Fenestration is an unforgiving industry to exhibit in. Your buyers — façade consultants, architects, builders, fabricator-dealers — judge door and window systems by running a hand along a profile and swinging a sash. A stall with rough edges contradicts the product standing inside it.
That's the brief for Zak Doors & Windows Expo 2026 — the 22nd International Trade Fair on Doors, Windows & Façades — running 10–12 December at Yashobhoomi (IICC), Dwarka, New Delhi. Published six weeks and a half out, this guide lands inside the ideal custom-stall booking window.

What a fenestration stall must do
Working samples beat pictures — by a mile
This is a touch-and-operate industry. Full-size operating samples — a sliding system that glides, a casement that closes with the right sound, a hardware wall at hand height — are the display strategy. Build frames that let buyers operate products without queuing, and brace them for three days of enthusiastic slamming.
Your stall's finish is read as your factory's finish
At most shows, build quality is a background signal; here it is practically a demonstration. Crisp shadow gaps, dead-straight verticals, flush junctions — fenestration buyers notice millimetres professionally. This is why our workshop standard is a 100% mock-up test before dispatch: at this show, "almost aligned" is a visible defect.
Cross-sections tell the technical story
Profile cut-sections — thermal breaks, chamber structures, gasket lines — displayed at eye level with clean lighting do the engineering talk before your team does. The aluminium-industry stalls we covered in our Aluminium Bharat guide proved the same logic: when the product is a profile, the specimen is the star.
Plan for the dealer conversation
Fenestration shows draw channel buyers looking for dealership terms. That conversation needs a seated corner with documentation — not a standing chat by a display. Protect meeting space in the layout.
Yashobhoomi, briefly
The venue is Delhi's newest major exhibition centre; we've mapped its practicalities — Dwarka location, airport-side access, per-show rules — in our Yashobhoomi exhibitor's guide. As always, the exhibitor manual governs heights, approvals and build windows: get it to your builder the day it arrives (how approvals work).
Your timeline from today
Opening is about 6–7 weeks from this article's publish date — the comfortable window for a full custom build, with the double-decker option (10–12 weeks) already closed. Decide this fortnight and you keep full material and design choice; December build slots in Delhi NCR tighten as the month approaches.

## FAQWhen and where is Zak Doors & Windows Expo 2026? 10–12 December 2026 at Yashobhoomi (IICC), Dwarka, New Delhi — the 22nd edition, organized by Zak Trade Fairs.
What should a doors-and-windows stall prioritize? Operating full-size samples, eye-level profile cut-sections, flawless stall finish (your build quality is read as factory quality), and a seated corner for dealership conversations.
Is there still time for a custom stall? Yes — about six weeks out is the comfortable window. Decide within the fortnight for full options; double-deck structures are no longer feasible for this edition.
What does a stall at Yashobhoomi cost? The India range applies: ₹7,000–₹25,000 per sq metre for custom design and fabrication, depending on design — see the cost guide — plus venue-specific logistics.
Can samples be operated by visitors at the stall? That's the point of the show — design display frames for repeated visitor operation and specify hardware mounting for three days of heavy use.
