On October 25, the second phase of the 140th Canton Fair entered its third day. With the theme of "Quality Home Furnishings", this edition of the Canton Fair focuses on displaying three major sectors: household products, gifts and decorations, and building materials and furniture. Among them, green and low-carbon products have become a highlight of the exhibition.
The current global green transformation process continues to advance, and green products from China accurately meet the development needs of various countries. Relying on the Canton Fair platform, a number of green building materials such as plant fiber recycled materials, calcium silicate boards, and recycled aluminum profiles, together with integrated prefabricated building solutions, meet the global procurement needs for low-carbon buildings and cultural tourism camps, becoming a typical representative of exhibitors' green overseas expansion.
Environmental protection and appearance, you don’t have to choose one or the other.
In the construction and decoration materials area, the booth of Guangdong Golden Aluminum immediately attracted reporters and several overseas buyers with its green decoration style - the green-based wall is embedded with aluminum door frames and windows of different sizes, and rows of various wood grain profiles and plates are embellished among them. The merchants observed, touched, and tapped the materials. They squatted down and smiled knowingly when they saw the cross-section.
"These wood grain parts are not wood, but aluminum alloy imitation wood grain profiles." Xiao Xiong, a staff member of the Gordon Aluminum Sales Department, told reporters that the company focuses on mid-to-high-end aluminum profile products. Aluminum is corrosion-resistant, non-absorbent, non-mouldy, non-moth-eaten, and has high recycling value. After the building is demolished, aluminum rarely becomes construction waste.
The staff member mentioned that many overseas customers value the strength and durability of aluminum, but they cannot give up their pursuit of the texture of wooden homes. In order to make the profile closer to wood, Gordon Aluminum applies matte electrophoresis technology to aluminum processing to solve the problem of metallic luster on the surface of aluminum, and then superimposes super-sensitive wood grain technology to make the material look and feel closer to wood.
Sinoma Energy Conservation from Wuhan is also committed to helping customers solve their “need and want” needs. At the booth of Sinoma Energy Conservation (Wuhan), the staff showed reporters that the textures of wood grain boards and brick grain boards were lifelike - the former was extruded with a template and then painted when the board was formed, and the latter was completed by 3D printing; the ecological aesthetics are right in front of you, but the base material is a low-emission material.
"The product does not contain harmful substances such as asbestos, formaldehyde, and benzene." Company staff said that the current domestic calcium silicate board technology is very mature and the main raw materials can be asbestos-free, mainly quartz sand, cement, and paper pulp. The quartz sand can be replaced by recycled materials such as tail mud eliminated by glass factories, and recycled materials can be added to all base materials. It is worth noting that the fire rating of calcium silicate board can reach Class A, the highest domestic standard, and can even be used as a wall lining instead of gypsum board.
Quick disassembly and assembly, and can be "customized on demand"
Since the first integrated housing area was established at the 137th Canton Fair, this area has become one of the popular areas for overseas buyers to visit. The reporter came to the 12.0 outdoor pavilion of the integrated housing and courtyard facilities area of this Canton Fair, where "house viewing groups" had already gathered.
"I have seen videos of China's star cabins on the Internet before. My partners also want to invest in leisure resorts. This year I specially brought them to the Canton Fair to have a look." Mohamed Misuni from Morocco showed reporters several photos of integrated houses he had taken. Among them, he particularly liked the house with a glass curtain wall as the facade.
At Guangdong Jinweijian's booth, there were several sales staff and overseas buyers crowded inside a steel structure integrated house with simple design and tough lines.
This company has more than ten years of export experience, and its products are far more soundproof, thermally insulated and comfortable than traditional simple board houses. Relying on modular design, a standard shipping container can carry several to more than ten housing units depending on the size of the unit, which is suitable for large-volume projects going overseas. Jin Weijian's export business manager Yao Liqian said that Jin Weijian's products have been widely used in government projects in Southeast Asia, mining camp dormitories in South America and other projects, adapting to the large-scale accommodation needs in local mining areas and parks.
In addition to exporting products, Jin Weijian's core advantage lies in its customization capabilities. The supporting technology and sales team can go overseas to assist in early planning and later installation and implementation.
On the cultural tourism track, Guangdong Songtao Landscape Gardening’s wooden house-shaped modular B&B breaks away from the square shape of traditional board houses and integrates ecology, environmental protection and appearance design. The base material of the entire house is formaldehyde-free and odor-free, and the finishes can be flexibly chosen between imitation bamboo aluminum and natural bamboo; the walls are cast with silicon carbide, and a modular assembly model is adopted. Instead of months of reinforced concrete construction, the entire resort can be assembled in 3 to 5 days, which is very suitable for the current cultural tourism construction boom in South Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and other places.
