Protection from the Sun - UV Window Film

Sunlight can cause significant damage to fabrics, furnishings, and even skin, but UV window film helps protect against the sun’s harmful effects.

 

Up to 90% of all fading is caused by solar energy. Of this, approximately 40% is attributed to ultraviolet (UV) light, 25% to visible light, and a further 25% to solar heat.

 

UV window film can slow this fading process by up to 50%, effectively doubling the lifespan of fabrics and furnishings.

 

The impact of UV exposure on people is equally concerning. According to Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals in London, around 15% of the population suffers from light-sensitive conditions, and more than 90% of all skin cancers are caused by sun exposure. Many people are unaware that they are still exposed to the sun’s harmful rays while indoors at home or at work. UV window film provides an important additional layer of protection, helping to reduce the risks associated with UV exposure, including premature skin ageing and the development of skin cancer.

 

Specialist UV Window Film

Specialist UV control window film exceeds standard museum test requirements for low UV transmission and minimal colour distortion. It meets the stringent standards set by leading conservation experts who have conducted extensive research into ultraviolet filtration.

 

This specialist UV control film is particularly beneficial for individuals with UV-sensitive skin conditions and can be applied to windows in workplaces, homes, and vehicles to provide enhanced protection and comfort.
