Why FIT Show 2025 is a Must-Visit

Winkhaus UK is returning to FIT Show 2025, and we’re bringing a bigger stand, new product and service launches, and hospitality throughout the event including a special Wednesday evening gathering.

But beyond the celebrations, we’re here to talk about what really matters: security, compliance, smart solutions, and innovation.

In an exclusive interview with Glazing Insider’s Richard Lannen, Andrew Wilkins, Head of Marketing at Winkhaus UK, shared insights into what visitors can expect. Here’s a closer look at what’s in store.

Security & Compliance: Preparing for Regulatory Changes

As legislation evolves, staying ahead of compliance requirements is crucial. Wilkins emphasised how Winkhaus UK is helping fabricators and installers navigate upcoming changes in security regulations, particularly around PAS24 and the expected revisions to Approved Document Q (ADQ).

These updates introduce stricter attack testing methods and extend ADQ’s scope beyond new builds to refurbishment projects.

“With nearly 50 years of testing expertise, our UKAS-accredited laboratory will be among the first to offer testing to PAS24:2022, including the 2024 addendum,” said Wilkins.

“We’re providing tailored support, including compliance consultations and bespoke test programs, to help our customers with their compliance journeys.”

Smart Security Solutions: Innovation Meets Compliance

Security and convenience should go hand in hand. Winkhaus UK is launching a new range of smart security solutions designed to integrate seamlessly with its award-winning locking systems.

These new offerings meet the latest PAS24 and Secured by Design standards while enhancing security and ease of use for fabricators and end-users alike.

Wilkins hinted at an exciting launch: “A key highlight at FIT Show 2025 will be the unveiling of a breakthrough product on the first morning of the event. It’s a game-changer in security compliance and innovation.”

Aluminium Solutions: Enhancing Productivity & Performance

Aluminium continues to be a major focus for Winkhaus. Visitors to FIT Show 2025 will get an up-close look at the aluPilot window fitting system, which enhances productivity, reduces waste, and streamlines ordering and inventory processes.

“We’re also introducing the primePort range of patio and balcony door and window fitting systems,” Wilkins added. “The primePort AS retract-slide system offers a clean design with hidden moving parts, a tight seal for insulation, and seamless integration into modern living spaces.”

These solutions cater to aluminium system houses, fabricators, and installers who are looking for smarter, more efficient ways to work.

Fire Safety: Preparing for 2029 Standards

With the transition from BS to EN standards on the horizon, FIT Show 2025 presents the perfect opportunity for industry professionals to discuss future-proofing their fire safety strategies.

“We have one of the largest banks of test evidence for fire doorsets in the UK for residential and social housing,” Wilkins shared.

“We’re showcasing our expanded scope of accreditation for composite and timber internal and external fire doorsets, all fully tested to EN standards and third-party accredited.”

For anyone involved in fire safety and compliance, the Winkhaus stand is a must-visit.

More Than Just a Stand: Hospitality & Networking

FIT Show isn’t just about product, it’s about people. Winkhaus UK is inviting visitors to enjoy a warm welcome with daily hospitality, including a German-themed lunch, barista coffee, and a selection of German beers. The Wednesday evening event will feature entertainment, canapés, and drinks, perfect for catching up with industry peers in a relaxed setting.

“FIT Show provides a great opportunity to see our customers, discuss new services, and plan for the future outside of the typical sales environment,” Wilkins said. “We’re looking forward to another fantastic show.”
