The Hurricane Extreme is the strongest of Loriini Umbrella’s parasols and is designed and manufactured in the UK. The canopy material is high performance PVC and the frame is supported using stainless steel rigging, which you would usually see holding up the mast of a yacht.
This remarkable parasol has engineers reports approving it’s use in winds up to 100km/h (62mph) when fixed to the ground.
The Hurricane Extreme was also tested in a wind tunnel up to hurricane speed winds of 126km/h or 78 mph. This test was carried out to prove the strength of the umbrella and to identify any potential weak points. This test was carried out in a controlled environment by shade experts with the umbrella bolted to the floor.
Designed for intense commercial usage, where management of umbrellas is difficult with rapid weather changes, this parasol makes a great addition to any outdoor area, from large restaurant or pub terraces to home gardens and patios.
After more than 10 years in the industry, we’ve learnt that quality and durability are just as important to our customers as they are to us. We’re proud of the fact that, with the Hurricane Extreme, we can offer a strong stainless steel parasol that is built to last a life time.
Loriini Umbrella is a certificate holder of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) scheme and we endeavour to source our bamboo through FSC®-certified forests. This ensures that our bamboo is well managed, and protects local communities and natural wildlife.
All the materials used in the production of our parasols are 100% recyclable. The oil finish we use has a low VOC and the bamboo is dipped rather than sprayed. The glues we use are European and are rated well within the EU (E1 standard). Recycled materials are used for packaging where possible. All this helps keep the impact of manufacturing on the environment to a minimum. At Loriini Umbrella, we understand our social responsibilities and require our international partners to adhere to highlevels of welfare, far exceeding local labour standards.
The process of producing Loriini Umbrella parasols starts with the careful selection of the bamboo. After years of research and rigorous testing, we found Moso bamboo to be the only species suitable for outdoor use. One of the characteristics of Moso bamboo, which sets it apart from over a thousand other species, is the size of the individual fibre strands. These strands are much smaller and more tightly condensed, making them similar to the structures in fine grained hardwood like teak. We found other bamboos that had larger strands and were not so tightly condensed were more like softwoods, as the fibres/ strands would peel individually.
