FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2026: Practical knowledge, innovations and positive feedback combined

FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2026 brings the industry together – with concrete solutions for practical application, innovative ideas and a supporting programme that offers real added value. From 24 to 27 March 2026 in Nuremberg, trade professionals can look forward to a trade fair that provides answers to current challenges and creates space for exchange. The world's leading international trade fair for windows, doors and façades is already enjoying a positive response and will once again be the central meeting place for the industry.

From 24 to 27 March 2026, FENSTERBAU FRONTALE will open its doors in Nuremberg at 10 a.m. as usual, together with HOLZ-HANDWERK, and will once again be the international industry meeting place for windows, doors and façades. The response has been positive: with an area similar to that of 2024, it once again secures a strong basis for successful encounters. The overview of exhibitors and products is constantly updated on the website. The focus is on topics such as energy-efficient renovation, serial and modular construction, recycling and circular economy, safety and climate-proof construction methods. In this way, the event responds to the central challenges facing the construction and architecture industry.  

Elke Harreiß, Executive Director at FENSTERBAU FRONTALE, emphasises: ‘We are delighted with the positive response, which confirms the relevance of FENSTERBAU FRONTALE for the industry. It is not only a platform for products and innovations, but also for personal dialogue and networking. This trust on the part of exhibitors is a clear signal for us.’

In addition to the exhibition areas, the trade fair offers an extensive supporting programme that combines practical knowledge and inspiration. Information on this is available on the website. A central element is the new FENSTERBAU FRONTALE Stage, which serves as an international platform for innovation, exchange and inspiration. Here, current market trends are highlighted, guided tours are launched and, for the first time, the Innovation Award is presented. The FENSTERBAU FRONTALE Forum also provides visitors with practical knowledge on industry topics. The ‘Window Manufacturer of the Year 2026’ and ‘MeisterAward’ will be presented there. The programme item Focus Interior Doors, organised jointly with HOLZ-HANDWERK in cooperation with the trade magazine BM, puts modern door solutions in the spotlight.

Another highlight is the free Architecture–Windows–Facades forum, which requires registration and will be held on 26 March 2026 in collaboration with AIT-Dialog in NCC East. Under the guiding principle of ‘Balance – Building in Equilibrium’ the specialist presentations will address key issues for the future of the construction industry. The focus will be on modular construction and efficiency, circular construction, and aspects of climate resilience.

In addition, the special exhibition ‘klima.sicher.bauen’ (climate.safe.building) will take place in cooperation with ift Rosenheim, as well as the special exhibition ‘Metallbautreff’ (metall construction meeting) powered by metall-markt.net.

Chiara Sträßner, Director Exhibition at FENSTERBAU FRONTALE, explains: ‘The supporting programme is a central component of the trade fair for us. It offers trade visitors the opportunity to obtain comprehensive information, gain new perspectives and exchange ideas with experts. In this way, we create a place where knowledge and practice come together.’

With its new slogan, ‘Framing what's next’ and a fresh brand identity, the trade fair is sending a clear signal for progress and sustainability. FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2026 will thus become more than ever a stage for innovation and international cooperation. The conceptual sponsors of FENSTERBAU FRONTALE are the trade association “Glass, Window, Facade Baden-Württemberg” and the state guild association of the Bavarian glazier trade. The cooperation partner is ift Rosenheim. In 2024, the trade fair duo FENSTERBAU FRONTALE and HOLZ-HANDWERK attracted a total of around 75,000 visitors and 973 exhibitors from the fields of window, door and façade construction and woodworking. Both trade fairs can once again be visited at the same time with a single ticket. Further information and tickets are available at www.frontale.de/en.
