Our Company Makes a Strong Showing at FESQUA 2026 — Brazil International Glass, Door, Window and Curtain Wall Exhibition

The 16th Brazil International Glass, Door, Window and Curtain Wall Exhibition (FESQUA 2026) concluded successfully on September 12, 2026, after four days at São Paulo Expo. As Latin America’s largest and most specialized flagship exhibition for the door, window and curtain wall industry, this year’s event covered 45,000 square meters—25% larger than the previous edition—and brought together more than 700 brands, with an expected attendance of over 60,000 trade visitors. Our company presented its fire-rated seal and door bottom seal product series, engaging in in-depth exchanges and business discussions with industry partners from Brazil and across South America.

Exhibition Highlights: A Flagship Platform for South America’s Door and Window Industry

Held every two years and jointly organized by Grupo Contramarco and the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), FESQUA is now in its 16th edition. The event ran alongside the FESQUA Vetro glass exhibition and several industry forums, including the 2nd Summit Arq architects’ summit, the 7th Afeal aluminum door and window industry exchange meeting, and the Vidrosom acoustic glass seminar. Together, these formed a full-industry-chain platform covering doors and windows, curtain walls, hardware, sealing materials, and processing equipment.

São Paulo Expo, one of South America’s most important exhibition venues, provided world-class facilities and services for the event. The halls were bustling with buyers, engineering contractors, architects, and distributors from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and other South American countries, creating a vibrant atmosphere for business negotiations.

Industry Trends: Rising Demand for Sealing Materials and Fire Safety

Sealing materials are indispensable core auxiliary components in door, window, and curtain wall systems, directly affecting sealing performance, energy efficiency, and durability. At this edition, the display area for sealing strips and sealing materials attracted considerable attention. As Brazil’s building energy efficiency standards and fire safety regulations continue to improve, market demand for high-performance seals is upgrading from basic sealing functions to multifunctional integration, including fire resistance, smoke sealing, and sound insulation.

Growth in the fire safety sector has been particularly notable. According to statistics, Brazil’s firestop materials market reached USD 50.6 million in 2025 and is expected to grow to USD 66.5 million by 2030, with a CAGR of approximately 5.6%. Demand is especially strong for commercial buildings and infrastructure projects in major cities such as São Paulo. Brazil’s current standards—including ABNT NBR 11742 (Fire doors for emergency exits), NBR 15281 (Fire door testing and classification), and NBR 13768 (Fire door hardware requirements)—set clear requirements for the sealing performance of fire doors, driving fire seals toward higher performance and greater reliability.

Our Participation: Fire-Rated Seals and Door Bottom Seals in the Spotlight

During the exhibition, our booth attracted a large number of trade visitors. We focused on showcasing product series tailored to the needs of the South American market:

Fire-rated seal series — Utilizing intumescent material technology, these seals expand rapidly under high temperatures, effectively blocking the passage of flame and smoke through gaps between the door leaf and frame. They are suitable for fire door systems in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and public buildings, meeting sealing integrity requirements under fire conditions.

Door bottom seal series — Designed to seal the gap between the bottom of a door and the floor, these products offer multiple installation options, including surface-mounted and concealed types, and are suitable for wooden, metal, glass, and other door types. They deliver excellent performance in sound insulation, dust proofing, windproofing, and insect proofing, effectively improving indoor comfort and energy efficiency.

At the booth, our technical staff presented the products’ key technical features—including material selection, expansion performance, durability, and ease of installation—through physical displays and detailed explanations. Many door and window manufacturers, fire door manufacturers, and engineering contractors from Brazil and other South American countries expressed strong interest in cooperation.

Market Opportunities: Continued Growth in Demand for Sealing Materials in Brazil

As South America’s largest economy, Brazil has a construction industry that is in a period of steady growth. Accelerated urbanization, government affordable housing projects, and increased investment in commercial buildings are collectively driving demand for door and window sealing systems. In the sealing materials sector, Brazil’s demand for PVC, EPDM, and TPE seals continues to grow. Meanwhile, an evolving regulatory framework—particularly the influence of energy efficiency labeling programs on building material selection—is pushing sealing strip products toward higher performance standards.

At the same time, mandatory Brazilian fire safety regulations provide a stable demand base for fire sealing materials. With the continued advancement of infrastructure modernization and industrial upgrading, Brazil’s firestop materials market is expected to maintain annual growth of approximately 5%–6%. Our company’s technical expertise in fire-rated seals and door bottom seals aligns closely with Brazilian market demand, offering an important strategic opportunity to further expand our South American business.

Looking Ahead

Participation in FESQUA 2026 was not only another important international appearance for our company, but also a key step toward better understanding the South American market and building a local cooperation network. Through face-to-face exchanges with customers from Brazil and across South America, we gained a clearer understanding of regional technical standards and procurement preferences, accumulating valuable first-hand information for subsequent product optimization and market strategy adjustments.

In the future, our company will continue to increase its investment in overseas markets. With higher-quality fire-rated seals and door bottom seals, as well as more professional sealing system solutions, we will deepen our presence in the South American market and work with global partners to create a safer and more energy-efficient building future.
