WDF 2017

The fair in Dubai is the central meeting point for worldwide manufacturers and distributors of window, door and façade products. Vetrotech Saint-Gobain, SageGlass and Saint-Gobain Glass Exprover took the opportunity to present and present their broad range of products in the Middle East.

Hosting over 160 exhibitors from 13 countries, the region’s largest platform dedicated to window, door and facade products attracted more than 7,000 visitors in its second year, an impressive 33% rise over its introductory year in 2016. Alongside the exhibition, the Windows, Doors & Facades Event 2017 featured the “Middle East Facades Summit”, a high-level conference that attracted hundreds of delegates hosting a series of keynotes presentations on industry topics, such as Fire Safety and Building Design.

Vetrotech Saint-Gobain, SageGlass, and Saint-Gobain Glass Exprover shared a booth to display various products and launched some of their latest innovations into the Middle East market. The stand attracted numerous visitors from the local UAE market as well as from the neighbouring countries including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, East Africa and India.

Vetrotech Saint-Gobain displayed several multifunctional fire-resistant and high-protection solutions including Contraflam, Keralite, and Vetrogard. This year’s main attraction was the large installation of Contraflam Structure Corner, a butt-joint glass solution without vertical frame profiles and dimensions of up to 3900 mm in height. The patented solution proves that there is no compromise when it comes to fire protection, large panel sizes, and aesthetics.

For the first time in the Middle East, the multifunctional capabilities of our fire rated glass were showcased with ceramic fritting, better privacy, and improved acoustic insulation make-ups. This was well received by the visitors, especially architects and consultants who always have challenges blending protection with aesthetics. The samples showcased included Contraflam Lite with tinted glass, Contraflam Lite Stadip, Contraflam Lite with Patterned Glass as well as Contraflam Lite with a one-way mirror effect.
