Batibouw is Belgium's largest trade fair for construction, renovation and home improvement, held each February at Brussels Expo. The 2026 edition, its 67th, runs 7-15 February 2026 across more than 70,000 sqm. Organised by Fisa, Batibouw spans 14 sectors covering building, renovation, interior design, kitchens and bathrooms, heating and energy, and draws over 200,000 attendees, combining trade days with strong public and consumer interest.
Batibouw is a mixed trade-and-consumer fair with a long nine-day run, which shapes stand design toward durability and broad appeal. Exhibitors present building products, kitchens, bathrooms and home systems to both professionals and homeowners, so stands need robust construction that withstands sustained public footfall, clear product demonstration, and space for consultations and sales conversations. Many stands are effectively showrooms, presenting installed kitchens, bathrooms or building systems.
Batibouw fills the Brussels Expo halls organised by sector, so hall placement relative to a company's category affects footfall. The nine-day duration means stands must hold up physically and stay staffed across a long period, and Brussels Expo's build rules apply to build-up and dismantle. Given the length of the fair and the showroom nature of many stands, exhibitors confirm stand design and hall placement well in advance.
For companies exhibiting at Batibouw, a builder with Brussels and Brussels Expo experience is a practical advantage: showroom-style stands presenting installed products benefit from robust construction for a long public run, and local knowledge of the venue's logistics, load-in and approved contractors reduces risk during Belgium's largest construction fair.
