DOMOTEX, the leading trade fair for flooring, is launching with an expanded concept, establishing itself as the “Home of Flooring and Interior Finishing.” From 2026 onwards, DOMOTEX will take a more holistic approach to flooring and interior construction with six new product categories.
In addition to its well-established flooring segments, DOMOTEX is expanding its portfolio to include ceramic tiles, wall and ceiling elements, paints and coatings, wallpapers, outdoor flooring, and sun protection & shading.
“Flooring is our DNA – and in 2026, we are showcasing it with an even broader offering. With our new concept, we are responding to the evolving demands of the market and creating synergies across all trades. DOMOTEX is becoming a one-stop shop for all stakeholders – from retail and trade to craftsmen and architects. We offer a unique format that brings flooring, walls, and ceilings together, putting the entire interior finishing sector in the spotlight. The industry has already shown strong interest, and we have secured key players early on. The positive feedback confirms that we are on the right track,” says Sonia Wedell-Castellano.
