In regions where the sun has a heavy presence, installing window film can protect your home and other valuable properties. Residential window tinting is well known for dramatically cutting down on fading and sun damage that occurs. While that is a fantastic benefit to your property and furnishings, it completely overlooks what else it can protect: you!
When we go outside, especially in the summer, we are cautious about making sure we are protecting ourselves from sun damage. This includes sun hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. All of these protect our hair, eyes, and skin from the damage of UV rays.
We make these efforts to protect ourselves outside, but we don’t realize that inside isn’t much safer. We are still exposed to harmful UV rays when inside our homes. But what exactly are UV rays, and why are they so harmful?
Ultraviolet rays (UV) are electromagnetic radiation always present in sunlight. 80% of these rays can penetrate clouds, windows, and more. These rays cause sunburn, fading, melanoma, and even skin cancer. UV light can also cause damage to the eye, break down Vitamin A in the skin, and destroy collagen.
Unfortunately, standard windows in homes or businesses do not adequately protect us from UV ray exposure. Experts agree that we should try to protect ourselves from UV damage even when inside our homes. But that doesn’t mean we have to wear sunscreen or sunglasses inside. There is an affordable solution to make your home safer for you and your family.
Residential window tinting offers 99% protection from UV radiation. Not only does it protect us physically, but it also helps us financially by significantly shaving down energy bill costs. Blocking these rays reduces the heat coming into your home and takes the load off your AC unit, trying to keep your environment comfortable.
