Seasons Greetings

Christmas is almost here (just 10 days till the big day) and that means we close our doors for our annual Christmas shutdown, allowing the entire CB team to recover after what can only be described as an exceptional year, which saw sales of our award winning Outdoor Living Pod almost double.

Our factory and offices will close tomorrow Friday 16th December at 4pm and re-open Wednesday 3rd January at 9am (factory Thursday 4th January at 7am).

During our festive shutdown we will be monitoring all emails to our info@ email address so if you have an urgent enquiry or need to get in contact with us please email info@cbsolarshading.co.uk

A big thank you goes out to all our customers throughout the whole of the UK who have trusted us with their external shading requirements along with our suppliers and partners. We’ve enjoyed the wide range of projects we have worked on, transforming outdoor spaces and keeping indoor spaces cool. Noteable projects include the installation of a louvered pergola canopy as a security shelter at the British Airways i360 on the seafront at Brighton (see pics above) and the multiple Outdoor Living Pod installation with many bespoke features to the roof terrace of a gastropub in the heart of Kings Cross – the perfect alfresco spot dining and drinking spot with sweeping views across the city.

2017 is a big year for CB, as it marks 30 years in business, so you can expect plenty to be going on, from new product launches including a cabrio version of our Outdoor Living Pod (see taster pics below), to the set up of new ‘outdoor living’ show sites and shading experience centres plus lots of exclusive anniversary offers.

From the entire CB team we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year.
