B&Q and Castorama unveil 2014 product innovations at first ever joint product show - October 2013

Smoke alarms that send a text to your mobile, dishwasher-proof barbecues, and sheds that can be constructed in around an hour. These are just some of the product innovations unveiled by B&Q and its French sister company at an international product show last week. The event, staged in Lille in Northern France, was jointly organised by B&Q UK & Ireland and Castorama France to showcase new home improvement ranges that will hit the stores in 2014.
