Commercial Umbrella Repairs
Hospitality businesses require commercial umbrellas to ensure that guests are shaded, protected, and impressed by the aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces. Commonly found in the exterior areas of restaurants, cafes, hotels, resorts, and event venues, commercial umbrellas create comfortable environments for customers and guests. Just as with any equipment or other property that is used regularly, commercial umbrellas will become worn and in need of repair over time. American Holtzkraft, in addition to crafting incredible commercial umbrellas and other site furnishings, offers commercial umbrella repairs and refurbishing services to ensure their longevity, functionality, and safety.
Common Repairs of Commercial Umbrellas
The repairs needed for commercial umbrellas stem from weather exposure, improper handling, and frequent use. Invest in high-quality American Holtzkraft to avoid and delay repair needs.
The most common damage that requires repair includes:
- Fabric damage – Commercial umbrellas’ canopies are consistently exposed to sun, wind, rain, chemicals, salt, and more. The UV rays from the sun lead to fading and fabric weakening while precipitation and winds cause tears and frays. Even mold and mildew are possible in humid environments. While American Holtzkraft uses textiles that help prevent all these issues, time will inevitably take its toll, and when it does, we also offer repair services that include replacing the canopy with high-quality fabric that prevents fading, staining, tearing, and more.
- Rib Damage – A commercial umbrella’s ribs are the structural framework that supports the canopy. Strong winds and inappropriate handling can break or bend these features, but American Holtzkraft can replace them with the strong materials that we use when building them ourselves.
- Opening and Closing System Damage – Most opening and closing systems for commercial umbrellas work via cranks and pulleys. These mechanisms can wear out or break, as can the automatic systems we install. Fortunately, we offer repair and replacement to return the pieces to operational condition.
- Pole Repair – Umbrellas need poles for support, and over time, they can weaken, dent, crack, or rust. Allow our repair team to replace your vulnerable pole.
- Base or Stand Repair – An unstable base for a commercial umbrella is dangerous. Whether the base is cracked, connectors are damaged, or the anchor has failed, allow our team to promote its success.
Preventatively, every hospitality business should prioritize maintenance of site furnishings, including commercial umbrellas. During extreme weather, close them, clean your units regularly, and store them when not in use. Buy commercial umbrellas and other site furnishings from American Holtzkraft to further reduce the frequency of repairs.
Address issues promptly to reduce the scope of repairs, and count on American Holtzkraft to return your pieces to like-new condition for an entire new life of use at your hospitality endeavor.
