Our most popular kind of shades are bleacher shades. They are cheaper than wood and metal covers and work far more effectively. They are made of a fabric called Sun-Tec® that blocks 95 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet light.
One advantage these outdoor shade covers have over umbrellas is their ability to cool temperatures beneath their surface. The netted design of the fabric passes hot air up through the top and keeps the air under the canopy a consistent 20 degrees cooler than surrounding temperatures.
Metal and wood will actually trap heat under the top and send it straight back down to the people on the ground.
An even greater cost benefit offered by these large fabric shades is the protection of plastic, paint, and powder coat finishes, which enjoy the UV-free open air as much as people do.
A good number of organizations, however, do not need all this and want something smaller and more aesthetic than a large outdoor shade cover. Umbrellas are perfect for these places.
Coffee shops, cafes, and small bars just love our umbrellas because they can be installed and instantly begin to compliment the architecture and landscape of practically any establishment.
Pools love them especially for their ability to create controlled exposure to sun. Since people want to tan, they want to move in and out of the shade at their convenience, and umbrellas let them do this.
Similar to outdoor shade covers, the most popular umbrellas are fabric. This fabric high-grade material and made especially for commercial applications in wind, rain, sleet, or snow.
The fabric also resists mildew and mold buildup, so it is ideal for hot humid climates like the American South. Of course, to work effectively, the fabric is also designed with UV inhibitors that block UV light and prevent degradation of material and color.
For organizations who only want a simple, decorative umbrella, and that do not need an outdoor shade cover, we sell vinyl umbrellas. Vinyl is an attractive alternative to commercial grade fabric, and although it is not quite as tough, it has a degree of wind resistance because of a wind vent at the top.
Fiberglass umbrellas are made for super wind resistant conditions and are usually sold to very windy regions of the country such as any coastal areas where gale force winds can come in from out of nowhere. They are huge in diameter, frequently being between 7 to 8 feet across, and they offer a tremendous degree of UV protection too.
