The Vortex parasol was designed many years ago to be the best of the best in terms of a commercial umbrella with minimal management when used in almost any environment.
Manufactured entirely in the UK, this umbrella has only the highest quality stainless steel components and super tough fabric for the canopy in a wide range of over 40 standard colours.
The Vortex can be used nearly all year round in the harshest conditions and only needs to really be retracted when there is a storm warning and winds over 100km/h.
Imagine a large commercial umbrella which hardly ever needs closing and can be left open most of the year round? With the Vortex you don’t have to imagine, as it is a reality.
The Vortex umbrella is a masterpiece of engineering and manufactured entirely in the UK with the highest quality components and a fire resistant, waterproof PVC canopy from market leaders - Ferrari fabrics. Over 40 fabric colour options as standard and a marine grade 316 stainless steel framework combine to offer an umbrella capable of dealing with wind speeds over 100km/h.
Commercial specification sun and rain protection, with the added advantage of a very high wind rating making it perfect for the catering and restaurant trade where management of umbrellas is difficult with the weather changes.
With LED lights and heaters and the pole mounted table this is a perfect addition to any outdoor area in a bar, restaurant, cafe or club. Enhance your outdoor area with the added knowledge there is minimal management required for the product when the weather changes. The umbrella only really needs closing when there is a weather warning of very high winds. The closing is easy enough with a rope pulley system.
The Vortex parasol has an option of two canopies, the Ferrari 502 Satin PVC or Ferrari STAM 6002, these fabrics are the world’s leading materials for high tensile membrane structures.
