Greater comfort for shared moments
Cities are increasingly affected by so-called “heat islands”: dense urban structures, lack of greenery and traffic cause urban areas to heat up by up to 10 degrees more than their surrounding regions.
When designing urban spaces, town planners seek innovative solutions that provide temporary cooling in public spaces while also creating a harmonious urban landscape that complements the surrounding hospitality venues. Glatz offers flexible solutions and holistic concepts for this purpose – parasols that not only provide shade and cooling, but also shape the urban environment and add a distinctive, stylish character.
No excavation work, no foundations, but 100% stability and flexibility. The new Concrete Cube offers a stylish and practical solution for urban spaces:
- Multifunctional and relocatable fixation solution
- Seat made of spruce, colourless pressure-impregnated
- 1,100 kg total weight replaces the mechanical anchoring in the ground and
guarantees the wind stability specified by Glatz for all parasol sizes up to Ø
600 / 550 × 550 cm
Public spaces, pedestrian zones, school playgrounds and other heavily used urban spaces need solutions that quickly provide shade and enhance the quality of time spent outdoors. Parasols offer flexible shading without extensive construction work and create pleasant places to retreat to in the urban environment.
Glatz develops sun protection solutions that can be specifically tailored to the requirements of cities, municipalities and landscape architects. In addition to protection from the sun, the focus is on high wind stability, easy operation and harmonious integration into the existing architecture.
Whether a modern city square, a historic old town or a public meeting place: the parasols can be adapted to their surroundings in many different ways. Various sizes and shapes, more than 70 fabric designs and frame colours in a range of RAL shades allow for a design that blends harmoniously into the cityscape or deliberately sets accents.
Stability also plays an important role at exposed locations. Glatz large parasols are tested in a wind tunnel and, depending on the model and version, are designed to withstand high wind speeds. This makes them ideal for public spaces where reliable sun protection is required over long periods.
Not every public square is meant to be permanently redesigned. Mobile shading solutions therefore offer advantages, especially for seasonal or changing uses. City squares, weekly markets, play areas or event spaces can be shaded precisely where needed and later used differently. This creates shade wherever it is required – combined with a high degree of design freedom and without major interventions in the existing urban space.
Glatz parasols are built to withstand the demands of everyday life. Manufactured from premium, corrosion-resistant materials and wind-tunnel tested for stability up to 120 km/h, they remain stable and reliable even in strong winds.
Every second counts, efficient and safe workflows are essential. Our parasols are quick and easy to operate, giving you more time for what truly matters. Our patented opening systems allow rapid opening and closing with just a few turns of the crank or using the tensioning lever.
Round or square, understated or colourful – with over 70 fabric designs, various frame colours and a uniquely wide range of sizes, you will find the parasol that perfectly complements your architecture and environment. Every detail counts. The innovative LED lighting and the wide range of secure fixation solutions impresses with both safety and aesthetics.
More shade means more tables and more guests. If your outdoor area requires custom-made solutions for optimal shading, Glatz designs and manufactures special formats from its large parasol range that fit with absolute precision. Glatz is the partner that makes the seemingly impossible possible.

space together. We are happy to advise you personally – customised,
