The Canton Fair 2026 dates in October follow a three-phase schedule. Phase 2, held from October 23 to 27, 2026 at the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou, covers furniture, building materials and related product categories. For international buyers sourcing windows, doors and sunrooms, this phase provides a defined period to assess market supply before moving into supplier-level technical review. KANOD Door and Window, an aluminum window and door manufacturer based in Foshan, accepts factory and showroom appointments for buyers attending the fair.

Canton Fair 2026 October Phase 2: Procurement Context

The 140th Canton Fair opens on October 15, 2026. Phase 1 runs from October 15 to 19 and focuses on electronics, machinery, hardware and new energy. Phase 2 runs from October 23 to 27 and covers building materials, furniture, sanitary ware, decorative products, integrated housing and outdoor living categories. Phase 3 runs from October 31 to November 4 and covers apparel, textiles, food, medical supplies and office products.

Phase 2 is relevant to project procurement because several product groups frequently appear in the same construction or renovation package. A hotel project may require windows and doors, bathroom products, furniture and outdoor shading. An apartment development may combine aluminum window systems, sunroom structures and curtain walls. A villa or resort project may include entrance doors, glass balustrades and outdoor furniture. Reviewing these categories within one phase reduces travel time and supports preliminary supplier screening.

Application Scenarios for Furniture and Building Materials Sourcing

For hotel renovation, apartment development and villa projects, Phase 2 serves as a broad market review. Buyers can compare product directions, surface finishes, packaging standards and supplier communication before committing to detailed technical discussions.

The exhibition also helps buyers identify whether a supplier’s product range aligns with project requirements. After the initial review, a factory visit provides operational evidence that exhibition samples cannot fully demonstrate, including production control, inspection procedures, packing methods and export documentation.

KANOD Product Scope: Windows, Doors and Sunrooms

Kanod Door and Window, referred to as KANOD, manufactures aluminum windows and doors, entrance doors, sunrooms, curtain wall systems and glass balustrades. CE-certified options are available for suitable residential and commercial applications. The company maintains a manufacturing base and showroom in Foshan for buyer appointments.

During a KANOD visit, buyers can review opening types, frame profiles, surface finishes, glass configurations, hardware and sealing details. The showroom supports product comparison, while the production area allows buyers to observe fabrication, assembly, inspection and packing procedures. Buyers may review aluminum window and door systems and sunroom solutions before the appointment to prepare a focused technical agenda.

Factory Visit Procedure: Project Briefing to Logistics

A factory visit is more effective when it follows a structured agenda. KANOD can organize the appointment around six stages.

1. Project briefing: project type, destination market, drawings, quantities, performance priorities and delivery targets.
2. Showroom comparison: opening types, sightlines, finishes, glass options, hardware and operating performance.
3. Material review: profile sections, reinforcement, seals, glazing build-up, hardware and surface samples.
4. Production walk-through: cutting, machining, assembly, glazing, inspection and handling procedures.
5. Quality and documentation: inspection records, relevant reports, sample approval and change control.
6. Packaging and logistics: protection, labels, crates, loading plan, spare parts and export document packages.

A showroom-focused visit may take half a day. A detailed review covering drawings, multiple product systems, production observation and packaging inspection generally requires a full day.

Comparison Guide: Showroom Review and Factory Audit

A showroom review is suitable for product direction, surface finishes and basic configuration. It helps buyers determine whether the supplier’s product range matches the project category and design intent.

A factory audit addresses production control, quality procedures, consistency and logistics readiness. For hotel, apartment, villa and commercial projects, this stage supports risk assessment before purchase order confirmation. The two activities serve different purposes and are often scheduled together.

Buying Advice for Phase 2 and Factory Scheduling

Buyers attending Phase 2 may schedule a KANOD factory visit before October 23 to establish a technical benchmark, then use the exhibition to compare the wider market. Alternatively, buyers may attend Phase 2 first, shortlist suppliers, and arrange the factory visit afterward.

Before the appointment, prepare the project type and destination country, architectural drawings or window and door schedules, approximate quantities, preferred frame colors and finishes, and performance priorities such as thermal, acoustic, security and weather requirements.
