Common Questions
UV Protection FAQ
Does window film really stop furniture from fading?
Yes—UV rays are responsible for about 40% of fading, and window film blocks 99% of UV. However, visible light (25%) and heat (25%) also contribute to fading, so for maximum protection, consider a solar control film that reduces all three factors. Even basic UV-blocking film significantly extends the life of furniture, floors, and artwork.
Can I get UV protection without darkening my windows?
Absolutely. Clear UV window films are virtually invisible yet still block 99% of harmful UV rays. 3M Prestige and LLumar's clear films maintain your natural view while providing full UV protection. These are ideal for rooms where you want maximum light but still need fade protection.
How does UV window film protect against skin cancer?
Standard glass blocks UVB rays but allows most UVA rays through—the rays that penetrate deeper and contribute to skin cancer. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends window film as protection for people who spend extended time near windows. Our films block 99% of both UVA and UVB rays.
Will window film protect my hardwood floors?
Yes, UV film is one of the best solutions for protecting hardwood floors from sun damage. Many customers come to us after noticing uneven fading where rugs or furniture blocked some sun but not all. Film protects the entire floor evenly and prevents future damage.
How long does UV protection window film last?
Quality UV window film lasts 15-25+ years with proper care. Our 3M and LLumar films include lifetime residential warranties covering peeling, bubbling, and discoloration. The UV protection doesn't diminish over time as long as the film remains intact.
Is window film better than UV-blocking curtains?
Window film has several advantages: it works even when open (unlike curtains), doesn't block your view, provides 24/7 protection, and doesn't trap heat inside like curtains can. Film also protects the entire window area uniformly, while curtains may leave gaps.
