Can you get a tan while in the Solarium?

[fstuff1]

Saw someone putting on sun tan lotion there.

 

The Solarium (next to spa cafe) is like the pool deck.

It has a pool but is completely enclosed by glass.

 

I would have thought the Solarium glass would filter out the harmful rays which causes you to get a tan?

You should be fine in the Solarium. It could be that person was alternating between the pool deck and Solarium.

I've yet to see anyone get a tan when in a room enclosed by tinted glass. The person you saw was likely applying or reapplying before eventually venturing outside.

It is always possible but unlikely if someone were very sensitive to light.   UV light does go through glass even filtered but only about 150-15% ov the UVB rays penetrate the glass.  

 

My daughter had a bone marrow transplant and while in isolation the nurse saw her sitting in the sun and insisted she put SPF 30 on.   A sunburn to a transplant patient can cause rejection so they were very protective. 

 

I also remember Pilots saying they get tan through the cockpit window.

Since they recommend that you apply sunscreen several minutes ahead of sun exposure, perhaps the person you saw was preparing to go outside later
