Fensterbau Frontale Nuremberg – The leading international trade fair for windows, doors, and facades

Technology, design, and sustainability relating to the building envelope

FENSTERBAU FRONTALE in Nuremberg is the world's most important industry gathering for professionals in the window, door, and facade construction sectors. Every two years, the trade fair brings together around 800 exhibitors from over 40 countries and more than 100,000 trade visitors from the fields of craftsmanship, architecture, planning, industry, and trade. Together with HOLZ-HANDWERK, which takes place at the same time, it forms a unique trade fair duo that covers the entire spectrum of modern building design and technology. Whether energy-efficient window profiles, smart hardware technology, modern glass architecture, or solutions for burglary protection—Fensterbau Frontale showcases the future of building envelopes in all its facets. The trade fair is both a showcase and a source of inspiration for new standards, design trends, and digital innovations.

Design trends, material innovations, and energy efficiency

The trade fair not only showcases technical innovations, but also sets design standards: filigree frame constructions, frameless sliding systems, new color and surface variants, as well as solutions for barrier-free living and energy-efficient renovation. Intelligent systems that optimally combine thermal insulation, daylight control, and ventilation are particularly in demand—whether in new buildings or existing structures. As a result, Fensterbau Frontale is increasingly becoming a platform for climate-friendly construction and renovation.

Smart technology for smart buildings

Another focus is on digital networking: from motorized window drives to cloud-based control of sun protection and security technology, manufacturers are showcasing solutions that make windows and doors an integral part of modern smart building concepts. The Digital Construction Forum will present specific application examples, BIM-supported planning, and networked manufacturing processes. Here, the skilled trades will be specifically linked to the world of software.

Architecture meets practice: The specialist program

A central component of Fensterbau Frontale is the extensive lecture and event program, which is aimed at both architectural firms and the trades involved in the execution of the work:

• Architecture-Window-Facade Forum: with international experts, case studies, and design inspiration
• Special “Green Deal” exhibition: solutions for climate-friendly construction and sustainable building materials
• Processor meeting & craftsman workshops
• Guided themed tours and innovation routes
• Programs for young talent and career forums for young professionals

Internationality and network quality

Fensterbau Frontale is a trade fair with global appeal – around 40% of exhibitors come from abroad. It is an important platform for medium-sized manufacturers in particular to present themselves internationally and tap into new markets. At the same time, the trade fair is an indispensable venue for many craft businesses and planning offices in Germany to network, learn, and compare. Numerous guilds and industry associations also use the trade fair for further training and exchange.
