We know all the great benefits of window film. Increase privacy, reduce danger, keep your home cool, and energy efficient are all of the well-known advantages. But did you know window film is actually beneficial for your health?
It may be surprising; how does window film actually help my health? Well, it can be preventative for skin cancer.
Exposure to ultraviolet rays (UV) is the leading cause of skin cancer.
You may be thinking, I am indoors though how can that even be possible?
Just because you’re indoors, doesn’t mean you are protected from UV rays. Window film blocks out almost 100% of UV rays.
There are two types of UV rays; ultraviolet A rays and ultraviolet B rays. Normally the biggest concern is UVB rays because UVB is responsible for sunburn. However, research now shows that UVA rays are just as dangerous and can harm the basal layer of the skin.
The Skin Cancer Foundation endorses window film to help prevent potential skin cancer.
Don’t take the risk.
You may think you are protected indoors, but you are not. There are already so many benefits to window tinting. Especially If you are someone with sensitive skin or fair skin, look into adding window film to your office or home.
