it’s a solution to some of Florida’s most pressing challenges.
By embracing their innovative MgO products, we can build homes and communities that stand stronger against storms, protect our families from harmful chemicals, and reduce the environmental impact of construction.
For those in the know, NEXGEN is the company to watch in 2025.
If Florida is going to stay ahead of the curve, it’s time for contractors, regulators, and the insurance industry to get on board.
The future of building is here—and it’s called NEXGEN.
