Clear View of the Chinese Market

Fenestration China 2006, the 4th International Exhibition on Windows, Doors and Components will be held in Peking from 5-8 December 2006. There will be a German pavilion with 14 exhibitors accompanied by the ‘Fenestration Days China’ conference.

Peking is building: The Olympic Games are approaching and the city must improve its infrastructure and build modern sports facilities and tourist accommodation. But not only the city is experiencing a building boom at the moment - a lot of money is being invested in the rest of China, too. The demand for windows, facades and doors is growing accordingly - an interesting market for the German window industry. A suitable presentation platform for the Chinese market is the 4th Fenestration China in the China International Exhibition Centre, for which Nürnberg Global Fairs acts as co-organiser for the international organisation. As in previous years, the international subsidiary of NürnbergMesse is also organising the German pavilion, in which a total of 14 companies will exhibit.

China is currently present in the business press mainly because of its impressive growth figures. This also applies to the building industry: Experts estimate the newly developed building area at some two billion square metres a year, but redevelopment projects due in the cities in the coming years will also stimulate the building industry and amount to around one billion square metres a year. The positive development of Fenestration China is no surprise in view of these figures: Some 200 exhibitors from altogether nine countries and 23,500 visitors came to Peking for the last exhibition for windows and façade construction and occupied a net display area of 7,150 square metres. The exhibitors came mainly from the segments of windows and doors, façade systems, roof windows and sliding roofs, solar protection and ventilation systems, slatted blinds and window shutters. The trade visitors in Peking included architects, building engineers and consultant planners, plus manufacturers and producers of windows and doors of steel, aluminium, wood and PVC. Other visitors to the 4th Fenestration China included representatives from the craft trades, supply trade and service sector.

The international exhibition is organised by CIEC Exhibition Company Ltd., supported by the China Construction Metal Structure Association and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and Nürnberg Global Fairs is co-organiser. The organisers expect extra growth in all areas this year - exhibitors, visitors and space. Fenestration China 2006 will occupy a total of six halls - new keynotes such as ‘glass and solar protection for buildings’ are also represented.

The event is accompanied by ‘Fenestration Days China’, the conference on market trends and innovations in windows, doors and facades, at which international experts express their views on trends and developments in the industry. German companies in the window and façade construction industry again profit from attractive terms for exhibiting in the German pavilion organised by Nürnberg Global Fairs. The German pavilion sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology offers attractive stand packages and technical and organisational assistance for attending the exhibition.

RIBA Sustainable Living Exhibition at St Paul's Church, Brentford in October

An exhibition of challenging new ideas and current examples of sustainable design by London architects will be at St Paul's Church, St Paul's Road, Brentford, Middlesex TW8 0PN until 26th October. Sustainable Living by Design will feature 32 schemes of built and conceptual architectural projects. These explore how architects in London are using their expertise to revitalise the city fabric.

Edouard François (Jury member for Sustainable Living by Design) commented:
'The issue of sustainability is now understood and here to stay. It is going to change drastically the way we perceive, imagine and create architecture. Today, we start from scratch. This is a once in a lifetime revolution. We architects, as well as people involved in design, feel extremely lucky to live in these historic times where meaning exceeds shape.'

The thirty-two projects feature work by Sheppard Robson, Stanton Williams, Urban Salon Ltd. and Kristian Peel/ Assael Architecture amongst others.

Accompanying the exhibition will be a presentation about 'SixtyK House' a project featured in the exhibition by Alan Shingler, Associate at Sheppard Robson. This free event will take place at 6pm on 10th October (lecture starts at 6.30pm). RSVP to RIBA London, email: riba.london@inst.riba.org

Sustainable Living by Design focuses on innovative housing solutions which are laying a path for future ways of living. Despite the current shortage of housing in Britain and the increasing cost of new homes, we are witnessing population growth in cities across the UK. The social and economic circumstances have developed a trend towards a modern movement of 'urban living'. Culture is undergoing a dramatic change with an increasing interest in eco-friendly homes as a response to climate change.

Craftsmen the Focal Point at glasstec 2006

For the first time at glasstec, glass finishing techniques and glass applications will have special shows for the skilled trades and craftsmen on the Saturday of the fair.

glasstec and the skilled trades goes back a long way as the fair originated from the glaziers' trade and it continues to be one of the most important visitor groups. So in co-operation with the Federal Association of Glazier Trades (BIV), Messe Düsseldorf has developed an additional programme tailored to the requirements of craftsmen. ‘Focus on Skilled Trades’ takes place on 28th October. A series of lectures will be held, organised by the ‘glass technology live’ special show. The themes will range from the latest glass products for interior design through to finishing using silk-screen prints, colour effect filters and stained glass up to innovative glass application in facades. The focal point throughout the event, organised by the Institute of the Glaziers' Trade, will be the practical applications in craftsman's companies.

Spectacular glass products and applications await visitors on the BIV's joint stand in Hall 9. No less interesting for glaziers' daily, practical applications will be the ball-impact tests demonstrated live on the stand to test the robustness and stability of security-application glazing. A further highlight is the presentation of the 2006 Glass Finisher's Prize. The entries submitted by glass finishers and glass artists will once again demonstrate the broad range and high quality of glass processing craftsmanship.

HOPPE Scores Birdie with Customers

Forming relationships in the fast-paced hardware industry is tough. HOPPE (UK), the supplier of door and window hardware, used its annual golf day at Patshull Park, Shropshire to strengthen ties with customers and suppliers under a different sort of competitive strain, as Keith Holt, Joint Managing Director, explains:

‘Our recently launched 2006 Vision and Values programme underlined our commitment to long-term partnerships. But we realise that it's not always possible to spend time building relationships at work. So along with our bi-annual customer visits to HOPPE's Swiss headquarters, the golf day is another opportunity for us to meet customers and suppliers under less formal conditions.

'There was a great turnout with 63 people participating in the golf day. Playing in teams and singly everyone enjoyed the event. Mine was, of course, the winning team and Richard Braithwaite, of Gibbs and Dandy won the singles game.’

Keith continues: ‘In the evening we held a Gala Presentation Dinner, which 100 people attended, for the players and those who couldn't attend the day. HOPPE looks forward to next years golf day, and the opportunity to show our customers and suppliers how much we value our partnerships.’

Expert Speakers from FIRA and TRADA Impart Industry Knowledge at W6

Visitors to this year's W6 (Working with Wood exhibition) at the NEC from 8th - 11th October will be in an unique position to hear from timber and furniture experts about significant issues affecting the trade. FIRA and its sister organisation TRADA, will manage a full programme of seminars throughout the Birmingham exhibition covering subjects as diverse as major health issues affecting the wood processing industries, innovation in recycling of wood and successful lean manufacturing.

The rolling seminar programme has been designed to be both topical and thought provoking, covering a variety of subjects that will help attendees to gain a clearer understanding of business issues within the furniture and timber industries. The timing is such that delegates will be able to take this knowledge away with them as they visit suppliers around the exhibition.

Managing Director of FIRA, Hayden Davies commented: ‘Both FIRA and TRADA felt it was important that the seminar programme was designed to impart knowledge that visitors would find of use when talking to exhibitors on their stands. We hope that the information they gain will help visitors to make better informed buying decisions.’

The audience will include members of both the furniture and timber industries and seminar content will reflect market trends as well as innovative technical developments. To find out more about subject matter and timings and to book a place at any of these seminars, visit http://www.w6exhibition.com. ’

HOPPE and Elfa at 100% Detail

HOPPE (UK), the door and window hardware supplier, and Elfa, Scandinavia's leading steel shelving manufacturer, have joined forces to enable customers to source a flexible range of architectural ironmongery and storage solutions from one supplier. Keith Holt, Joint Managing Director of HOPPE (UK), says that 100% Detail, the leading building products exhibition for architects and specifiers, is the ideal place to demonstrate the range.

‘We're using 100% Detail to show architects, designers and specifiers that it is possible to meet a wide range of tastes without having to chop and change suppliers. There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all design. Every client commissioning an interior refurbishment or new build project has distinct ideas about what's right and wrong. Often a customer has seen a stunning piece of hardware, but it's let down by poor functionality. So the choice you are left with is to compromise function for form or alternatively spend valuable time trying to source an equivalent product without the operational flaws. HOPPE and Elfa's partnership solves these problems by making a broad range of hardware and storage solutions available from one supplier, and thanks to HOPPE's R&D the functionality and finish is as good as the style.’

BPF Leads UK Group to Middle East

The British Plastics Federation (BPF) is co-ordinating a British Group to the Middle East for the first time in its 73 year history.

In response to the growth of the plastics market within the Middle East, the BPF will take a British Group to Arabplast in Dubai, which runs from 13-16th January 2007.

The Dubai plastics industry is growing at a rate of nearly 20% per annum with the importation of plastics goods more than doubling in the last 4 years. Dubai acts as the re-distribution centre for region and direct re-export trade has been valued at around £5.5 billion.

The British Group is currently 9 strong and still growing, this is partly buoyed by a change in the rules for UK Trade & Investment Grants Scheme which has resulted in the UAE being upgraded to an 'Emerging Economy'.  This means more companies will now be able to access £1,800 grants to exhibit at the show.

Iain Mcilwee, BPF’s Business Development Manager said
'We are delighted to be visiting Arabplast in January 2007 in response to a proposal from BPF’s own membership. The Middle East is a vast market with outstanding potential for export. The interest amongst British companies has been particularly high, with machinery products likely to be the key demand at the show.'

Companies interesting in joining the British Group at Arabplast 2007 should contact Stephen Hunt at the BPF on 0207 457 5044 or email shunt@bpf.co.uk.

Daedalian's Open House

It was Open House recently at Daedalian Glass's workshop and studio in Poulton le Fylde. The company is one of the country's leading exponents of artistic glass design and processing and, as part of its support for Architecture Week, took the opportunity to entertain Sue Lawley and Linda Hodgkinson, the wives of the mayor and deputy mayor of Wyre Borough Council, along with architects and interior designers from the area.

The Architecture Week promotion has been taking place across the country and Daedalian has had a stream of visitors coming to see work produced by Davia Walmsley, head designer and co-founder of the company, and her staff.

On Thursday guests were entertained in the traditional manner by a local guitarist, and took the opportunity to see a slide show of work produced by the company as well as view the work on display around the studio, which left no-one in any doubt as to the outstanding skills Davia and her team have at their fingertips.

This was glass with a difference - sandblasted, fused, laminated, and colourful, with mainstream and modern designs, all of which are creating a lot of interest with architects and designers across the country.

Set up 20 years ago by Davia and her husband, Chris Walmsley, the business has gone from strength to strength, building a reputation for innovation and quality, whilst maintaining many traditional skills.

Daedalian's work can be seen in hotels, hospitals and offices across the country. Some striking commemorative glass panels at Barrow-in-Furness Hospital's new Oncology Unit and a stunning reception desk and room dividers at Crystal Clear International's HQ in Liverpool are two recent success stories; whilst two outdoor award-wining collaborations have been at the RHS Show at Tatton Park in Cheshire and at this year's Chelsea Flower Show.

glasstec 2006: Practical Applications

The glass technology live special show has been a key component of glasstec, which runs from 24th - 28th October this year. Since it was first held at glasstec 1996, this innovative show has repeatedly featured products with trend-setting development highlights and provided inspiration for new glass applications and processing technologies.

Devised and produced by Stuttgart architect Professor Stefan Behling for many years, it brings together universities, educational establishments, companies and associations, pools their knowledge and uses highly interesting and attractive exhibits to present the latest innovations which the market has to offer. Visionary and experimental elements are just as much a part of this as are solutions ready for series-production. glass technology live is however not only an innovations show, it also establishes the link between development laboratories and practical applications. Today it would be impossible to envisage modern glass technology and architecture without many of the products and applications shown in Düsseldorf for the first time.

This becomes particularly evident when one looks at the example of structural glass design. In 1998 the world's largest self-supporting glass dome was still captivating visitors to the special show. At that time Professor Behling, who had designed the dome, was already demonstrating a far-sighted approach when he said: 'In the future, glass ceilings, glass supports or even glass reinforced concrete will be conceivable.'

Just two years later he showed a glass pavilion with a roof construction completely supported by glass braces, and two years further on, pressure-resistant tubes in laminated borosilicate glass used as supporting elements were the highlight of the special show. This development demonstrates how visions can result in practical-application products in just a few years. Today all-glass constructions are a key component of modern architecture - and the trend is continuing.

This year, using an innovative glass staircase, the possibilities of innovative, transparent glued joints and their potential for architecture will be demonstrated, showing perhaps another new growing trend. A considerable number of experts from the glass sector are convinced that adhesive technology will in future also play an increasingly significant role in structural glass design.

No less interesting is the development of glass applications in facade technology. Here, too, glass technology live has for many years been the presentation platform for new concepts and the integration of new materials. Holographic light-redirection glass, electro-chromic and bent double-glazed glass elements as well as completely newly designed fittings for glass installation were presented in the special show as development studies or prototypes, before they became everyday, conventional products in the area of facade construction.

The booming sector of photo-voltaic technology has experienced a similar trend in recent years. A large part of the module variations integrated in today's facades were already on display within the framework of the special show. This year there will once again be a product premiere with the world's first coloured thin-film solar cells for building integration.

The list of innovative products and applications, which find their way from glass technology live to practical applications, is growing longer with every event. The most recent example of this is laser technology, which was included in the special show at glasstec 2002 for the first time.

Used in glass processing, this trendsetting technology offers numerous advantages compared to conventional glass processing. Mechanical engineers have long since recognized this and have consistently accelerated its development. In the past, after glass-cutting by laser had only been possible using extremely thin materials, the next development phase is now about to be completed. Before the end of this year the world's first laser separation facility is to go into operation at a float glass works near Magdeburg. Operating directly behind the float tank, the new facility will separate the rim of the glass ribbon in a previously unrivalled cutting quality. In this process the glass thickness can be up to 28mm.

The creative and constructive interaction between research institutes and the companies from the glass, fittings and facade sector not only makes for a very interesting glass technology live, but also promotes the development of new products and applications. The catch phrase for this year's show is 'Houses of the Future'. A visit is therefore worthwhile for all those who are involved with the production and installation of glass in interior and external applications, as well as for planners and architects.

DHF Opens its Doors to Door, Shutter and Hardware Visitors

The first ever Conference and Expo for the door, shutter and hardware sectors will take place in Loughborough on Thursday, September 28th. Its organisers, the Door & Hardware Federation, says the event will showcase best practice in the sector and it expects a large number of visitors throughout the day.

They will be able to visit a variety of trade stands. They will also attend be able to attend workshops which cover a wide variety of hot topics, including the latest legislation which is impacting on the industry, a guide to the latest fire door hardware, and the repair and maintenance of doors and shutters.

The DHF represents more than 90 per cent of the key players in industrial and commercial doors & shutters and garage doors and also represents the leading UK manufacturers of building hardware and architectural ironmongery.

In previous years the DHF has held a trade show for its members alongside its annual meeting. But this year, for the first time, the event has been greatly extended in scope and non DHF members are being invited to attend.

Said DHF chief executive Ian Wood: 'The expansion of the event, and opening it out to non members, reflects the increasing importance of the metal door and hardware industries within the construction sector.'

The DHF Conference and Expo will be held in the conference area at Loughborough University's Sir Denis Rooke Building, Holywell Park on Thursday, September 28th from 9 am to 3 pm. Entrance is free. A buffet lunch will be available for all delegates.

At the event there will be more than 25 exhibitors, ranging from lockmakers to door security producers, who will be manning their stands throughout the day. In addition there will be a number of free workshops that delegates can attend.
Workshop topics include domestic fire safety, fire door certification, the benefits of CE marking garage doors under the Construction Products Directive, fire door hardware, access for the disabled, working at heights, employment law, repair and maintenance, anti fall back devices and power operated driveway gates.

Said Mr Wood: 'We are facing an increasing number of challenges, in particular legislative challenges, but they actually offer us greater commercial opportunities. Legal changes put the onus of risk onto the building owner or occupier, and this presents opportunities to our members who offer certified and CE marked products.

'The DHF Conference and Expo is an opportunity for us to showcase best practice within our industry and we are confident it will attract a large number of visitors.'
