AkzoNobel set to inspire at Zak World of Facades, Barcelona
Attendees at Zak World of Facades in Barcelona will gain fresh insight into high-performance coil coatings when AkzoNobel showcases its FIDURA™ coil coating systems designed specifically for the construction industry.
Taking place on 12 March 2026, Zak World of Facades brings together key decision-makers from across the building sector for a one-day program of presentations and networking focused on sustainable design, materials innovation and future-ready façades.
At this year’s event, AkzoNobel will showcase its innovative FIDURA coil coating systems for the construction industry, designed to deliver long‑lasting protection, outstanding appearance, and excellent flexibility on pre‑painted steel and aluminum substrates. FIDURA systems provide proven resilience in extreme environments and offer vibrant, customizable finishes that help architects and designers bring their creative visions to life.
Inspired by life. Designed for performance
FIDURA systems are developed around the real-world conditions buildings face every day. Taking cues from how people use and experience architecture, the systems translate practical needs such as durability, longevity and visual expression into coating solutions that help surfaces perform and look their best over time.
Available in performance levels: Essential, Advanced and Premium, the range is designed for many construction applications including metal doors, roofing, walls and façades. The systems offer robust resistance to UV exposure, corrosion, chemicals and scratches, backed by rigorous quality control and extensive warranties. The result is reliable, long-term performance that gives architects, façade consultants and coil coaters confidence from the outset.
Resilient performance meets exciting aesthetics
Beyond durability, FIDURA systems also offer significant design versatility that can help transform architectural surfaces. They deliver excellent color and gloss stability across a wide range of standard and custom-matched shades, textures and wrinkle finishes, ensuring the coatings deliver consistent visual impact. In addition, AkzoNobel’s enhanced 3D color visualization tool is available to support design decisions by allowing users to view finishes under different lighting conditions.
“Our FIDURA systems have been created for architects, specifiers and consultants in the construction industry that need a coating system to perform, endure, and still look exceptional year after year, with a partner they can trust,” says Koray Kerpicci, Regional Commercial Director, AkzoNobel Coil Coatings EMEA, “Zak World of Facades provides the ideal platform to connect with industry professionals and demonstrate how, through innovative products and technologies like FIDURA, we’re helping to shape buildings that are both resilient and inspiring.”
Visitors are invited to meet Prescilla Dsouza, AkzoNobel’s Specification Manager with extensive experience in pre-painted metal specifications, who will be available throughout the event to support architects, façade consultants, and designers seeking guidance on selecting the right FIDURA solution for their projects.
