A good score will be around 200 gr\/m\u00b2 or higher.

The main advantage of the halogen type is that the moment they are switched on, you can feel the heat, but it\u2019s recommended to be turned on only when the area is occupied. The main advantage of the infra-red heaters is that they heat the objects and people and not the air. This means that it saves a lot of energy and the wind can\u2019t blow the heat away.<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shadespecialists.co.uk\/parasol-heaters-and-parasol-lights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parasol lights<\/a>\u00a0\u2013<\/strong>\u00a0LED lights are a great option to have for your umbrella. They can be fixed to the frame or portable. The portable ones are usually water resistant and they offer plenty of light so you could finish that last chapter of your favourite book, prepare dinner or play a game of cards with your guests. Usually, they have rechargeable batteries meaning that the electricity consumption is reduced.<\/li><li><strong>Parasol speakers \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0either separated or integrated with the LED lighting kit, speakers will allow you to continue the party outdoors, or enjoy a great chill-out song while resting on the sunchair. The smaller versions have rechargeable battery, whilst bigger versions will have to be plugged in.<\/li><li><strong>Parasol protective cover \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0this accessory is maybe the most recommended to have, as it could extend the life of your parasol for many years to come. When your parasol is stored or it\u2019s not in use, a protective cover will stop direct sunlight, water and stains from bird drops, preventing the canopy from fading, tearing or the frame from scratches. Less expensive, but could save you money in time.<\/li><li><strong>Other parasol accessories \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0the accessories list does not end here. Depending on your needs, you can add rain gutters to connect 2 parasols, screens, insect curtains, or even a mist cooling system.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
