Fight fading with UV protection window film

Understanding the causes of fading

It's important to be aware that UV rays are not the solitary cause of fading. While they are the biggest contributing factor, they combine with heat, light and other location specific factors to cause fading. The good news is that the Window Film Company can offer a fade mitigation film to best suit your situation.

Clear UV and other fade reduction window films

This type of film, often referred to as museum film, is often used on shopfronts, in art galleries or stately homes. The film, which comes in a variety of finishes and grades is suitable for any premises with a potential fading problem.

Fading can be an expensive problem for many businesses. It is a common misconception that ultraviolet rays are the only cause of fading. UV rays contribute only 40% to the fading problem. Heat and light contribute 25% each. The remaining 10% is caused by other factors such as bad ventilation, artificial light and the quality of the dyes in the furniture or fabric.
