Umbrellas
Glatz AG was created in 1895 and has been creating umbrellas for over 100 years. Located in Frauenfeld in Switzerland, Glatz offer a large range of umbrellas for the home and commercial use.
Umbrellas and Parasols are a necessity in Dubai and the UAE where the summer months can be scorchingly hot; proper shading is vital if you want to enjoy the outdoors. At The Warehouse, we offer three types of outdoor umbrellas for our customers. These consist of centre pole, hanging (cantilever) and giant. We are a distributor of Glatz AG stocking a range of their popular parasols.
Types of Umbrellas
Hanging umbrellas
Hanging umbrellas are very popular nowadays as they allow customers to shade an area without having a pole in the middle of a space. Available in our standard 300x300cm size with 120KG base as well as additional sizes by order. Optional added features include 360º rotation and tilting.
Centre pole umbrellas
Centre pole umbrellas are popular in poolside locations or in the centre of tables in gardens or restaurants. They are strong and more resistant to strong winds than cantilever umbrellas. Available in wood or aluminium versions. Sizes are 250cm to 400cm in diameter and 400x400cm.
Giant Umbrellas
Giant umbrellas are primarily used for large areas where there is need to have fewer umbrellas with minimal fuss. They are mainly used on larger garden terraces or in restaurants or hotels. They come in sizes ranging from 400x400cm up to 700cm in diameter.
Canopy Colours
They can be fitted with a range of different colours and canopy styles. We offer canopies in beige (standard) as well many other colours. See a selection below for our colour range. The canopy is made from solution dyed acrylic, which means the colour will last for longer compared to other cheaper fabric types. We can also offer beige polyester fabric. Canopy flounces can also be included which can include bespoke logo branding. You can view our Fabric range here
