In the Spotlight: Eqoshade® Eco-Protection Systems

We are so excited to present to you new pergolas from our product partner, Eqoshade® Eco-Protection Systems.

Eqoshade® aims to provide quality eco-protection solutions (shading systems) suited to client’s needs. But why install these protection systems?

Shading systems allow for a more comfortable outdoor lifestyle. Specially during the hot summer months, shade is important for clients to enjoy al fresco settings. Provided you choose a waterproof fabric, pergolas are also able to protect the same area when it is pouring.

Protection systems like awning and screens help control the movement of heat and sunlight in a building. In summer, they keep heat from entering and in winter, they help keep it in. These solutions reduce the need for air-conditioning and heating, thereby reducing electrical consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.



For you, this means energy cost savings.

In breezy areas, wind resistance is also important. We are pleased to let you know that this new line have a wind resistance of up to 100 km/hour, depending on model and specifications of the set-up.



This means, you are assured the pergolas will not jeopardize the safety of your venue.

Natural's Timelessness

An umbrella in Natural fabric is one of those products that neither location, nor season, nor trend, can affect when it comes to aesthetic suitability and versatility. It is easy to match with any other furniture and works with any theme. Just take a look at the projects below.

Zen Awnings at Crimson Resort & Spa, Cebu

One of our popular posts in 2011 was of Crimson Resort & Spa, Cebu, Philippines where we supplied our umbrellas. Find the post here.

We are honored to have been given the chance to supply our Zen Awnings in the same resort.

These awnings are made with Z-Net fabrics and are manually operated.

Buru: Operation & Care Information

DON’TS:

1 Do not linger under an umbrella in heavy weather conditions, to prevent accidents. Close the umbrella according to directions. The Buru series is designed so it can cope with a wind force of up to 5 Beaufort. Anything above this, please close and secure the umbrellas properly.

2 Do not bring in the proximity of halogen lighting or flames (such as candles, torches, etc), since this may cause fire.

3 Do not hang any objects on the umbrella ribs, because it might bring the umbrella out of balance, causing it to fall over.

4 Do not place the umbrella with a base on an uneven surface. If needed, please adjust the base height with the screws used for that purpose.

5 Never store any dirty umbrella covers since mold can grow on the accumulated dirt, which will eventually have a negative impact on the fabric’s performance.

How to Close an Umbrella:

1 Remember to remove all the gutters connecting the canopies first. Unzip them from the canopy covers.

2 Close a canopy by loosening the screw and sliding it down. Tighten the screw in the closed position.

3 Cover with the protection cover. Tie the protection cover.

How to Open an Umbrella:

1 Each umbrella canopy can be operated separately. Loosen the screw and slide the canopy up to open the parasol. Once fully open, tighten the screw.

2 Attach the rain gutters using the zippers once canopies are open. Note that you have to order the gutters separately.

How to Use the LED lights:

The integrated LED lights are not only functional but also give the outdoor space a nice ambiance. Once plugged, use the remote control to turn them on/off.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Hosing the umbrella covers every now and then is an easy and actually efficient way of removing most of the dirt.
•  A hard brush can be used for removing more persistent stains.
• You can also remove covers and put them in the washing machine. 

For a more detailed cleaning instruction, umbrella spare parts and replacement covers, please email info@suniture.com.

Introduction to Four Seasons Kuda Huraa, Maldives

Guests of Four Seasons Maldives are treated to a comfortable and relaxing lounge right outside the arrival area of the airport. Here, we provided the custom-made sofas and cushions.


The beach of Four Seasons Kuda Huraa is lined with sun loungers with our cushions on them. When approaching the wharf, at the left is a jetty port with our outdoor sofas.



We came right after a quick shower, hence, the sofas were still wet. Well, some parts were still wet but some were already dry. Our sofas have been here for a year. See how they have withstood the elements of nature? Awesome performance.



Our sofas are also used on the beach itself. This is a very nice setting, isn't it? For F&B managers, imagine the revenue one generates from this area where people can sit, lounge, eat, drink and socialize while enjoying the atmosphere.



The resort is a very particular resort that puts a high value on customer experience and comfort. Little surprises that will surely make an impression abound like this sand sculpture.


Every guest is important, adults and kids alike. The Kids Club is filled with our colorful beanbags.


Even inside the restaurants, you can find our cushions and pillows.We agree they are practical indoors as ours are stain resistant and washing machine safe!

The cushions and umbrella covers in this lovely pool area are ours.



Finally, Four Seasons has some environmental protection and preservation programs. Here is the Turtle Conservation area where we provided the sail shade.

We are proud to be a trusted supplier of Four Seasons Kuda Huraa, Maldives.We are happy to be of service!

Branding Ideas: Where to Put Your Brand for Maximum Exposure

On the umbrella covers and fixed canopies

On the flaps of retractable awnings (so even if they're closed, the brand is still visible)

On the valance of an indoor window dressing/decorative awning

On banners that line the pathways

It's A Match!

These are Ireland umbrellas made with two-tone canopy covers similar to the Maldives project. But instead of complementary colors, these canopies use a solid color on top and stripes underneath. Great idea, isn't it?

Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Resort, Hainan, China

Our Suniture China team went to visit Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Resort as part of after sales service. Suniture provided the umbrellas, sunlounger cushions, awning cover, and custom cushions in the pool and spa areas. It is a beautiful property. Here are some photos to enjoy.
