The primePort AS retract-slide system also attracted major interest. As part of our broader primePort range of patio and balcony door solutions, it drew praise for its precision engineered clean, concealed design, energy efficiency, and excellent weather performance. Compatible with aluminium, timber, and PVC-U profiles, the primePort range supports elegant, modern living environments where wide openings and minimal disruption to interior layouts are key. Leading Regulatory Change: PAS24, ADQ and Beyond While innovation dominated discussions, regulatory preparedness emerged as a central theme. A key area of engagement on the Winkhaus stand was our comprehensive offering to help fabricators and installers navigate upcoming compliance changes, in particular the PAS24:2024 addendum and its eventual incorporation into Approved Document Q (ADQ) in 2027. Winkhaus’ UKAS accredited test laboratory is among the first in the industry prepared to carry out testing under the new PAS24 protocols. This capability, backed by nearly 50 years of testing experience, offers our partners an invaluable resource for preparing their product ranges to meet the more rigorous testing standards and extended scope of the new ADQ requirements, which now include refurbishment projects as well as new builds. Visitors welcomed the opportunity to engage in deeper conversations around compliance, with many recognising the long-term value of our technical consultancy, product development days, and bespoke testing programmes. These added value services allow our partners to evolve their designs effectively and confidently, without trial-and-error or disruption to production. Service Enhancements That Support Real Progress Throughout the show, visitors responded strongly to the broader service enhancements now available from Winkhaus. More than ever, fabricators and installers are seeking knowledgeable, proactive support partners who can guide them through technical challenges and help bring compliant, high- performing products to market more efficiently.
The conversations we had at FIT Show made it clear that our emphasis on partnership, technical excellence, and industry foresight is what sets Winkhaus apart, and we are proud to continue delivering that to the market. Face-to-Face Engagement: Reaffirming Relationships and Shared Direction While the new launches and services were front and centre, the real value of FIT Show was in the conversations. Reconnecting with long-time customers and welcoming new partners created a buzz of positivity and purpose across all three days. These interactions not only reaffirmed our current direction, they sparked new ideas and inspired confidence in where we’re heading as an industry. The enthusiasm, curiosity, and professionalism of those we met reminded us why face-to-face events remain such a powerful platform for building shared progress. Looking Ahead: Building on Strong Momentum For Winkhaus UK, FIT Show 2025 was a springboard. The ideas, relationships, and feedback gathered across the event are already being channelled into our next phase of development. We are committed to pushing boundaries, refining our solutions, and continuing to support the fabricators and installers who trust in our products every day. To everyone who visited our stand, thank you for your time, your interest, and your feedback. To those unable to attend, we invite you to explore our latest innovations online or contact our team to arrange a conversation. The momentum we’ve gained at FIT Show is just the beginning, and we look forward to delivering even more value in the months ahead.
