Case Studies
Providing shelter for health workers and patients with Commercial Awnings.
Providing shelter in healthcare settings is not only important for patients and visitors to have a space to be protected from the elements it gives healthcare workers a place outdoors to be able to socialise under shelter. The correct canopy, awning umbrella or parasol can ensure people receive a warm welcome and provide a stylish place to spend their time.
At Samson Commercial Awnings we provide bespoke structures to suit any commercial setting including important healthcare outdoor areas with much needed protection from the British weather.
Poole Hospital in Dorset have recently upgraded their outdoor area with Vortex Parasols from Global Parasols. Poole Hospital have really bought life to their outdoor seating area which will be much loved by patients, visitors, and staff. British summers are becoming hotter for longer and parasols can provide important protection and block up to 98% of UV rays. Providing shelter within outdoor spaces creates weather protected quiet zones to help facilitate patient recovery.
The Vortex Umbrella is a venture into an area where few manufacturers dare to tread. It is designed to be left up and open all year round due to its careful blend of materials and engineering. It is easily maintained, thanks to its long lasting and tear resistant material, waterproof with high UV resistance and a framework made of high-quality stainless steel. There would only be a few days in the year when you would consider closing the umbrella, or of course out of season in a commercial environment. Most umbrellas are not managed by establishments and are sometimes left to get damaged in high winds.
Commercial sun and rain protection with the added advantage of a very high wind rating make the Vortex Parasol perfect for healthcare settings, where management of umbrellas is difficult with rapid weather changes. All too often medium specification umbrellas are used and left open in bad weather, particularly if a storm or high winds come in quickly, and then the umbrella is ripped and broken very quickly and rendered useless. The Vortex will not be a problem in almost all-weather conditions and will only need taking down if there is a serious weather warning.
