2024-02-26
The glass scene at Nordbygg is arranged in collaboration with the Glass Industry Association (Glasbranschföreningen) and will be the epicentre of the meeting place regarding the importance of glass in the construction and property industry. Here, Nordbygg offers tips for anyone wanting to seize the moment to learn all about the possibilities of glass in 2024.
The C hall is dedicated to building materials and systems. Here, you can find the Building materials stage and national stands, but also the topic of the year - The Glass Stage. Nordbygg’s collaboration with the Glass Industry Association has given rise to an interesting stage programme and more exhibitors than before in glass.
The Glass stage – improve your skills
The programme on the Glass Stage will be expanded gradually, but the stage programme already has many interesting items. Here, architects and builders will be given an overview of glass’s state of play right now and in our properties in the future, for both new builds and renovations.
