Flooding of the basement or first floor can affect any homeowner or tenant and it can be life-threatening [1] when buildings "overheat" during heatwaves - as data from the German Weather Service (DWD) clearly shows [2].
The number of people affected by climate-related weather extremes is constantly increasing and people are looking for available structural solutions to minimize risks and prevent future damage. Every heavy rainfall, every heatwave and every hailstorm is a current renovation opportunity for property owners and an opportunity for innovative manufacturers and distributors of building products to win attractive contracts. However, good knowledge of sustainability, construction technology, climate safety and a high level of installation expertise are required.
Every climate-proof building refurbishment is also a sensible measure to reduce the carbon footprint of the building stock, increase the property value, collect "taxonomy points" and improve living comfort. Anyone who only builds cheaply thinks too short-sightedly when making investments that will have an impact for decades and ends up paying more - according to the motto "Buy cheap, buy twice".
This is why building products must be sustainable and climate-safe. Grey energy during production and ease of repair, maintenance or replacement must be given a much higher priority - this applies to both new construction and renovation.
The special show by NürnbergMesse and ift Rosenheim therefore shows what sustainable, climate-safe and therefore future-proof building products look like and how they are labeled. The focus is on reducing CO2 emissions during manufacture and use, sustainable production, easy repairability and maintenance, and protection against climate extremes.

iftLAB testing laboratory (Athmer Technikum) with testing of sound insulation, air, water, wind, smoke protection, mechanical durability, operating forces, and burglary resistance in accordance with ISO 17025 in cooperation with ift Rosenheim.
Finstral GmbH
Finstral slide-in installation simplifies the replacement of vinyl or aluminium windows in buildings from the 1970s, 80s and 90s: without noise, without dirt, without scaffolding, without tenants moving out. With ift-tested building connection and full design diversity of the windows.
Gröninger Antriebstechnik GmbH & Co. KG
The invisible DK-100 window drive is ideal for bathroom windows: after showering, tilt the window by hand and the drive closes it automatically. The DK-100 tilts and closes the window automatically, and you can still operate it "as usual" using the handle.
Heavydrive GmbH
Heavydrive provides innovative lifting and installation solutions for glass, façade and special building elements. We offer project-specific consulting and supply glass robots, vacuum lifters, mini crawler cranes, as well as lifting and transport systems for efficient operations.
LOKVE d.o.o.
SLIM 50 – Wood Alu windows fully aligned sash shape on the inside and aluminium on the outside, and wing width of only 50 mm. The narrower sash results in an extremely modern design and better energy efficiency. They are the best choice for the new generation of modern, low-energy and passive houses.
Meesenburg GmbH & Co. KG
Meesenburg, experts in window/door connections to building structures, will showcase a wooden window in burglar-resistant, cantilevered, and highly insulated installation situations – both within and in front of the load-bearing wall. Complementary services such as architectural consulting, support with structural calculations, documentation, etc., will be explained.
MessTec GmbH
National Fenestration Rating Council
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) certifies fenestration products through rigorous energy performance testing and provides the results via a label so a well-informed purchase decision can be made.
Oikos Objektbau GmbH
3D timber module for temporary and flexible buildings: up to 95% prefabricated in the factory, precise quality, short construction time. Assembly/handover, point foundations reduce sealing. Modules can be combined for variable floor plans and uses.
Serial renovation façade: prefabricated curtain wall for fast, energy-efficient modernisation. Insulation minimises heat loss/thermal bridges. Time-efficient installation with minimal disruption to residents. Windows, ventilation and pipes can be integrated; visual enhancement.
Schollglass
GEWE Enthermal™ is the latest generation of high-performance transparent insulation, providing significantly better thermal and acoustic insulation than standard insulating glass. In addition, the glass units with thin package thicknesses of just 8 mm and light weight are ideal for renovation and restoration.

As the leading trade association for the window and door industry, we represent the interests of over 430 members – manufacturers and assembly companies as well as industrial and specialist retail partners. We are a service provider, opinion leader and mouthpiece towards politics, the market and the media and a communication platform for the exchange of information among our members.
The special show “climate.proof.build” at Fensterbau Frontale 2026 showcases innovative solutions for sustainable construction. Together with 16 co-exhibitors, we are presenting products and concepts for protection against overheating and flooding, as well as the opportunities offered by building renovation. The special exhibition will be complemented by live demonstrations of vandalism tests and air, wind, and water tests at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. each day.
