In a country bathed in sun practically year round, even in Portugal we sometimes need to escape to the shade. Glatz knows how good that encounter with a cool, fresh spot feels in the middle of a hot summer day with an ice-cold beverage, a good book or a moment to unwind, a moment to simply chill.

Look up, it’s probably a Glatz parasol keeping you and yours cool and comfortable.
Elegant. Steady. Timeless.

The bigger the parasol the more shade right? Sure, but a large parasol is not always the right solution. Choosing the ideal Glatz parasol means assessing the space comprehensively: dimensions, surface area, layout, spatial organization and conditions, existing furniture, usage and frequency of use.

Shade
Protection and safety are key when it comes to Glatz parasols, which means a great shading solution should always take into account: where the sun rises and sets, how many hours of daily sunlight the space receives, habitual weather conditions and influences, what areas require more and less shade, UV ray and wind protection, set up, handling and maintenance. A parasol is so much more than a parasol.
