Umbrellas of premium quality are essential for extended service and although cost much more to manufacture and therefore to procure for your business - simply last longer and maintain their appearance of textile quality and colorfastness and importantly logo printing quality for long lasting branding that won’t deteriorate over time. And therefore, choosing quality over price or quantity should be foremost when making a buying decision to purchase custom logo Umbrellas for your organization.
When choosing the right premium Umbrellas to rep your brand, keep in mind that a higher quality Umbrella that looks good will be more likely to be utilized by your clients more often, and choosing an Umbrella of quality will cover your clients and their clothing ang accessories from inclement weather year around - including humidity and UV rays providing comfort and shade on humid and sunny days, and keeping clients dry on rain and wintry days.
Additionally, the Premium Umbrella frame design needs to be designed and built to last for durable everyday use in order to accomplish its primary function for an extended service and therefore live up to a products’ promise of better value for money. Quite simply, quality and durability refers to the product being able to turn inside out on windy days and be righted without damage remaining serviceable, as compared to cheap Umbrellas that simply break after the first wind gust or a few uses—some of us have been there.
What sets Premium, Premier and Luxury quality Umbrellas apart from regular umbrellas is the quality of materials and components used to make these umbrellas.
Higher quality parts and components used to manufacture premium, premier and luxury quality umbrellas are directly attributed to longer product serviceability.
Canopy: In conventional Umbrella design, there is an eight-panel textile canopy stretched over a frame that covers the user from the elements in any weather. Canopy textiles for premium, premier and luxury Umbrellas are made with higher density textiles that are treated with high-quality water repellent fabric coatings, ensuring that the product will be suitable for its intended use for a long time while retaining its’ colorfastness for a superior product and logo appearance and the best client experience.
Frame: The frame of an Umbrella consists of many parts including a central shaft, and with premium Umbrellas normally the sturdiest shaft material is FRP Fiberglass which is ultra-durable and resistant to bending and breaking, although often other premium quality shaft materials such as Wood and Aluminum are currently utilized for various design enhancements - in contrast to earlier Umbrella designs once made from cane or whalebone. All of these high-quality materials utilized in premium, premier and luxury Umbrellas are ultra-durable, won’t rust or oxidate. Aluminum shafts are used in premium telescopic umbrellas to enable lightweight with quick and easy folding, or collapsing and may have two or three sections designed to fit inside one another for compact stowage when the Umbrella closed.
Ribs: The structure and form of the canopy are provided by the umbrella ribs. The umbrella's canopy is supported by the ribs closest to the pole, while the ribs that continue past the canopy's edge keep the umbrella's panels in a downward-curving position. The umbrella's shaft is fitted with ribs using a top-notch. When the umbrella is opened or closed, a plastic or metal runner attached to the stretchers slides up and down the umbrella's shaft.
The material quality of the ribs of an Umbrella will often predicate how long an Umbrella frame with last without breaking and therefore dictates the product life of an Umbrella. Again, Fiberglass ribs and components deliver durability, won’t kink when bent like pressed steel ribs, and also won't rust or oxidate which could stain the textile canopy of an Umbrella.
Tips: These refer to the parts found at the end of the Umbrella ribs that are affixed to the canopy allowing the canopy to be attached to the frame of the Umbrella. Materials for tips are typically made of molded plastic, machined metal or wood and are sewn onto the canopy. The method for sewing the tips onto the canopy and in-turn sewing the canopy onto the Umbrella frame is much more labor intensive for premium, premier and luxury Umbrellas vs regular Umbrellas.
Runner: The component that slides up and down the umbrella's shaft to open and close the umbrella is known as the "umbrella runner." The quality of the runner materials will also predicate how long an Umbrella will remain serviceable.
Handle: The design of an Umbrella handle is the component of an Umbrella that often provides the first impression for an Umbrella buyer. Higher quality handle materials with various ergonomic, contoured and curved designs are utilized for premium, premier and luxury Umbrellas.
