Does UV-Blocking film block out all sunlight?

Transparent window film with a fade-reducing function is a translucent film that filters out 99.9% of the harmful UV radiation while allowing in enough beneficial visible light. This means it stops fading without blocking all of the sunlight; instead, it blocks only those rays that are harmful to people and property. Depending on the transmissivity of the film, you can choose how much or little visible light enters your Sacramento area building. So you get to decide the level of light that’s best for you.

Does UV-blocking window film stop hardwood floors from fading?

The best option for preventing your flooring from fading or turning color is window film with UV-blocking properties, like many of our solar control films. Window film with UV-blocking capabilities, in particular, is one of the most successful strategies to keep your hardwood floors from changing hue. This cutting-edge technology significantly lowers hardwood fading over time. However, with enough time, your flooring will display natural signs of aging. But since very little UV radiation actually makes it through these films, there won’t be much fading over your lifetime.

Will UV Blocking window film darken my windows?

No, today’s UV-blocking window tints aren’t as dark or metallic in appearance as they used to be. They’re so translucent that you can barely tell they are there. Not only do they not dim windows, but many of our former customers have mentioned that they improve interior views while also giving their windows a more contemporary aesthetic appeal from the outside.

Does UV-Blocking window film really protect from cancer?

Yes, reducing your sun exposure has been found to lower the incidence of some cancers of the eyes and skin. Window film blocks almost all harmful UV radiation beaming through your windows that might harm your skin and eyes. It is likely one of the most effective ways to reduce sun-related illness risks such as cataracts and melanoma. In fact, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, UV-blocking window film is advised and has its seal of approval.
