Shaping the Future of India’s Construction: The Role of Fenestration

How is the fenestration industry contributing to the transformation of India’s construction sector?
India’s construction industry is witne-ssing a remarkable transformation, and fenestration has emerged as one of the key enablers of this change. Modern windows and doors are no longer viewed as mere structural components—they have become integral to enhancing energy efficiency, aesthetics, and overall comfort in buildings.

The industry’s shift from traditional wooden and aluminum systems to advanced uPVC solutions has elevated design flexibility, sustainability, and quality. uPVC windows and doors offer superior insulation, weather resistance, and low maintenance, making them the preferred choice among builders, architects, and homeowners alike.

At Deceuninck, we strongly believe that fenestration is driving India’s transition toward green, energy-efficient construction. Our European-enginee-red profiles are designed to minimize energy loss, enhance indoor comfort, and support the country’s vision for sustainable and durable building solutions.

What are the latest demand trends observed in the Indian market for fenestration products in the current scenario?
The Indian market is seeing a sharp rise in demand for premium, maintenance-free, and energy-efficient fenestration systems. Consumers today are more informed and value-driven—they are looking for products that deliver performance, aesthetics, and long-term savings.

There is a clear preference for uPVC systems, owing to their insulation benefits, durability, and modern design appeal. The trend is leaning towards larger openings, minimalist frames, and wide sliding systems that allow more natural light and ventilation.

Interestingly, Tier-II and Tier-III cities are becoming major growth hubs. Rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and lifestyle upgrades are fueling demand for modern windows and doors. Post-pandemic, the emphasis on quieter, brighter, and energy-efficient homes has further strengthened the market for Deceuninck’s advanced uPVC solutions.

How do you perceive the growing role of fenestration in modern architec-tural and infrastructure projects?
Fenestration today is at the heart of modern architecture. It defines how buildings interact with their environ-ment—balancing design, comfort, and sustainability.

From high-rise apartments and commercial spaces to hospitals and IT parks, projects now demand energy-efficient, soundproof, and durable systems. Properly designed fenestration can reduce energy consumption, improve air quality, and create comfortable indoor environments.

At Deceuninck, we collaborate closely with architects and developers to deliver tailored uPVC systems that meet both technical and aesthetic goals. Our solutions empower architects to push creative boundaries while supporting India’s mission toward sustainable infrastructure.

What are the key challenges currently prevailing in the Indian fenestration market?
The foremost challenge lies in awareness and education. Many customers still focus on upfront costs rather than evaluating lifecycle value, performance, and energy savings.
The unorganized sector also contributes to inconsistent quality and improper installation practices, leading to poor product perception. Moreover, the lack of standardized testing and certification frameworks limits consumers’ ability to make informed choices.
At Deceuninck, we address these challenges through fabricator training programs, installer support, and collabo-rations with architects to promote high-performance fenestration. We are actively engaging with industry associa-tions to establish stronger certification standards and promote sustainable, quality-driven building practices across India.

How do you foresee the upcoming opportunities in the fenestration segment? What factors will drive growth and adoption in the near future?
The outlook for India’s fenestration market is highly promising. The government’s initiatives on affordable housing, smart cities, and energy-efficient construction will be major growth catalysts.

Key growth drivers include:

• Increased awareness of energy savings and acoustic comfort.
• Wider adoption of green building certifications like IGBC, GRIHA, and LEED.
• Rising demand from Tier-II and Tier-III cities driven by real estate expansion.
• Growing focus on customized designs and aesthetics for homes and commercial spaces.
• uPVC will continue to dominate this transformation owing to its durability, energy efficiency, and design versatility.

As part of our commitment, Deceuninck Profiles India is strengthening its fabricator network, expanding local manufacturing capacity, and continuously introducing innovative, eco-friendly solutions that redefine the standards of modern construction in India.
