MultiValve – extraordinary canopies from SHADEmakers
Many of our parasols such as the Giglio, Sirio and Poker are available with our optional MultiValve canopy system. The layered design provides much improved wind resistance and heat dissipation. The canopies, in our opinion, make for some of the most attractive parasols around, open or even closed!
The layered structure allows wind to pass through the canopy, greatly reducing any ‘sail’ effect to the point that parasols with MultiValve canopies can be used in previously inappropriate locations such as super yachts (see our maritime parasol, the Girasole Evolution). The layered structure also allows for any warm air that forms under the canopy to escape thus creating better ventilation on those warm days.
MultiValve canopies are available either in Solution Dyed Acrylic or Soltis Air fabrics. Soltis Air is a fabric by Ferrari whose Micro air technology provides a breathable yet water proof membrane.
MultiValve canopies are available with the following parasols: Arcobaleno, Giglio, Girasole Iroko, Girasole Evolution, Girasole Lusso, Poker, Quadrifoglio and Sirio
Shademakers parasols at the Grove Hotel & Spa
Shademakers have recently installed a number of parasols at the Grove Hotel & Spa. The Grove is a luxury counrty house hotel located in Hertfordshire that offers 300-acres of park and woodlands, spa, world championship golf course and three restaurants.
Shademakers have installed a number of Luna and Sirio parasols. The large Sirios, in this case fitted with MultiValve canopies, offer large shaded areas for those relaxing after using the adjacent golf course. The MultiValve canopies are not only particularly striking but also allow wind to easily pass through them, greatly improving their stability on gusty days. The Lunas offer excellent compact shade to tables and alike and feature screen printed canopies.
