Fading is one of the unfortunate consequences of UV light exposure. It’s a common misconception that UV rays are only a problem when we’re outside, but the truth is that there’s just as much of a risk indoors. If exposed to UV light for too long, colors may fade and lose their beautiful, vibrant aesthetic. By installing UV blocking window film, DC homeowners can get the sun protection they need to prevent fading.

 

Have You Noticed Fading in Your Home? Window Film Can Help!

Most of the time, homeowners don’t realize they need fade protection until it’s too late. One day, they’re vacuuming or moving furniture around, and they notice a serious line on their flooring caused by fading. Customers come to us with this problem all the time.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to reverse fading after it happens. The best solution is prevention. That’s where installing UV blocking window film for your DC home can help.

UV blocking window films are designed to be “spectrally selective.” This means they selectively block certain frequencies of light that you don’t want in your home like UV rays. Visible light (the light you see with your eyes) still gets through, but other types of light do not.

Window Film Vs. Curtains

You may be wondering, why can’t I just install some curtains instead? Sure, curtains will help block out some UV light. But you’ll have to keep them closed all the time for this to work. So you can say goodbye to all that beautiful natural sunlight.

UV blocking window tint, on the other hand, provides 24/7 sun protection. And it will prevent fading without making your home feel like a dark, enclosed box.
