WINKHAUS UK REFLECTS ON FIT SHOW 2025: INNOVATION LAUNCHED, PARTNERSHIPS STRENGTHENED, FUTURE SECURED As the doors close on FIT Show 2025, Winkhaus UK reflects on what has been a landmark event, filled with energy, innovation, and collaboration. Over the three-day exhibition, our stand became a central hub for fabricators, installers, and industry professionals to explore our newly launched added value products, services and solutions, and the overwhelmingly positive response exceeded expectations. FIT Show has once again proven itself as the go to platform for forward thinking innovation in the fenestration industry. For Winkhaus, it was a defining moment to introduce not only new technology but a new way of thinking about door security, aluminium fabrication efficiency, and regulatory support. Crafted Synergy™: A New Standard in Integrated Door Security Taking centre stage at this year’s event was the official debut of the Crafted Synergy™ range, Winkhaus’ fully integrated smart security ecosystem. Built to deliver simple, secure, and reliable performance, the Crafted Synergy™ range struck a powerful chord with visitors navigating increasing demands in fabrication quality, regulation, and customer satisfaction. At the heart of Crafted Synergy™ is the philosophy that security components should not just work, they should work together. The suite includes seamlessly compatible products such as the autoLock AV4, Thunderbolt, XR6 cylinder, armorShield cylinder protection range and the showstopping Polaris™ Smart eTurner.
Polaris™: Smart, Stylish, and Simple Control A major talking point among visitors, Polaris™ is a smart eTurner designed to provide next level door control with design led simplicity. Its seamless integration with Winkhaus’ XR6 cylinder and locking solutions was a standout feature. Attendees were particularly impressed with the Polaris™ Smart Sensor, which confirms the door’s position status, the Polaris Smart™ app offering clear navigation, automatic two step set-up, and ability to open the door from anywhere in the world. With support for both smartphone and key fob control, Polaris™ delivers a modern, intuitive experience for users while helping fabricators future-proof their door systems with tested, secure, and intelligent hardware. The 3-Star Equation: Future-Ready Compliance Made Easy Completing the Crafted Synergy™ range is our expanded 3-Star security equation, which allows customers to meet future security regulations with confidence and cost-efficiency. Visitors responded positively to the pairing of our proven 1-Star XR6 cylinder with a choice of new 2-Star armorShield protection options, including the 2-Star handle, escutcheon, and cylinder protector. This versatile, modular offering makes it easier for fabricators and installers to deliver fully compliant, high-security solutions without excessive complexity or overengineering, ensuring peace of mind for both manufacturers and homeowners. Aluminium Innovation: aluPilot and primePort Solutions In the aluminium space, Winkhaus used FIT Show 2025 to launch key enhancements to its widely adopted aluPilot modular window fitting system. Live demonstrations showed just how easily aluPilot increases fabrication efficiency, reduces waste, and improves workflow, all while streamlining ordering and inventory processes. Visitors were introduced to two exciting new additions: a solution designed for lower operating positions and a new restriction system, both ideal for expanding usage in a wider range of aluminium window applications.
