Caribbean Blinds set to showcase innovative solar shading solutions at the 2025 FIT Show

Caribbean Blinds, the leading supplier of external shading solutions, is proud to announce that it will be attending the 2025 FIT Show at the NEC in Birmingham on 29 April.

During the three-day exhibition, the Suffolk-based manufacturer will showcase its premium range of external blinds, patio awnings and louvered roof pergolas, highlighting how these innovative solutions can help installers effectively tackle solar heat gain and meet Part O requirements without compromising on window size.

Addressing the implications of the government’s Part O building regulations, which aim to prevent overheating in new residential buildings, is a priority for the team at Caribbean Blinds who actively champion solar shading in the sector.

Stuart Dantzic, MD at Caribbean Blinds, said: “The Part O regulations have changed the landscape for glazing professionals. Rather than reducing window sizes, external shading provides the perfect solution that maintains the benefits of large glazed areas while preventing overheating. Our products block up to 97% of solar heat energy, meaning they can effortlessly regulate indoor temperatures.

“Attending exhibitions like this creates a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase how our products not only create comfortable indoor and outdoor living environments but also present significant business opportunities for ambitious installers.”

Visitors to the Caribbean Blinds stand will also experience the company’s market-leading louvered pergolas. These all-weather solutions enable year-round use of outdoor spaces and could be a fantastic upsell opportunity for glazing professionals looking to expand their product portfolio.

“At the FIT Show, we’ll demonstrate how our external shading systems can transform any outdoor space into a functional living area that can be enjoyed 365 days a year, come sun, wind, rain or even snow,” adds Stuart. ” For installers, this represents a significant opportunity to expand their offering, providing quality systems that offer many benefits to homeowners.”
