CANTON FAIR 2026 · BUYING GUIDE
Sourcing Doors and Windows from China starts with more than finding an attractive design or competitive price. Learn how to match product specifications with your destination market, climate, building requirements and project goals.
The Canton Fair gives international buyers an opportunity to discover products and connect with Chinese suppliers. For buyers sourcing aluminum windows and doors, however, the next step is understanding which product configuration suits the intended market and project.
A window designed for a mild climate may not meet the performance requirements of a coastal property or a building exposed to severe winters. Likewise, a door specification suitable for one country may not satisfy another market's building regulations.
Before requesting a quotation, identify the destination country, building type, climate conditions and applicable performance requirements. This creates a clearer basis for comparing products and communicating with manufacturers.
01 / TARGET MARKET
Different markets may have different expectations for thermal performance, weather resistance, safety, energy efficiency and product documentation.
United States and Canada
Confirm the project location, applicable building codes, required performance ratings and any product certification requirements before selecting a system.
Australia
Check the relevant Australian requirements for the intended application, including applicable window and door standards and project-specific performance needs.
Europe
Confirm the requirements applicable in the destination country and the intended use of the product, including relevant conformity and performance documentation.
Southeast Asia and other markets
Consider local rainfall, humidity, wind exposure, building design and the regulations applicable to the specific project.
These are general sourcing considerations, not a substitute for checking the current requirements applicable to a particular project.
02 / CLIMATE AND EXPOSURE
Climate and building exposure influence the specifications buyers should discuss with a manufacturer.
For projects in colder regions, buyers may need to evaluate thermal-break profiles, insulated glazing, perimeter sealing and the overall thermal performance of the installed system.
Depending on the building and its orientation, solar control glass, suitable frame configurations and effective weather sealing may be important considerations.
Discuss exposure to wind-driven rain, corrosion risks, drainage design, hardware materials and the required water and wind performance. Suitability should be established against the actual project conditions.
Climate alone does not determine the correct product. Building height, opening dimensions, facade design and local regulations can also affect the specification.
03 / PRODUCT CONFIGURATION
Once the market requirements are understood, buyers can work with the manufacturer to establish the appropriate product configuration.
Confirm the profile system, dimensions, thermal-break configuration where required, and structural suitability for the opening.
Specify the required glass type, thickness and glazing arrangement. Low-E, tempered, laminated or insulated glass should be selected according to the intended application and applicable requirements.
Identify whether the project requires sliding, casement, folding or hinged products. Confirm handles, locks, rollers, hinges and other hardware according to the selected system.
Specify frame colors, surface treatments and design preferences so that the products coordinate with the building facade and project schedule.
04 / PERFORMANCE AND COMPLIANCE
Product selection should be based on documented requirements rather than general claims such as “suitable for all climates” or “meets international standards.”
Depending on the project, relevant considerations may include thermal performance, air leakage, water penetration, wind-load resistance, safety glazing and applicable building-code or certification requirements.
Tell the manufacturer the destination country and project location, then identify the specific standards, ratings and supporting documents required. Confirm that the documentation applies to the proposed product configuration and intended use.
05 / PROJECT COMMUNICATION
A structured brief helps suppliers understand the project and prepare a more relevant proposal. Where available, include:
Not every detail needs to be finalized at the first inquiry. Clearly identifying confirmed requirements and open questions makes subsequent technical discussions more efficient.

Sharing your project location, product list and available drawings before the visit helps us prepare for a more focused discussion.
Start with the destination country's applicable regulations, local climate, building type and project performance requirements. Then select the frame, glass, hardware and configuration to suit those requirements.
They may. Cold, hot, humid or coastal environments can create different thermal, solar-control, weather-resistance and corrosion considerations. The final specification should reflect the actual project conditions.
Provide the destination market, project location, drawings, dimensions, quantities, preferred product types, glass and hardware requirements, and any applicable performance or certification requirements.
Yes. JBDHOME is not exhibiting at the fair, but international buyers can arrange a separate appointment to visit our factory in Foshan and discuss their project requirements.
