What products will you be showcasing at the event?

Tecfire will be displaying the most innovative range of fire-rated glass systems on the market. Over the last 35 years, Tecfire has become one of the largest engineering and manufacturing companies in the field of fire-rated glass systems in the world.

Tell us more about your top projects and the challenges posed by them.

Being the specialist leader, Tecfire is involved in some of the most iconic projects in UAE. Louvre Museum is an excellent example of Tecfire’s capabilities since the complexity of the fire-rated glass systems designed and manufactured for this project was a significant technical challenge.  The Opera House Dubai, and Skyview the Address, are also some of the top-level projects done by Tecfire.   

Will you be launching any new products in the market this year?

TECFIRE will launch into the market some of the most innovative products such as: ​ the all-new Alufire aluminum fire rated sliding door system with up to one hour of fire resistance and has the slimmest profiles in the market; the all-new Glassfire fire-rated frameless door system with up to one hour of fire resistance, and also it is a door system made of glass with no profiles; and the all-new Alufire aluminum double acting pivot door system with up to one hour of fire resistance.

Please shed some light on your fire-resistant glass and the latest technology acquired for the same.

The fire-rated glass that Tecfire uses on all of its systems meet the highest quality standards of the glass industry. The glass is tempered, with the maximum light transmittance and with an extraordinary level of fire performance allowing us to develop and test the largest glass surface on our systems.

How will the exhibition help you to grow your business in the UAE?

WDF 2019 is a significant event for Tecfire since it's the time of the year when we meet with our existing, new and potential clients and suppliers to discuss the latest trends in the industry of architecture. As the world changes, exhibitions such as Windows Doors & Facades will support the players in this industry to achieve our business goals. It’s an opportunity to communicate with the important people in the industry; interacting with personalities that are present at the event broadens business resources and strengthens ties with existing clients and suppliers.

What was the best part of your time at the event last year?

WDF 2018 was an opportunity for Tecfire to showcase real size fire-rated glass doors and have our visitors witness the quality of our products. The best part was to receive a more significant number of visitors from our previous participation; hence, this event shall continue to grow and achieve its purpose in supporting the industry.
