About the Parasols Collection collection by Gloster

The Parasols Collection parasols & sail sits within Gloster's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Gloster has held as one of Europe's oldest premium teak houses, with FSC chain-of-custody held continuously for over two decades. Manufactured at Henley-on-Thames, UK, United Kingdom, since Gloster was established in 1960. Parasols Collection is produced in Grade A FSC-certified Indonesian teak, powder-coated aluminum, and proprietary outdoor wovens as part of Gloster's premium British FSC teak outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Gloster's in-house design team.

Material and construction notes

Gloster's parasols & sail pieces are built around Grade A FSC-certified Indonesian teak, powder-coated aluminum, and proprietary outdoor wovens. For US trade specifiers, this means Parasols Collection carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Gloster catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.

Frequently asked specifier questions

What is the lead time for Parasols Collection?

Standard Parasols Collection configurations ship 6-10 weeks from European port to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.

Is the Gloster Parasols Collection collection covered by trade pricing?

Can Parasols Collection be specified with COM fabric or bespoke dimensions?

Most Gloster collections, including Parasols Collection, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.

Care, warranty, and US service life

Gloster FSC teak develops a silver patina within 12-18 months of US outdoor exposure. The patina is the natural protected state of the wood; no sealing is required. Annual cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap is the only maintenance routine. Powder-coated aluminum components carry a 10-year warranty; teak structural elements are warranted 10 years. Service life of Gloster teak in US installations is typically 30-50 years with annual cleaning. For projects that prefer to retain the original honey color, Gloster supplies a teak protector for application twice per season.
