UV Protection Window Film
Why is it Important?

Sun Protection is a fact of life™

UV protection window film is a practical and convenient defense against skin cancer and other diseases caused by UV rays. With the depletion of the ozone layer, all beach lovers and sun worshipers out there should know what is in store for them if they do not take protective measures against UV rays outdoors and yes, indoors.

Sun Protection

UV protection window film is your sun protection after your UV filmed sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats and sunblock creams and lotions.

So if you thought that you need sun protection only outdoors, then it is time to learn that the sun’s relentless UV rays can seek you out indoors. Beat it by sheeting your windows with anti-UV film.

UV protection window film blocks out 95% to 99% of virulent UV rays that streams through your glass windows. Your breakfast nook or your children’s play may look picture pretty with that warm mid morning sunshine streaming through your glass windows.

But beware, those dancing sunbeams are just as lethal as the hot 3 o’clock afternoon sunshine in your garden.

Why the scare?

Isn’t the warmth of the sun’s rays therapeutic? It is, but with the depletion of the ozone layer that serves as a protective layer against the harsh UV rays, the earth is a direct target of more UV rays hitting the planet and so are you.

Do not even think you are safe outdoors at mid-day because it is cloudy because 80 percent of the sun’s UV rays can penetrate that mass of clouds up there.

Exposure to UV rays has been linked to skin cancer, malignant melanoma, ugly facial skin pigmentation, age-related macular degeneration, premature aging and acceleration of skin ulceration.

Now that you are aware that the sun’s UV rays can penetrate the glass windows of your home and your car, think of protecting yourself and your family against UV rays not only for the duration of the long hot summer but throughout the seasons.

Indoor Protection

Solar window film or 3m film are among the popular window films used on car windows to block out the harmful rays. Dark tinted film also diminishes glare thereby reducing the amount of heat indoors.

Your children can play and the elderly can safely do their regular activities in sunlit rooms without the glare and the threat of UV rays.

Eye Sensitivity

While driving your car daily to work you also expose your eyes to UV rays. If your eyes are sensitive to sunlight you triple your risk for macular degeneration, an age-related blindness that has become a growing concern in the US.

While driving, the sun’s heat bounces on your windshield and penetrates the glass taking along with the dreaded UV rays. If your windshield, side and back windows are covered with protective film, you don’t have to worry about UV rays, glare, and the safety of your eyes.

For UV protection window film , US states require a certain level of light transmittance for safe driving. Light transmittance below 75% is a traffic violation.

Hence, before you eagerly apply tints to your car’s windows and windshield know the rules in your locality. On the whole, with home and car protected, you are ready for the year-long UV rays attack.
