External Shading for Any Weather in Outdoor Spaces

In built-up environments outdoor space is limited and this typically occurs with courtyard-style terraces. Furthermore, these type of terraces tend to be the worse sun traps as there is nowhere to escape from the heat besides indoors, which of course is the last place you want to be on a lovely hot Summer’s day!

Fear not, for a Caribbean awning can turn your courtyard garden into a shady oasis, where you can enjoy ‘the great outdoors’ without sweltering in the heat, just like the Polley’s from Colchester, Essex, following a visit to Grand Designs where our shading experts demonstrated the numerous lifestyle advantages installing an awning would bring along with the superior features of the CB brand of products.

A premium Cuba model awning (pictured above) in our special offer white hardware finish with complementing two tone anthracite fabric (that matches the grey colour of the inside of their doors) installed in less than four weeks, has transformed this small outdoor space enabling them to enjoy outdoor living to the max, both cool from the summer sun and sheltered from Winter (and Summer) showers.

Here’s what the Polley’s think of their awning and the service from CB.

“I am very happy with the awning, it has given our courtyard a wonderful feel plus will provide the shade we need.

I have been very impressed with the service your company has provided, right from meeting you at Grand Designs to the fitting today by two great guys who done a lovely job.”

No matter how big or small your garden/terrace, we can design and manufacture an external shading solution to suit. Our shading experts are only a phone call away on 0344 800 1947, ready to discuss the right solution for your terrace transformation, whether a contemporary awning or modern louvered pergola (pictured below).
