CiiLOCK achieves Fensterbau Innovation Award nomination

This year marks the launch of the Fensterbau Frontale Innovation Award. The award will be presented as part of the trade fair in Nuremberg, with the aim of highlighting technological innovations that provide impetus for further development within this industry sector.

Each submission is evaluated by an independent expert jury, comprising of respected specialists from across the Fenestration sector.

Following its Double-Award success at the Australian Glass and Window Association Awards last year, CiiLOCK entered its “Mother of all Rollers – Naked Series” into the inaugural Innovation Award programme.

Out of 39 products submitted by exhibitors worldwide, just 13 progressed to the final round following the Jury Meeting on 20 January.  CiiLOCK is proud to announce that its Naked Series roller is amongst these finalists.

On the opening day of Fensterbau Frontale, the Judges will visit each finalist’s stand to meet the development teams and experience the nominated products first-hand.  The process culminates in an awards ceremony later that day, where the winners will be officially announced.

Steve Hopwood, UK General Manager of CiiLOCK, said: “Qualifying as finalists for this Innovation Award is great news! We are very proud of this achievement and look forward to welcoming the Judges to our stand to show them the innovation behind the Naked Series.”

Simon Jaber, CiiLOCK Commercial Director, added: “ This is absolutely amazing news! Top 13 shortlisted applicants out of 39 submissions for an innovation award at such this prestigious fenestration exhibition with global reach is a outstanding accomplishment for CiiLOCK.”

The “Mother of all Rollers-Naked Series” is said to retain the proven performance characteristics of the MOR range, whilst focusing on a sustainable design approach.

By removing the traditional metal housing and replacing it with CiiLOCK’s patented interlocking structure, the innovation is said to significantly reduce thermal bridging and embodied carbon, all whilst maintaining the durability and load performance that the range is reportedly known for.

Visitors to Fensterbau Frontale are invited to discover the shortlisted innovation for themselves. The CiiLOCK team will be welcoming guests to Hall 4, Stand 453, and look forward to discussing the technology behind the Naked Series….over coffee, of course.
