Tanning on the beaches and the desire to tan has been part of the culture of the most nations in the world. But research analysts have revealed that tanning exposes you to the highest levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and has led to an epidemic of skin cancer. Public education campaigns about the dangers of UV radiation have resulted in a decline in tanning on the beaches. However, an increasing trend can be seen in people opting for sunrooms or solariums as an alternate zone to develop a tan.
Solariums and sunrooms have now become an integral part of homes. If not planned in the original architecture of the building, solariums can always be an added attraction to your house. Referred to as the ‘sunny corner’ of the house, solariums are an extension of the living room and can also be considered as the entertainment area for the family. Solariums are usually preferred in glass as they allow natural lighting and make you feel closer to nature. Besides that, it also helps in energy conservation as it saves on lights to be put on in dull weather conditions.
Solariums and Sunrooms serve the purpose of a conservatory and as a green house to cultivate your gardening hobby. Atriums and patio rooms with beautiful patio doors and bifold doors can also add to being a solarium for spending days closer to nature and nights gazing at the open starry skies. Solariums built of operable glass doors from NanaWall Systems, can be custom-made with straight or segmented curved glass walls without worrying about overheating or ventilation problems can also be used as an enclosure connecting your house to your garden.
Solariums have found their most admired client in those addicted to tanning in the sun. A survey has indicated a 600 per cent increase in the number of solariums in Melbourne in the past 10 years. This statistics is enough to establish the trend among people diverting their loyalty for solarium. And if industry experts are to be believed, tanning remains one of the primary obsessions. Moreover, persuasive marketing methods and publicity exposure attract increasing numbers of customers for sunroom services.
Although Solariums have been promoted as an alternative to tanning on the beach, solariums are not meant to give you UV protection from the sun. Therefore, it is highly advisable not to expose your skin for prolonged hours in the sun even in a solarium. So, keep the health consequences in mind and enjoy tanning in your customized Solarium.
