Healthier home lifestyles have become more trendy on social media, with easy and fast exercises and meal prep hacks trending on TikTok. This trend has resulted in more education about our bodies and how our choices affect them. With the desire to transition to a healthier lifestyle comes many changes, but most wouldn’t think of changing aspects of their home.
Window film is a great way to add a layer of protection to your home from harmful UV rays. The sun is a unique and life-giving aspect of our universe, but it can also be very damaging when we are overexposed. We know to lather on sunscreen when we are outside, but we don’t typically think about UV damage inside our own homes.
This is where window film can come into play! It can block harmful UV rays that cause premature skin aging and increase the risk of skin cancer. These films can also assist in regulating interior temperature without affecting your view of the outside world. The Skin Cancer Foundation even recommends window films. This is what they had to say in a recent article:
“While it’s understood that taking sun safety precautions is important outside, few people realize they can sustain sun damage indoors. While both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun can harm the skin and lead to skin cancers, UVB is effectively blocked by glass. However, at least 50 percent of UVA rays can pass through windows. Window film is an increasingly effective solution, offering substantial indoor protection by blocking up to 99.9 percent of UVA radiation. Although they are less intense than UVB, UVA rays are 30 to 50 times more prevalent and are present with relatively equal intensity during all daylight hours throughout the year. Window film can help prevent harmful UVA rays from damaging your skin.”
