VorTex The latest parasol in our range and the strongest ! Designed and manufactured in England Tested to WIND FORCE 11 With the 4.2m square model now wind tested to 100Kmh, this is going to be able to stay up and open far longer than any other parasol or awning on the market. Stainless steel frame combined with fire retardant Ferrari PVC fabric and designed to enable easy and low cost fitting of electrical IR heaters and lights. This has to be the ultimate smoking ban solution.

Details

The new VorTex is a venture into an area few other manufacturers dare to go - high tensile, high strength parasols.

Available ex stock in 2.8m Square and 4.2m Square sizes, complete with white Ferrari PVC fabric. Other colours available to order.

Frame structure manufactured from 304 stainless steel the VorTex is designed to be left up and open all year round (well, except possibly the one or two times in the year when we get the very extreme weather!)

The VorTex is fitted with market leading Ferrari PVC fabric which provides the added benefit of being fire retardant.

The VorTex can be easily opened and closed.

Installation options

In Ground Base

For permanent fixing of the VorTex parasols. provides the best stability for the product. Electrical cables should be run through the ground throught the ground base, completely hiding them.

Deck Mount

Flat steel plate to be bolted to an existing solid surface. This provides a permanent fix in situations where it is not possible to install a ground base.

Mobile base

Large steel base with extra weights. This allows a non permanent fix and although very heavy this instalation does allow the parasol to be moved.

Existing ground bases

It is possible to install VorTex parasols into existing parasol bases from a number of manufacturers. Any ground base designed to accept a pole diameter of 76mm and more can be catered fro. We can modify the parasol here to allow installation to existing ground bases. Please note that any warranty does not cover damage caused by failure of teh existing ground base or bolts.

Heating, lighting and electrical options

Electrics can also be added by a qualified electrician. We have designed the product with this in mind and it is easy to have electric IR heaters and / or lights fitted to the VorTex. This is be best done prior to installation to ensure that the cables can be hidden correctly.

Heating - We offer high grade Solamagic and Burda heaters. For fully integrated heating we offer a heater hub to allow the connection of up to 4 heaters.

Heaters can also be retro fitted to parasols that have already been installed, using our retro fitted heaters with either 2 or 4 heaters.

Lighting - Is pole mounted, using a light ring with 4 adjustable spot lights. These are supplied as standard with 50W standard bulbs but we are also able to offer an upgrade to coloured LED bulbs.

Control and switching - We have available wireless remote switching units, to be able to independently control the heaters and the lights.

This technology can provide users a number of benefits over conventional switching options.

Wireless switches can be placed anywhere, even behind a bar, with no disruption to trade whilst the electrician chases in cables.

Other options - as there is no winder mechanism taking up space inside the pole, the potential options for other entertainment systems are almost limitless. Theoretically it is possible to add speaker cable within the parasol and speakers high up inside the canopy. Outdoor LCD screens could be added and mounted to the pole. With careful shielding of any electrical and aerial cables it would be possible to have a TV feed piped directly to a couple of LCD screens mounted onto the centre of the pole - what better outdoor entertainment system?

Should you require any additional information then please don't hesitate to contact us. we have a wealth of ideas to help create the perfect solution for your business.

Printing

VorTex parasols can be screen printed prior to production or have vinyl's attached once the parasol is installed.
