Key takeaways
- EquipBaie-Métalexpo is no longer a standalone trade show: since 2024 it has been integrated into the Mondial du Bâtiment as the "Équipbaie-Métalexpo by Batimat" sector (source: Batiactu, Le Moniteur) → exhibiting here means having a presence within Batimat in the window, closure and façade sector, not at a dedicated trade show.
- 388 exhibitors confirmed in 2024 for the Équipbaie-Métalexpo sector (source: Mondial du Bâtiment press release, reported by Le Moniteur) → a sector well represented at the major building industry gathering.
- No attendance figure of its own: only the overall attendance of the 2024 Mondial du Bâtiment is published (more than 135,000 participants, across all trade shows, source: L'Écho de la baie) → do not attribute it to EquipBaie alone.
- Next edition: 28 September to 1 October 2026, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, within the Mondial du Bâtiment, organised by RX France (source: Batirama).

How much it costs to exhibit
Exhibitor rates not published: quote on request from RX France. As EquipBaie-Métalexpo is a sector of the Mondial du Bâtiment organised by RX France, the per-m² ranges are likely close to those of Batimat (€250-400/m² for bare stand space in 2026, source: cimbat.com via the Batimat pilot), to be confirmed by direct quote.
Preparing your visit
For the exhibitor
- 18 months out: initial contact with RX France, choice of sector pavilion.
- 12 months out: stand concept sign-off, application for the Innovation Awards.
- 6 months out: stand plan, construction order.
- 3 months out: accreditations, accommodation.
- 6 weeks out: delivery of materials, final briefing.
For the decision-making visitor
- The badge grants access to the entire Mondial du Bâtiment: combine with Batimat for the full construction sector.
- Target the RENODAYS Masterclasses and the award-winning new products in Joinery and Façades.
Policy & CSR initiatives
EquipBaie-Métalexpo's CSR focus is on energy renovation and summer comfort: the RENODAYS Masterclasses, the "summer comfort" demonstrator and the integration of closures and solar protection into support schemes (MaPrimeRénov') shaped the 2024 edition, with an emphasis on reuse (source: Batiweb, L'Écho de la baie). The decarbonisation theme is announced for 2026 (source: Business BTP).

Trajectory analysis
Since 2024, EquipBaie-Métalexpo has lost its status as a standalone trade show (it gathered around 20,000 visitors in 2014) to become a sector of the Mondial du Bâtiment, with 388 exhibitors in 2024. This integration gives it access to Batimat's vast visitor base but dilutes its own identity. To watch for 2026: the visibility of the window-closure-façade sector within the Mondial du Bâtiment and the impact of solar protection entering the Innovation Awards.
