A drive to improve product knowledge has led to all members of Caribbean Blinds’s staff training to become Smart Solar Shading Advisors.
All the Sudbury-based firm’s employees went on a one-day training course curated by the European Solar Shading Organisation and run by the British Blind and Shutter Association in the UK, providing them with a comprehensive understanding of solar shading products, their impact on buildings and the people living and working in them.
This accreditation further strengthens Caribbean Blinds’ position as the leader in the solar shading industry, equipping the team with the expertise to offer detailed expert advice on topics ranging from energy efficiency to improving comfort, health and overall building performance.
Stuart Dantzic, Managing Director of Caribbean Blinds, said: “It’s essential that our whole team shares the same in-depth knowledge of solar shading. By doing this training together, we ensure that we can confidently recommend the most effective solutions for any project.
“This accreditation helps understand how external shading solutions perform in real-world settings and how they contribute to the comfort and sustainability of a building.”
The course covered key areas such as the science of solar radiation, how shading affects energy use, and the economic and environmental benefits of dynamic shading systems. It also equipped the team with the skills to interpret performance data, ensuring that Caribbean Blinds can provide informed recommendations for residential and commercial projects.
In addition to the accreditation, Caribbean Blinds can now use the official Smart Solar Shading Advisor logo, reflecting the team’s enhanced expertise.
