Celebrating 25th anniversary of the Roof-Solar-Craft Fair (original name Roofs Prague, Solar Prague, Craft Prague)
The fair has gradually developed from humble beginnings into a key and respected event in the industry, connecting experts, craftsmen and enthusiasts of the roofing world. Over the course of a quarter of a century, we have together gone through an incredible journey of continuous development and improvement of the trade fair, which today presents the best in roofing and energy saving. It is also an indispensable source of information for professionals and the general public.
