Suppliers of Kitchens, Bathrooms, Insulation, Doors & Windows, Floor Covering, Stoves & Fireplaces as well as attic access & conversions and DIY tools all benefit from exhibiting in EXTEND Expo.

Exhibitors will have the opportunity of adding to their presence at the event by booking concessions in the extension. All products/equipment which are suitable for inclusion will be promoted as part of the extension feature.
