Most of all, congratulations to The Goal Diggers on their historic win in our inaugural Umbra Football Tournament 🏆

Happy birthday, Umbra!

Today we kicked off our celebrations in the only way appropriate... with cake and whiskey (just the cake for now, though!).

We also saw it as the perfect opportunity to celebrate those who've been with us for a long time.

Aaron - 5 years
Marshall - 5 years
Paul - 8 years
Gareth - 8 years
Daniel - 8 years
Larne - 10 years
Harry - 11 years
Colin - 18 years

Well done, all, and thank you for your continued service.

We also had a visit from our local MP for Gower, Tonia Antoniazzi, for a tour around our production, R&D and training academy.

Today's milestone is about more than looking back: it's about celebrating continuity and progress in the shading industry.

We attribute our 5 decades of success to how we treat our staff, customers, and industry partners, coupled with our proactive approach towards innovation and embracing new ways of solving old problems.

Here's to the next 50.

P.s, stay tuned for the second day of celebrations on Monday ⚽️

07/11/2025

Today, we celebrate an enormous milestone.

For the past 50 years, we've delivered dynamic shading solutions to homes and businesses across the UK and beyond.

A lot has changed in those 5 decades, but today, we celebrate what has stayed the same.

1️⃣ - Our commitment to our workforce
2️⃣ - Our dedication to our customers
3️⃣ - The passion for our products and services.

Our steadfast commitment to those ethics is why we're now in the 1.3% of all UK businesses that have been established for 50 years or more.

Thank you to all of our customers and industry supporters, thank you to our suppliers, and most of all, thank you to our friends and colleagues who have made Umbra what it is, every day, for the past 5 decades.

✅ Perfectly flat fabrics
✅ Ease of installation
✅ Easy concealment
✅ Consistent style throughout the interior

Optimised for motorisation*, you can be sure your customer gets reliable, beautiful blinds that move together in show-stopping harmony every day.

For consistent style, beautiful motion and customer satisfaction, no other roller blind system does it all like Evolve.

How did we make the world's fastest blind even better?

Our new ultra-slim brackets are powder-coated to RAL 7021 (black grey) to negate the need for bracket covers.

This makes the light gap between blinds even smaller.

Combine new Evolve Fascia with Evolve Zero for the best way to reduce light gaps.

Choose roller blinds up to 5m wide on a 44mm tube, with ultra-slim brackets for the fewest possible number of light gaps.

✅ Fewer roller units
✅ Fewer motors
✅ Smaller light gaps
✅ Can be installed in as little as 30 seconds.

Evolve Fascia and Evolve Zero are only available from Umbra.

Every other solution is just compromise.

New, from Umbra.

The world's fastest blind, now with ultra-slim brackets.

Our famously fast Evolve Fascia comes with new slimmer brackets, pre-installed at the exact right width for the fastest installation possible.

The new ultra-slim brackets mean smaller light gaps from the previous Evolve Fascia.

Simply screw the fascia to the reveal, mount the blind and you're done.

Not only is it fast, being an Evolve product means it looks incredible and elevates the design of any interior space.

Is there a link between diabetes and blinds? 🤨

According to , excluding artificial light at night has a profound effect on the body.

Not just blue light from screens, but also from street lighting.

He gets it right by suggesting blackout curtains...

BUT... is there more to the circadian story when it comes to blackout blinds?

I certainly think so...
