Shading Expo 2026: Windows & Doors

The 2026 edition is presented as the 16th Guangzhou Sunshade and Door & Window Exhibition and is scheduled for July 8–10, 2026 in Guangzhou. The event is positioned as a specialized B2B meeting point for companies working with sun shading systems, window and door products, and related building and architectural solutions, where buyers can compare suppliers, evaluate product positioning, and discuss commercial terms directly on site. The organizer’s own venue notes emphasize Pazhou as a convenient business district with straightforward access and strong market response, which matters for visitors planning a compact schedule of supplier meetings and technical discussions. The show is useful when the procurement goal is to consolidate multiple categories—fabrication-ready systems, components, and finished products—into one trip, especially for projects where lead time, installation constraints, and after-sales support are as important as unit price.

The exhibition theme is centered on sunshade products and the broader window-door industry, which typically includes architectural shading solutions for buildings and villas, as well as systems and accessories that support installation, durability, and long-term operation. From a sourcing and engineering perspective, the value is in comparing approaches that solve practical requirements such as thermal comfort, daylight management, privacy, wind resistance, and weathering performance, while aligning with aesthetic and architectural constraints. The event’s framing also fits renovation and new-build workflows, where the “building envelope” decisions often require coordination between suppliers of windows/doors, shading, hardware, and integration partners. In practice, this makes the show relevant not only to pure product buyers but also to contractors, design-and-build teams, and project managers who need verified suppliers capable of delivering stable quality and predictable delivery schedules.

The organizer describes the exhibition as an industry platform gathering companies that manufacture sun shading products and window-door solutions, with a focus on professional exhibitor and visitor resources built over many years. For visitors, this typically means access to both product manufacturers and supply-chain partners who handle supporting components, installation services, and project coordination—important when the requirement is “deliverable solution” rather than a single SKU. The show format supports negotiation and technical alignment, which helps buyers confirm details that strongly affect total project cost: material selection, finish stability, warranty terms, installation complexity, packaging, and damage-prevention during transport. Because this category is often specification-driven, the ability to meet suppliers face-to-face and validate samples, tolerances, and production capability can materially reduce procurement risk.

The show’s identity and organizer positioning indicate a focus on sunshade products and the window-door segment, which generally covers solution sets rather than isolated parts, especially for residential and commercial building applications. For procurement teams, the practical exhibition output is typically a shortlist of suppliers that can deliver consistent batches, stable finishes, and integration-ready systems for different project types, from villas and garden-related applications to broader building upgrades. The event’s content and navigation structure also suggests multiple parallel “indexes” and related segments under the same organizer portfolio, which usually increases cross-category supplier coverage and enables buyers to validate adjacent needs in one trip. This is helpful when you need to coordinate shading with openings, control systems, and installation accessories under one sourcing plan.

The official event information lists the venue as Guangzhou International Sourcing Centre in Guangzhou. The organizer’s venue notes highlight Pazhou’s accessibility and give practical wayfinding guidance such as a short walk from a nearby metro exit, which is useful for international buyers managing time-sensitive schedules and multiple meetings per day. The venue is also described as having prominent outdoor glass curtain wall advertising and an exhibition footprint around 8,000 m² in the cited venue note, indicating a compact, business-focused show environment where targeted supplier meetings can be prioritized over long travel times between halls.

The organizer is Guangzhou Sloagadar Exhibition Planning Co., Ltd., which states it has been running the Guangzhou Shading & Window-Door Exhibition since the first edition in 2011 and has accumulated exhibitor and visitor resources over repeated annual events. This background is relevant for exhibitors and buyers because continuity usually correlates with repeat supplier participation and a more predictable visitor profile, which improves the efficiency of B2B matchmaking. The organizer’s own communication emphasizes building a platform for shading products and window-door industries for China and other countries, which signals a trade-oriented approach rather than a consumer-facing fair.
