Window film typically is thought of as a way to block glare and heat. While this is true, what you are really doing is blocking UV rays that cause these problems and more. It is one of the most potent means of sun control available for homeowners in Vegas today. A happy side effect of controlling the sun, besides block glare and reducing heat, is protecting your furnishings from harm caused by UV rays. Wood floors, carpets, upholstery, and artwork all tend to deteriorate when exposed to UV rays. Read below to understand fading and how UV blocking window film prevents it.
What Causes Furniture and Wood Floors To Fade?
Almost all “things” are vulnerable to deterioration from the sun and your expensive furniture is no exception. As it happens, there is very little you can do to keep the sun off of your belongings with methods besides window film. Curtains and blinds let some creep in through and around them.
