••• 7 ••• Messewelten A t BAU 2017, the exhibits in the 17 exhibition halls will be or- ganized according to product, ma- terial and theme. More than 2,000 exhibitors will be presenting their latest solutions in Munich. The section on stones/soils is to be found in its usual place: on 22,000 square metres of exhibi- tion space in Halls A1 and A2. On display here is stoneware, sand- lime bricks, concrete, pumice and fiber-cement building materials, plasters/renders, screeds and in- sulation materials. Bricks/roof building will take up all of Hall A3. Here, the brick and roof tile industry will be showcas- ing its entire repertoire – from wall blocks and roofing tiles to complete building components, including energy-generating sys- tems. The sections on tiles/ceram- ics and stone/cast stone will be sharing Hall A4. The manufactur- ers of floor coverings – from elas- tic (linoleum, PVC, rubber, cork) and textile to laminates and par- quet – are taking up Hall A5 and a part of Hall A6. Chemical building products and construction tools are located in Hall A6 and B6. Leading manufac- turers will be showing how their extensive ranges – from insulation materials to plasters, renders, paints, varnishes and adhesives – can be used on facades and in in- teriors. Also covered are solutions for fire protection and acoustic in- sulation. In the northern part of the exhi- bition center, which has its own entrance, BAU IT will be taking up almost all of Hall C3. BAU IT is the biggest display of its kind in Europe. Halls B1 and C1 are dedi- cated as before to facades and solar-shading systems, and alu- minium profiles. Covering a total of 20,000 square metres of space, this section also includes ma- chines and tools for working with aluminium and steel. Again in 2017, building, facade, solar-shading and energy-gene- rating systems in steel are on dis- play in Hall B2, alongside systems and products in stainless steel, zinc and copper. Close by, also in Hall B2, is the section on energy, building systems and solar tech- nology. Manufacturers will be demonstrating how to integrate technical solutions – air-handling technology, solar architecture – aesthetically into building design. Drive technology for gate and door systems, including parking systems, will again be situated in Hall B3 and a small part of Hall C3. In Hall B5 will be an extensive dis- play of products from the wood industry. Here the focus is on structural timber, interior fittings and wood derivatives. In Hall C2 the leading players in the international glass industry will be showcasing their latest de- velopments and products in glass and glass architecture. Other themes here are building automa- tion and control. Doors and win- dows of wood, plastic, glass and aluminium, plus locks and fittings – these products will be on dis- play in a continuous area covering a total of 21,000 square metres of space in Halls C4 and B4. Here, the trade visitors will find manu- facturers and suppliers in close proximity to each other. One key theme is building security. On show will be a range of different concepts and systems. “Investing in the Future” is the motto in Hall B0. Here, for exam- ple, visitors will be able to make contact with institutes and asso- ciations in the building industry. In the Forum in Hall B0 the themes of building research and funding will be in the spotlight.
