Fensterbau Frontale – Always A Pleasure, Sometimes A Trial
Fensterbau Frontale 2026 runs from 24-27 March at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre. It is massive. It’s a trial to get around, yet you’ll see the newest and the best.
Exhibitors and visitors come from all over Europe and further afield.
Tuesday–Friday, 10:00am until 18:00pm (17:00pm on Friday). The product range at Bau as it is affectionately known, reflects worldwide innovations in windows, doors and facades.
A one-day ticket costs €50.00 or you can get a four-day pass for €70.00. Yep – that’s right they charge to get in. Local hotels raise their prices and don’t lose bookings.
Every two years, architects, installers, window and facade manufacturers and the specialist trades update their knowledge of profile systems, glass in architecture, fixing equipment, safety equipment, machines, installations and much more.
Quanex
Three global brands familiar to a UK audience will attend the expo. Edgetech, a leader in warm edge spacer technology, is set to make a major impact at by joining forces with fellow Quanex brands Liniar and Schlegel on booth 7A-525.
Tony Palmer, the head of sales at Edgetech, said: “Fensterbau Frontale is the perfect stage to demonstrate the collective strength of Quanex. By bringing Edgetech, Liniar and Schlegel together, we can show visitors practical solutions that take the energy efficiency, durability and reliability requirements of modern windows and facade systems to the next level.”
At the heart of the stand will be Edgetech’s pioneering Super Spacer technology. As the original flexible warm edge spacer, Super Spacer has set the benchmark for precision and thermal performance since 1989.
Visitors will see how the latest developments, including triple insulating glazing with Super Spacer, are now market-ready and ideally suited to both residential and commercial applications.
Skinny triples
“One of the most exciting areas we’ll be highlighting is the cost-effective production of ‘skinny triples,’ said Palmer. “Working with partners such as Forel, we’re proving that thin triple glazing can be manufactured on existing, fully automated, high-speed lines, without costly investment, while maintaining quality and accuracy.”
With growing demand for large-scale glazing and contemporary looks, Edgetech will also be focusing on the commercial sector at the fair, including precise robot-assisted application on XXL formats and colour design, with spacers increasingly being specified in grey to complement the transparency of modern glass facades
“From precision application to long-term durability, everything we’re presenting is about delivering tangible benefits for manufacturers, specifiers and end users alike,” added Palmer. “We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors over what should be a fantastic four days.”
Together with Liniar’s sustainable cutting-edge profile systems and Schlegel’s high-performance sealing solutions, Edgetech’s presence at Bau underlines Quanex’s commitment to shaping the future of the fenestration industry.
