Advanced Film Solutions is proud to offer a diverse portfolio of window film solutions, including top-of-the-line products from 3M Prestige and Eastman Performance Films.
While the energy savings and heat rejection of these films are well-known, one of their most significant and often overlooked benefits is their ability to provide an invisible shield against damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. Here’s why having Advanced Film Solutions stop the UV makes a great investment for your home.
The Hidden Danger of UV Rays
We all know that the sun’s UV rays are harmful to our skin, but many people don’t realize the extent of the damage they can do to our homes.
The sun’s rays stream through our windows, and while a significant amount of the most damaging UVB rays are blocked by standard glass, a substantial amount of UVA rays still get through. These rays are a major culprit behind the fading and deterioration of our cherished belongings.
Protecting Your Investments
Your home is a collection of valuable investments, and UV rays are constantly working to devalue them.
- Furnishings: The vibrant colors of your sofa, the rich tones of your armchair, and the patterns on your curtains are all susceptible to fading from UV exposure. Over time, this can leave your furniture looking tired and worn.
- Wood Floors: The beautiful finish on your hardwood floors can be bleached and discolored by the sun, leading to uneven tones and a compromised appearance.
- Artwork and Photographs: Priceless family photos, original paintings, and other art can be irreparably damaged by UV rays, which break down pigments and cause paper to become brittle and yellow.
By installing Advanced Film Solutions‘ window films, you’re creating a powerful barrier that blocks up to 99.9% of UV rays. This virtually eliminates the primary cause of fading, preserving the beauty and value of your home’s interior for years to come.
A Smart and Cost-Effective Retrofit
Window film is one of the most cost-effective home retrofits you can make. Compared to the expense and disruption of replacing all your windows, applying high-performance window film is a quick and non-intrusive solution. The film is applied directly to your existing glass, immediately providing a host of benefits beyond just UV protection.
The combination of UV filtering, heat rejection, and glare control not only safeguards your interior but also makes your home more comfortable and energy-efficient. By reducing solar heat gain, these films can help lower your cooling costs, making the investment pay for itself over time.
The Clear Choice for Your Home
With Advanced Film Solutions, you don’t have to choose between a beautiful view and protecting your home.
Many of the films, including those from the 3M Prestige series, are designed to be optically clear, allowing natural light to fill your space without the negative effects of the sun. This means you can enjoy the view and the daylight you love, all while knowing that your home is protected by a state-of-the-art shield.
In summary, investing in Advanced Film Solutions‘ window film is a smart decision that offers a unique blend of protection, comfort, and cost savings. It’s an investment that not only preserves the aesthetic of your home but also contributes to its long-term value, making it one of the best home retrofits you can make.
