Caribbean Blinds success at 2024 Grand Designs Live

Classic Lite Pod at Grand Designs Live 2024

The doors for Grand Designs live at London ExCel have officially shut and we’re looking back at what an incredible nine days it has been at this prestigious exhibition.

As external shading specialists, we were chosen to be part of the first-ever Grand House at London, a unique property built by the Grand Designs team, designed to educate and inspire visitors by showcasing various stunning and innovative brands.

Having first attended Grand Designs 12 years ago to launch the first louvered pergola to the UK market, it made sense to use this fantastic opportunity to showcase our most affordable pergola. So, we selected our Classic Lite Pod to become a prominent feature within the Grand House garden.

Manufactured within just 10 days, the Classic Lite Pod makes a fantastic addition to any outdoor space and visitors at Grand Designs Live 2024 were given an exclusive opportunity to review the product in person.

With its waterproof opening louvered roof that can be effortlessly adjusted, users can find the perfect amount of sun, shade or shelter. Plus, with a range of unique add-ons including windproof side screens, infra-red heating and integrated LED lighting homeowners will be well protected against the elements so they can relax and enjoy their outdoor experience.

At Caribbean Blinds, we have a real passion for providing premium external shading systems, so our team of specialists always prioritise every detail of the products and work tirelessly to guarantee they look fantastic, last a lifetime and are incredibly easy to install.

While we were only able to select one of our garden pergolas to display at Grand Designs Live, we have a complete range of louvered pergolas, and each one has its own unique features and benefits. Review each model and explore how it can be customised to meet your needs here.

Reflecting on the success of the event, our MD Stuart Dantzic, said: “It was fantastic to be asked by the Grand Designs team to showcase our highly sought after louvered pergola in the incredible Grand House garden space.

“It’s been 12 years since we attended Grand Designs, so it was incredible to be invited back to be part of such an iconic moment in the exhibition’s history.

“There’s nothing better than speaking to prospective customers face-to-face and we’re extremely proud of being given the opportunity to showcase our Classic Lite Pod to demonstrate how this innovative solution is perfect for creating an indoor-outdoor experience popular among many homeowners in the UK.”
