As far as one can remember, patio umbrellas have been used to provide protection against the suns' harmful UV rays. Outdoor umbrellas
have been a status symbol dating back to the Emperor of China. The
Emperor's parasol had a total of four tiers! There are records showing
parasols that had a total of nine tiers. No wonder why dual wind vents
are so popular today. Each tier was created with elaborate tassels
showing off the wealth of the user creating a status that could not be
surpassed. Greek women used parasols during festivals.
The women would hold the patio umbrella over them in their honor. Eventually they would forever be connected as a lady's fashion symbol. The craze spread to Europe and were a big influence of the church. Tracing back to the twelfth century, Pope Alexander the pope, granted the right to have an umbrella be carried over the Doge of Venice. The infamous English weather ensured the patio umbrellas success. Between 1685 - 1705. During this period the use of umbrellas in coffee houses became extremely popular to shelter their appreciated customers.
In 1830, the first umbrella shop was opened in London, England. This historical shop is still operational and still goes by the same name of "James Smith and Sons". An African-American inventor patented what we now know as patio umbrella bases. In 1885, an inventor named William Carter patented the umbrella stand giving birth to the modern collaboration we know today. Every civilization has had a need for outdoor shading.
In today's society, shade units are very popular for both residential users and commercial applications. Protection from the suns' UV rays is vital for decreasing the risk and potential of skin cancer. Sunbrella patio umbrellas are the best choice for protection. This remarkable fabric is a solution dyed acrylic and comes with a 5 year warranty against fading. Blocking out about 98% of the harmful UV rays, sunbrella fabric is the ultimate choice when choosing fabric for your new patio umbrella.
