Welcome to the February edition of Fenestration Digital.
The early months of 2026 continue to reflect a market that is cautious but far from stagnant. Across this issue, one message is clear: resilience today is built on investment, evidence and long-term thinking. Sustainability remains central, with REHAU UK pushing decarbonisation beyond manufacturing and into logistics, while accessibility-led design continues to shape product development. At the same time, evolving compliance demands are sharpening the focus on robust testing and certified performance, something Winkhaus highlights through its commitment to proven security and fire solutions. On the retail side, design preferences are shifting. Sheerline reports a move toward bolder, more bespoke colour choices, reinforcing the importance of flexibility and finish in winning homeowner attention. Encouragingly, businesses such as Made for Trade and CO Manufacturing demonstrate that innovation, training and strong trade support continue to drive growth even in measured conditions. Insight from Keystone Market Research further reminds us that understanding in-market consumers will be critical in the year ahead. The outlook may be steady rather than spectacular — but the discipline, collaboration and forward planning on display across our sector gives real reason for confidence.
