As the UK’s only dedicated B2B trade show for fabricators and installers involved in the window, door, glass & components industry, the appetite for its September showcase has never been bigger. More people than ever have registered early for their free tickets to the industry’s event flagship trade show. For the first time ever, FIT Show will open on a Sunday which will create an opportunity for busy installers to avoid taking time off the tools during the week. Over 40% of FIT Show’s exhibiting brands will be making their debuts at the event, with companies including Rockdoor, Exlabesa, Solar Calibre, STORM Building Products, UK Doors Online and Adminbase all set to make their premiere. Alongside FIT Show debut bands will be a strong cohort of industry leaders, many of which are Door and Hardware Federation (DHF) members such as Cooke Brothers, Hörmann UK, Alutech Systems and Zero Seal Systems. Doors and entrances will be a major feature at the show, with product demonstrations and CPD approved learning content tailored specifically for this segment of the market. FIT Show visitors can expect a line-up of over 200 brands from across the home improvement industry. There will be a wider selection of products, with the introduction of new features such as ‘outdoor living’, more demonstrations and a broad selection of FIT Show exclusive discounts and offers to incentivise and reward visitors. FIT show 2021 will see Hörmann UK exhibiting its market-leading range of garage doors. Garage doors will be showcased together with their premium entrance doors and Smart technology.
