External shading specialist, Caribbean Blinds, has won the title of ‘Best Garden Buy’ for one of its best-selling products, the Outdoor Living Pod, in the Real Homes Awards 2020.
Caribbean Blinds was competing against three different products from online furniture and homeware giant, Wayfair.
By making the initial shortlist, the Real Homes expert judging panel said that the Outdoor Living Pod displayed some of the highest ratings across multiple areas including durability, aesthetic appeal and value for money. The award was then decided by a public vote.
Stuart Dantzic, managing director at Caribbean Blinds, commented: “The entire team at Caribbean Blinds couldn’t be more excited to take home a national award from such a well-known and credible publication as Real Homes Magazine.
“We’d like to thank all of our loyal customers for their support and for taking the time to vote – the response we’ve received is the reason why we have won and also why we do what we do!
“We work tirelessly to ensure our products are manufactured to the highest calibre and reflect the standard of the outdoor spaces we transform, so this highly coveted award is great recognition of everyone’s continued, outstanding work.”
Lucy Searle, Global Editor in Chief at Real Homes, added: “Real Homes would like to congratulate Caribbean Blinds for winning the best garden product category for the Outdoor Living Pod in the Real Homes Awards 2020. Our judging panel really rated the product – and the public agreed!”
2020 is said to have been a successful year for Caribbean Blinds, with the shading specialist launching a dedicated ‘Holiday at Home’ campaign, designed to encourage consumers to create their very own ‘slice of paradise’ in their garden.
The family-run firm says that it celebrated four consecutive record-breaking months (May through August 2020) with July sales almost doubling compared to 2019. In addition to this, Caribbean Blinds took home the Family Business of the Year ‘People’s Choice Award’ in June this year.
