Procurement FAQ
Questions before sampling.
What is the difference between an umbrella stand and umbrella rack?
A stand is usually a compact cylindrical holder. A rack is larger, often mobile, and holds umbrellas in defined slots for higher-capacity entrance use.
Where should umbrella stands be placed?
Place them near the entrance path where guests can see them, but outside accessible routes, luggage paths and door swing areas.
Should umbrella racks include drip trays?
Yes. Drip trays or catchment bases are important for protecting polished stone, tile and timber lobby floors.
Can umbrella storage match other lobby metal finishes?
Yes. Stainless, black, gold, wood-frame and mixed finish directions can be reviewed during quotation and sampling.
