The Windows, Doors and Façades Event 2016, organised by dmg events Middle East, Asia and Africa – the organiser of The Big 5 – has been created to meet the needs of the GCC’s $10-billion market.

The event, which will take place from September 18 to 20, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai, UAE, will discuss the implementation of the new Dubai Civil Defence laws governing the safety of building façade materials, according to dmg events.

The event will be positioned as the central meeting place for global manufacturers and distributors of window, door and facade products to network and develop business leads with more than 5,000 buyers of construction products, it added.

International and regional exhibitors alike will be showcasing their products at the event including Alumil, the Platinum sponsor; Reynaers, the executive associate sponsor; and founding partners Schüco, Elumatec, Cladtech International, Orgadata and Gulf Extrusions.

The exhibition will open with The Middle East Façades Summit centred around the theme ‘innovation, efficiency, security and quality control in façade design and engineering’, which will feature two distinctive keynote speeches delivered by government representatives outlining the latest updates to fire and safety codes, and offering insight on sustainability in design. 

The summit will include a number of panel discussions by leading experts in the industry on a wide range of topics including acoustic design and energy sustainability as well as more than 12 CPD (continuing professional development) certified workshops and case studies.

Muhammed Kazi, exhibition director of the event, said: “We have been monitoring the demand within this segment for the last few years as part of The Big 5 Dubai, and the launch of the show as an independent trade exhibition is a direct response to feedback from the industry.”
