The number one reason consumers choose window
film is to protect their valuable furniture, draperies and
flooring from fading. With this in mind, you should know
a few things.
Most people associate fading with ultraviolet.
It is easy to understand why you might assume that a window
film product with 98% or 99% ultraviolet rejection rate
could eliminate fading in your home. However, since other
factors contribute to fading, more information needs to
be presented.
 It
is very important to understand that ultraviolet contributes
only 40% to the fading problem. Visible light contributes
25% and solar energy (heat) contributes another 25%, resulting
in a full 50% contribution to the problem. The remaining
10% of what causes fading is directly tied to the quality
or lack of quality of the dyes used in furnishings, fabric
and carpet. Knowing this makes it easy to see why stopping
only ultraviolet will not eliminate fading.
No solar window film product is guaranteed
to stop or cure a fading problem. However, professional
quality window film can significantly reduce fading caused
by ultraviolet, visible light and solar energy. The degree
of protection you obtain is closely tied to the type of
film you select.
