FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean? UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of UV rays, offering one of the highest levels of sun protection available.
Is a UV umbrella the same as a parasol? Yes—UV umbrellas are often referred to as parasols or sun umbrellas, especially when used primarily for sun protection.
Can I use a UV umbrella in the rain? Absolutely. Tumella UV umbrellas are fully functional rain umbrellas, so you can use them in all weather conditions.
Do all Tumella umbrellas have UV protection? No—only our design umbrellas include a UPF coating. Our regular umbrellas also provide some level of sun protection, but without the specialized UV coating, the protection is lower.
Is a UV umbrella better than sunscreen? They work differently. A UV protection umbrella provides physical shade, while sunscreen protects your skin directly. Many people choose to use both for added protection.
