High quality and first class workmanship.
Each Knirps umbrella is the result of over 90 years of experience in umbrella production. The development of a Knirps umbrella takes about two years from the idea to the finished product. Ongoing quality checks, including massive load tests in the wind tunnel, are carried out continuously.
To ensure that our umbrellas can be used in the worst weather conditions and are characterised by a long product life, they are subjected to various test procedures:
- Chemical tests (REACh, Öko-Tex, ...)
- UV tests according to UV Standard 801
- Various load, bending, tear and endurance tests
EXTENDED WARRANTY
The combination of this exact monitoring and the high quality materials such as top quality aluminium, which is also used in aerospace applications, selected steel and flexible fibreglass enables us to offer our customers a real quality product.
For this reason we offer an extended warranty of 5 years on all products of the T, TS and S series and 3 years warranty on our parasols.
EXCELLENT TECHNOLOGY
Knirps umbrellas are designed to be particularly smooth and user-friendly.
For example, special technology in the handle means that little force is needed to open and close the umbrella.
Knirps umbrellas in the wind tunnel
In order to give our quality control the finishing touches, all Knirps umbrellas are regularly subjected to heavy-duty tests in various wind tunnels. Wind speeds of up to 150 km/h are generated in the wind tunnel.
These extensive tests are carried out in order to check our umbrellas precisely for stability, ensure consistent quality and drive a continuous improvement process.
