Windows, doors, and their technical variants

Windows and doors not only shape the exterior design of a building, but also contribute significantly to thermal insulation, security, and comfort. The reports on Messe.TV showcase modern solutions ranging from classic wood-aluminum systems to smart front doors with app control. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on modular systems, flexible designs, and technical enhancements such as fingerprint scanning or RFID access control.

Plastic, wood, and aluminum windows with multiple glazing
Smart locks and biometric access systems
Doors with integrated lighting and sound insulation

The technologies used range from mechanical multi-point locks to fully networked door systems that fit into modern smart home concepts.

Fittings, locking systems, and security technology

Whether manual window handles or digitally controlled locking systems—security and functional technology is constantly being developed in the field of building components. In addition to mechanical solutions, burglary protection today also includes sensor technology, alarm systems, and software-based access controls. Companies present their latest developments on Messe.TV with a focus on retrofitability, energy efficiency, and ease of use.

Burglar-resistant door and window systems
Digital fittings with app integration
RFID locking systems and modular security solutions

The technical equipment meets the growing need for security in both private and commercial environments – without neglecting design quality.

Insect screens, privacy screens, and daylight solutions

Insect screens and sun protection have long since developed into technically sophisticated product areas. Messe.TV's coverage shows integrated systems for windows, doors, and facades – from custom-made insect screens to automatically controlled roller shutters and slat solutions. The range is complemented by systems for daylight control and optimization, such as translucent roof elements.

Custom-made fly screens and swing doors
External venetian blinds and roller shutters
Daylight domes and light-directing facade elements

These solutions combine functionality with quality of living and contribute to both the indoor climate and energy efficiency.

Waterproofing, roof systems, and functional accessories

Building elements also include numerous functional components that are part of the building envelope. Roof waterproofing, joint sealing, canopies, and temporary drainage solutions are showcased at trade fairs as special segments that meet both structural and design requirements. Messe.TV features articles on tailor-made flat roof solutions, prefabricated systems, and sustainable materials.

Temporary rainwater drainage systems for construction sites and renovations

In addition to protection from the elements, aspects such as ease of installation, durability, and ecological materials are becoming increasingly important.

Additional elements for comfort and design

Last but not least, modern building elements also include fittings that combine function and design. These range from elegant mailboxes to sophisticated garage door solutions and marble stone carpets for indoor and outdoor areas. Such additional products expand building technology with elements that take everyday usability, aesthetics, and comfort into equal consideration.

Designer mailboxes with individual designs
Electric garage doors with viewing windows
Stone veneers and stone carpets for floors and walls

The diversity of building components is particularly evident in these areas, where technology, design standards, and precision craftsmanship come together.
