On our islands, a parasol is not chosen on its canopy. It is chosen on its wind-resistance class, on its ballast and on the availability of its spare parts. The rest is decoration.
Glatz — parasols on a hotel terrace
The house
Glatz has been making parasols since 1895, in Frauenfeld, Switzerland. It is the European leader in the sector, with more than a hundred and twenty-five years of experience and distribution across the continent.
That age has a very concrete consequence for us: the technical documentation exists, the wind-resistance classes are published, and spare parts stay available for years. On a restaurant terrace, that is what counts.
The ranges
From the table parasol to the large cantilever, the logic stays the same: a documented structure, replaceable canopies and available parts.

The classic parasol, pole in the middle. The most stable and the cheapest to ballast — so the first reflex on an exposed restaurant terrace.

The mast steps out of the used area and completely frees the space under the canopy. Superb beside a pool, and demanding in ballast.

The models meant to cover a whole zone: restaurant terrace, beach bar, hotel solarium. That is where the wind class becomes non-negotiable.

Replacement canopies, ballasted bases, covers and ground fixings. It is half the real budget of a parasol fleet, and the half people forget to quote.
Every installation
Why this brand here
A badly chosen parasol does not wear out: it breaks, all at once, on a squally afternoon. This is what we check before quoting.

The most stable and the simplest to ballast. The base of a restaurant terrace under the trade winds.
To order from the factory
Frees the space under the canopy. Magnificent beside a pool — provided you accept the ballast that comes with it.
To order from the factory
Covers a whole zone. The wind-resistance class becomes the first criterion, without discussion.
To order from the factory
The canopy wears out before the frame. Replacing it alone doubles the life of the investment.

Ordering and delivery
Two subjects nobody raises at the point of sale, and they decide everything: how much the base weighs, and what happens to the parasol when a system approaches.
