For over 125 years, we have been providing high-quality shade with optimal UV protection. Glatz has always been one of the leading parasol manufacturers in Europe and around the world. No matter how challenging your shading project is, we will always find the right individual solution.

The most appropriate parasol model depends on the conditions of your patio. If space is limited, the cantilever parasol is the best choice, thanks to its flexibility. If your patio is in a wind-exposed area, you should select a centre-pole parasol because of its stable construction. We will gladly advise you individually on the best parasol for your patio.

First and foremost, the choice of parasol shape depends on your personal taste. However, if several parasols are to be placed next to each other on your patio, it is better to go for a rectangular parasol roof in order to achieve uninterrupted shade.

Of course, Glatz offers giant parasols for patios with spans of up to eight metres. Since every outdoor area is different, we offer you over 20,000 possible combinations to configure the parasol that perfectly meets your needs. Customised solutions are also possible.

There is plenty for you to choose from. You can choose from over 70 different colours. All Glatz fabrics are of the highest quality. These high-quality fabrics offer the maximum possible UV protection with a remarkably long fading period.

To allow you to spend more time on the patio after sunset, the FORTELLO® LED model, for example, features practical and dimmable LED lights. However, there is also the option of attaching variable LED spotlights – such as our Osyrion spot – to any parasol model.

All parasols are tested extensively in the wind tunnel and are designed for high wind stability. This is always subject to the use of a fixed anchor in the ground and a horizontally positioned parasol roof in order to withstand wind speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour.

We guarantee very high UV protection of over 98 per cent for all patio parasols. Glatz provides your skin with the best protection against dangerous UV rays.

Our parasol fabrics are designed for optimum weather protection and textile feel. Depending on the fabric quality of the canopy, a water column of > 350 mm is achieved. Sociable get-togethers can therefore continue under the patio parasol despite a short, light shower.

The parasol model and the conditions of your patio determine the right choice of fixation. In principle, a distinction is made between mobile and permanent fixation solutions. If the parasol is to be placed in a fixed location on the patio, we recommend a ground socket set in concrete. If you prefer more flexibility in the location of your patio parasol, a parasol base with castors is more appropriate. It is important that you use an original accessory for the fixation, as this is the only way to guarantee wind stability.

Depending on the model, you can open your parasol with a hand crank, tensioning lever, runner, pulley system or remote control via a motor drive.

Small stains can be removed easily with a soft brush. Never use aggressive detergents. In case of tougher stains, it is best to contact a specialist.
