If you’re a homeowner with children, you’re probably wondering how you can keep them safe and protected against the sun during the summer months. Although we’re in the midst of winter, it’s never too late to begin planning for the summer!
Here at Lidgard Shades, we have the solution for you:
Shade sails!
Shade sails, or sun shades, are an excellent way to create shaded areas for your home—and here are 3 factors to consider for choosing the perfect sun shade for your children:
Make sure that the sun shade material is of high-quality—ideally, it should be able to block out UV rays, be fire-resistant, waterproof, and last for years to come. At Lidgard Shades, our outdoor shades are made with the highest quality fabrics, using lightweight and pre-tensioned PVC materials. This ensures that your children are effectively protected against harmful UV rays, also reducing the likelihood of sunburn, overheating, and more.
While we expect hot and humid weather during the summer, windy conditions are still possible. As a result, your sun shades should be able to withstand wind forces. With our shade systems, there’s no need to worry—our sun shades can withstand various wind speeds, including up to Gale force (62-74 km/h). This means that the shade sail will remain stable, reducing the risk of it falling off or being blown away while children are playing underneath.
It’s a good idea to check whether the sun shades come with a warranty. This ensures that you not only receive an exceptional product, but you’re also guaranteed financial protection should you find a fault or defect with the product within the warranty period. Lidgard Shades offers a 5 year warranty on workmanship and a 10 year warranty on materials! By having a warranty, you receive peace of mind that your new sun shades will be replaced/repaired, allowing your children to enjoy them without having to spend more money.
At Lidgard Shades, we supply a wide variety of shade sails across Auckland, including outdoor shades for Kiwi homes. Shade sails are a great way to enhance style and protect your children against UV rays and excessive heat when outside.
