UV rays are notorious for giving us painful sunburns. But did you know that the effects of UV exposure go far beyond skin irritation? UV rays are just as much of a concern inside as they are outdoors since they can get into your home through your windows. The best way to stop them? UV protection window film.

Below, we’ve listed three reasons why you should consider UV blocking window film for your Baltimore home.

 

Why You Need UV Protection for Your Home

Sunburns may only last for a couple of days. But other consequences of UV exposure are longer-lasting. In fact, they may have detrimental effects on your health and your home.

It’s important to protect your home from UV rays because they cause:

  • Fading in furniture, carpets, artwork, draperies, and wood floors
  • Heat damage and warping to wood
  • Eye disease and cataracts
  • Sun spots, wrinkles, and premature aging
  • Immune system and endocrine system disruption

 

Three Benefits of UV Blocking Window Film

If you want to keep UV rays out of your home, you need UV protection window film. UV protection film uses spectrally selective technology to block UV light and infrared rays without making your home dark. Some of the benefits of installing UV blocking window film include:

#1: Reduced risk of skin cancer

Your risks of developing skin cancer decrease when your exposure to UV rays is limited. UV blocking film keeps out 99.9% of UV radiation, which is why it’s recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

#2: Protects your eye health

You’ll reduce your risk of developing eye disease like glaucoma and cateracts.

#3: Preserves furniture, floors, and décor

You won’t have to replace your furniture or interior décor due to fading. Your floors and furniture will last longer, which will save you money.
