CANTON FAIR 2026 · SOURCING GUIDE
Combine your Canton Fair visit with selected supplier meetings in Foshan to compare products, review specifications and make your building materials sourcing trip more productive.
A SMARTER SOURCING JOURNEY
Planning a sourcing trip to Guangdong for the 2026 Autumn Canton Fair? For international building material buyers, the trip can be used for more than discovering products at an exhibition.
Customized building products such as aluminum windows and doors, entrance doors, interior doors, cabinets and glass railings often require a closer review of specifications, materials, hardware and project requirements. Combining the exhibition with selected supplier visits can give you a more complete understanding before making sourcing decisions.
PREPARE → DISCOVER → VISIT → VERIFY → DISCUSS
01 · BEFORE YOUR TRIP
Do not wait until you enter the exhibition hall to decide what you need. Organize your requirements by product category, project priority and the information suppliers will need to prepare a meaningful quotation.
| Product | Information to Prepare |
|---|---|
| Aluminum Windows | Opening type, dimensions, glass and finish |
| Sliding / Folding Doors | Opening size, panel configuration and glazing |
| Entrance Doors | Size, design, finish and access requirements |
| Interior Doors | Quantity, dimensions, style and finish |
| Cabinets & Wardrobes | Layout, dimensions, materials and finishes |
| Glass Railings | Application, dimensions and mounting requirements |
02 · PRODUCT DISCOVERY
Trade exhibitions are useful for discovering products, identifying potential suppliers and understanding different configurations available in the market. However, professional buyers should avoid comparing suppliers only by product appearance or initial price.
| CHECK Product ConfigurationUnderstand the complete system rather than judging only by appearance. | COMPARE Materials & HardwareCompare profiles, glazing, hardware, sealing and finish options. | DISCUSS Project RequirementsAsk how products can be configured for your project and destination market. |
03 · SUPPLIER EVALUATION
After identifying potential suppliers, visiting them in person can provide another level of information. It allows you to see actual products and discuss questions that are difficult to answer from a catalogue alone.
| ✓ Can I see the actual product system? | ✓ Can the configuration be customized? |
| ✓ What profile and glass options are available? | ✓ What hardware options can be selected? |
| ✓ How are customized dimensions handled? | ✓ How are products prepared for export? |
SEE THE PRODUCTS IN PERSON
A supplier visit gives buyers the opportunity to move beyond photos and catalogues. At JBDHOME, you can review actual product systems, compare materials and finishes, and discuss configurations according to your project requirements.

04 · PROJECT DISCUSSION
If you already have an active project, bring the project with you. Providing clear drawings and specifications allows the discussion to move from general product information toward configurations suitable for your actual requirements.
| ✓ Architectural Drawings | ✓ Door & Window Schedule |
| ✓ Opening Dimensions | ✓ Product Quantities |
| ✓ Glass Requirements | ✓ Colors & Finishes |
| ✓ Hardware Requirements | ✓ Project Location & Standards |
05 · SUPPLIER COMPARISON
One common sourcing mistake is comparing quotations without confirming whether suppliers are offering the same specification. Two products can look similar while using different profiles, glazing, hardware or configurations.
| Compare | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Profile | System and configuration |
| Glass | Type and glazing configuration |
| Hardware | Type and configuration |
| Finish | Color and surface treatment |
| Standards | Requirements for the destination market |
| Packaging | Protection for international shipping |
Buyer Tip: Compare like with like. A quotation only becomes meaningful when the product specifications being compared are clear.
