UV Window Film

Overlooked The Damage Caused By Harmful UV Rays.

What Is & Why To Install UV Window Film

While everyone wants to enjoy the flow of natural sunlight and its benefits into our homes, it’s essential to shield ourselves and our belongings from the damaging effects of UV rays. The sun’s ultraviolet radiation can be strong, and even when we’re indoors behind glass, prolonged exposure can lead to sun damage to your furnishings and belongings. Whilst your standard glazing acts as a sunscreen, offering protection, it is important to note how this is limited and fails to eliminate the risk. Moreover, UV rays significantly threaten your furnishings, causing fading and deterioration of carpets, upholstery, and other materials over time.
This highlights the importance of additional protection, where UV window film comes in. By installing UV window film, you can effectively block harmful rays and prevent their entry through your windows. The film acts as a protective shield, reducing the transmission of UV radiation and providing added defence to your property for you and your valued possessions.

All UV film is clear and transparent.

How Does UV Film Work?

When standard glazing is untreated, the intensity of the sun’s rays when penetrating the glass is much greater. This results in 40% of UV rays entering your property with 25% of heat, 25% of light and 10% of other factors penetrating your home, meaning there is 100% total exposure to the sun and its harmful features. However, upon installing UV window film, over 99% of all harmful UV rays, 79% of heat and 5-95% of light is blocked, encouraging the preservation of your furnishings and prioritising your well-being.

How Will You Benefit From UV Film?

UV window film offers a range of benefits that enhance your property’s protection and overall comfort.

By reducing the heat entering your property, you can minimise reliance on air conditioning systems or fans, leading to potential energy and cost savings. In colder months, the benefits of UV film are that it retains up to 33% of heat, keeping your property warmer and reducing heat loss through windows.
