Product categories

According to the organiser, the fair's product categories include:

• Insulation and building chemicals
• Façades and roofing

Visitors include architects, contractors, developers, distributors and buyers from Türkiye and abroad; the organiser also runs a hosted buyer programme. Categories and hall plans can change from one edition to the next, so check the current list on the official website.

Using your own materials in the stand

If you make cladding, panels, tiles, flooring or ceilings, consider building them into the stand rather than only hanging samples on a wall. Tell your stand builder early which surfaces should be in your own products, how they are fixed, and who supplies and installs them. Your installers may need to work alongside the stand crew during build-up.

Mock-ups, cross-sections and system demonstrations

Architects and contractors like to see how a system is built: a wall or roof cross-section, a window installation detail or an insulation layer that can be touched. Mock-ups need structural support and floor area, so include their size and weight in the brief.

Heavy samples and floor loading

Stone, ceramics, glass, steel profiles and machinery are heavy. Pallets of samples and large panels need forklift access, reinforced shelving or plinths, and a delivery slot that fits the build-up schedule. Ask the organiser about floor loading in your hall if you plan very heavy exhibits.

Construction machinery and outdoor exhibits

Larger equipment may not fit indoors or may need an outdoor area. If you exhibit machinery, ask the organiser which display areas are available, how vehicles are brought in and what the access times are, before you design the stand.

Sample libraries and catalogue handling

Building-material stands attract many requests for samples and catalogues. Plan a sample library or swatch wall, lockable storage for stock and a way to capture contact details, so samples go to qualified leads.

Meeting areas for project buyers

Discussions with developers and contractors are often about specific projects, specifications and pricing. Semi-private meeting tables with screens for drawings or BIM models help, especially if you expect international hosted buyers.

Approvals and build-up schedule

Large or two-storey stands, rigging and unusual structures typically need drawings approved in advance. Confirm the requirements, deadlines and build-up and dismantling windows with the organiser, and make sure your stand builder and your own installers work to the same schedule.

What is included — and what is not

Before you compare prices, check whether each quote includes:

• Design, 3D visuals and revision rounds
• Construction, flooring and walls — and which surfaces are left for your own products
• Substructures, plinths and supports for mock-ups and heavy samples
• Furniture, storage and sample displays
• Graphics, screens and lighting
• Electrical installation on the stand
• Transport, build-up and dismantling crew
• Items usually ordered separately, such as the main power connection, forklifts, cleaning and waste removal
• Payment terms, insurance and whether stand elements can be reused
