Smart Shading Systems for Urban Comfort

MDT-tex develops smart shading systems that merge engineering precision with architectural aesthetics. Designed for public spaces, smart cities, and hospitality venues, our umbrellas and shelters are built to withstand heavy outdoor use while improving comfort for visitors. With wind-resistant frames, efficient rainwater drainage, and long-lasting materials, each installation is tailored to meet the specific needs of architects and city planners.

From busy pedestrian plazas to rooftop terraces and cultural landmarks, MDT-tex solutions transform open-air environments into inviting, functional spaces. Our range includes cooling umbrellas, solar-powered shading solutions, and kinetic umbrella systems—all contributing to the development of sustainable outdoor infrastructure for modern urban life.

Cooling Umbrellas for Climate-Responsive Public Spaces

The Cooling Umbrella by MDT-tex is designed for hot urban climates where comfort is a challenge. Its innovative fabric reflects heat, while engineered airflow reduces the temperature beneath the canopy by creating a natural convection effect. Unlike fans or powered cooling systems, this solution uses no energy, making it eco-friendly and maintenance-efficient.

Installed in city plazas, pedestrian walkways, outdoor cafés, and resort terraces, Cooling Umbrellas are ideal for locations where high visitor comfort is essential. Architects and hospitality operators choose them because they combine passive climate control with a minimalist design that integrates seamlessly into existing architecture.

Solar-Powered Umbrellas for Sustainable Cities

The Solaru Umbrella is more than just sun protection—it’s a step toward sustainable city infrastructure. Equipped with discreet solar panels, it generates clean energy to power USB charging ports, LED lighting, or integrated smart sensors. This makes Solaru ideal for public parks, outdoor cafés, tech campuses, and event spaces, where visitors need both shade and connectivity.

By combining renewable energy and elegant design, Solaru supports climate-adaptive urban planning. City planners and hospitality groups value its dual function: comfortable shading for visitors and a visible commitment to green energy initiatives.

The Green Umbrella – Eco-Friendly Outdoor Shading

The Green Umbrella embodies MDT-tex’s focus on eco-conscious design. Made from durable and recyclable materials, it delivers reliable sun protection with a lower environmental impact. Its nature-inspired form and neutral color palettes blend harmoniously into urban parks, wellness resorts, and landscaped pedestrian zones.

Engineered for long-term outdoor use, the Green Umbrella features wind stability and effective rainwater drainage, making it a dependable choice for city planners looking to introduce more sustainable outdoor shading systems without compromising on aesthetics.

XXL Kinetic Umbrella – Landmark-Scale Dynamic Shade

The XXL Kinematic Umbrella is an architectural statement as much as it is a functional shading solution. Spanning up to 14 meters in diameter, it uses a motorized kinematic opening system that turns shade into a visual spectacle. Its robust frame, tested for high wind stability, makes it suitable for airports, cultural venues, city squares, and trade fair pavilions.

This is the only large-scale kinetic umbrella system available on the market, making it a preferred choice for projects where iconic design and practical functionality must coexist. Architects appreciate its customizable geometry, membrane tension options, and optional integration with lighting or smart sensors.

Smart Urban Shelter for Public Infrastructure

The Smart Urban Shelter by MDT-tex is designed for cities that demand modular, technology-ready outdoor infrastructure. Its sleek, architectural design fits transit hubs, pedestrian walkways, and public waiting areas, providing weather protection while maintaining a modern aesthetic.

With options for integrated lighting, solar panels, and sensor-based systems, the Smart Urban Shelter can be adapted to the needs of smart cities and high-traffic urban areas. Built for durability and long-term use, it ensures that public infrastructure remains functional, comfortable, and visually aligned with contemporary urban design standards.
