Finstral at FIT Show: A UK debut to remember

Finstral, a European manufacturer of premium windows, doors, and glass walls, marked its official entry into the UK market with its debut at the FIT Show 2025.

Finstral said the response was nothing short of exceptional. From the first moments of the show, Finstral’s stand attracted a constant stream of interest from trade professionals, architects, and fenestration specialists eager to discover what sets the brand apart.

Established over 55 years ago, Finstral says it is known across Europe for combining uncompromising quality with forward-thinking designs. Every element of its product range, from frame profiles to glass panes is developed and manufactured in-house.

This fully integrated approach ensures an outstanding performance and long-term reliability. At the FIT Show, this commitment to craftsmanship and consistency reportedly resonated strongly with UK professionals seeking a next-generation supplier.

A warm welcome

Finstral said that what stood out most at FIT wasn’t just the number of visitors, but the quality of the interactions. People weren’t simply browsing, they were stopping to ask questions, explore details, and understand how Finstral’s products could fit into their own work.

“The response was fantastic,” said Andreas Simmer, Managing Director of Finstral UK. “It wasn’t just passing interest. People stayed, explored, and asked all the right questions. Whether they were drawn in by the sleek frames of our windows or the flexibility of our modular door systems, the conversations were insightful and energising.”

Many visitors were said to be especially intrigued by Finstral’s fully integrated production model. This structure gives customers more control over customisation, lead times, and technical performance, whether they’re focused on acoustic insulation, energy efficiency, or simply achieving the perfect look. That balance of form and function proved to be a major draw.

Looking for new UK partnerships

Finstral is now looking ahead to building its UK partner network and collaborating with trade professionals, installers and architects who are ready to elevate their offering with a premium and beautiful product range.

“We’re not just looking for buyers; we’re looking for long-term, collaborative partnerships,” said Gareth Burgess, UK Business Development Manager. “Our partners don’t just get access to high-end premium products. They gain a full support system that includes technical guidance, training, marketing support, and a dedicated account service.”

Finstral’s partner-first model is rooted in trust and shared ambition. It empowers retailers and installers to confidently offer solutions that meet the most demanding client briefs while enjoying the reassurance of a robust European supply chain and decades of engineering excellence.

Introducing the new Finstral studio showroom

To bring its products even closer to the UK trade community, Finstral has announced the opening of its new Studio Showroom in Borehamwood. Here, visitors can explore the full breadth of Finstral’s offering. From aluminium-timber hybrid systems to the beautiful Cristal glass window range, the studio is a space for collaboration where professionals can compare materials and find tailored solutions for their projects.

“We wanted a space that embodies the Finstral philosophy, where professionals can see, feel, and understand what makes our products different” said Andreas.

“It’s about enabling informed choices through direct experience. When you visit, you’re not just browsing. You’re discovering how to deliver something truly special to your clients.”

“If you’re interested in working with Finstral, we warmly invite you to visit our showroom in Borehamwood. Whether you’re an installer, architect or business owner, we’d love to show you why Finstral is the perfect partner for your next project.”

Looking ahead

Finstral’s entry into the UK market marks the beginning of a new chapter. With strong interest from the trade, the Finstral Studio in Borehamwood and a proven model for partnership success, Finstral is excited about what comes next.

“Our debut at FIT was only the first step,” added Andreas. “We’re here to stay, and we’re here to raise expectations.”
