Shade Sails; A stylish & cost effective way to protect your family
January 20th, 2016 · Published to Shade Sails
Australia has the highest rates of skin cancer all over the world, with Queensland being a particularly high-risk region. In fact, statistics from the Queensland Cancer Registry reveal that around 136,000 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed every year in Queensland alone. Individuals under the age of 35 are at the most risk of developing melanoma skin cancer, with 110 cases and 140 cases of melanoma being diagnosed every year in males and females respectively.
These statistics are indeed, alarming and Australians must do all they can to protect themselves from excessive exposure to the sun’s UV rays, which is the prime cause of melanoma. Therefore, it is very important to have adequate sun protection. The best way to stay protected is to apply sunscreen regularly and to use other sun safety measures, such as installing shade sails. Shade sails can offer great shade protection and if you care about the safety of your family, then installing shade sails would be a wise idea.
As a manufacturer of shade sails, I for one, know the various benefits that they offer and how they can protect you and your family. Continue reading on as I outline how shade sails are an affordable and simple solution for your home to protect your family and help them avoid getting skin cancer.
