WHAT’S NEW?
DOMOTEX SUCCESS FOR FN NEUHOFER
At over 300m², FN Neuhofer had one of the largest exhibition stands at DOMOTEX 2026, deliberately seeking to demonstrate its size. Last year, the company invested more than €40m into new plants, products and technologies.
The absolute highlightof the show was the new FN XTRU-pro punchable core skirting board. With its new extrusion plant in Pöndorf, near its headquarters in Zell am Moos, FN Neuhofer heralded the era of in-house production of extruded core skirting boards at the end of November. The special feature of this skirting board is that it can be punched, which saves a lot of time during processing and ensures precise processing quality. Inside is a stable MDF core, fully coated with polypropylene. During punching, the extruded PP film remains completely intact. The result: clean, closed corners – for optimum protection. At the FN Neuhofer stand, massive punching tables were used to punch all day long. Visitors were able to experience live how easy, fast, and clean
the processing is – without noise, dirt, or time expenditure.
One area of the exhibition stand was entirely dedicated to the core skirting board. Connected by a carpet, visitors could access the opposite area, which showcased all of FN Neuhofer’s bestsellers and classics. Other new products, such as the FN para-fix room divider with fixed and movable slats, were cleverly integrated into the stand concept. This allowed visitors to get up close and personal with the new FN digi-felt felt panels, which adorned an entire wall.
Summing up the show, company boss Franz Neuhofer said: “Four intense days full of discussions, ideas, and encounters are behind us, and we were once again able to show what we can do and what we are working on – but more importantly, we inspired, enthused, and learned new things. Many thanks to our entire team, who made this event possible, and to our customers, who always motivate us to perform at our best with their challenges.”

NEW WATER-FREE FLOORING SYSTEM ADDRESSES CONTRACTOR CHALLENGES
Saint-Gobain Weber has launched a new bag and bottle system to help flooring contractors meet the needs of complex sites while streamlining the application process.
The weberfloor bag and bottle 4000 system has been developed to provide a practical solution for both residential and commercial projects where water supply is limited or inconsistent.
An entirely water-free solution, the two-part system contains a bagged powder and protein-free polymer liquid solution which, when combined, forms a moisture tolerant, smoothing and levelling compound.
Both components are pre-measured to ensure the correct ratios are always used, creating a consistent and speedy mix every time and simplifying the process for application teams. Once applied, it can receive foot traffic in just two hours and all common final floorcoverings after eight hours.
James Mead, R&D director at Saint- Gobain Weber, said: “In construction we see a range of challenging site conditions

where a lack of water supply can cause logistical issues and costly delays to the project. High-rise buildings or a sprawling new build site with limited infrastructure are just a couple of examples of projects that often have little to no water supply. This leads to a complicated, lengthy application for contractors or, if there is water, varying degrees of quality which affects the integrity of the finished floor, causing problems later down the line.
“By removing the reliance on water supplies, our new weberfloor bag and bottle 4000 system not only helps to minimise these challenges but also aids speed of
application and opens up more project opportunities for flooring contractors.”
The weberfloor bag and bottle 4000 can be hand-applied to depths of 3-10mm to prepare or pre-smooth concrete substrates, as well as sand/cement and anhydrite screeds to provide a strong finish. It can also be used in spaces with up to 98% relative humidity. The product can also be used as part of Weber floor systems provide damp proof membrane or acoustic solutions.
