Platform on window, door, frame technology, hardware, roof and facade technology, security
From March 24 to 27, 2026, Messe Nürnberg will once again be the international venue for windows, doors and facades. Together with the parallel trade fair HOLZ-HANDWERK, FENSTERBAU FRONTALE will show how the world of building products is developing today and will change tomorrow. In addition, the extensive fringe program offers visitors a unique opportunity to delve into current topics and explore future scenarios. With this, a substantive journey of discovery awaits the trade audience for four days.
The pressure on the construction industry to be more energy efficient is increasing, driven by stricter regulations and a growing focus on circular building concepts. On the exhibition floor, manufacturers will present new profiles, glass solutions and facade systems that combine optimal insulation with climate-robust design. The knowledge program highlights this topic in depth, including at the special exhibition ‘klima.sicher.bauen’ by ift Rosenheim. Here the focus is on reducing CO₂ emissions, material recycling, service life and protection against climate extremes. For those who want to prepare for the energy standards of the future, this exhibition is an indispensable source of inspiration.
The digital transformation affects manufacturing processes as well as design and construction methodology. Robot-controlled machining, data-driven quality control and software for planning processes will soon be the standard. Especially in the Future space - the trade fair's innovation hub - insight will be gained into how digital tools are further professionalizing the window frame industry. Visitors here will get an insight into digital twins, BIM integrations and smart office solutions.
At the heart of international themes, innovation and networking is the new FENSTERBAU FRONTALE Stage which has been set up as an open meeting space. This is also where the festive presentation of the FENSTERBAU FRONTALE Innovation Award will take place on the first day of the fair. Visitors can see the window, door and facade products nominated for this on the various information boards.
Renovation is one of the biggest growth markets in Europe. The aging building stock demands solutions that are fast, sustainable and affordable. During the FENSTERBAU FRONTALE Forum, the focus is on modular and serial construction methods, rapid replacement system concepts and renovation techniques with minimal failure costs. Live awards will also be presented here, such as ‘Window Builder of the Year 2026’ and the ‘MeisterAward,’ coupled with practical cases showing which innovations are already applicable today.
Smart technology is no longer a gimmick, but an integral part of windows, doors and facades. Sensors for air quality, automatic window openers, integrated blinds and glass that responds to light and temperature are just a few examples. During tours, expert talks and presentations, both established manufacturers and Young Innovators will show how traditional frame technology goes hand in hand with home automation. For users, this means more comfort, security and energy management; for the industry, new business models and service portfolios are emerging.
In addition to performance, design remains decisive. Architectural trends demand slim profiles, high-quality surfaces and aesthetics without compromising on functionality. The Fokus Interior Doors program section shows the latest developments: invisible hinges, flush door systems, improved acoustics and fireproof solutions. An accompanying Guided Tour leads visitors directly to exhibitors who combine design with technology and material innovation.
All in all, FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2026 promises to be much more than just a product show. It is an international learning environment where market information, innovation and inspiration come together. Anyone who wants to know what technological trends will shape the sector - from circular construction to digitalization, from renovation methods to smart technology - should not miss Nuremberg in March 2026. For anyone who wants to actively influence the future of the window frame industry, a visit is simply a must.
