What is it that causes fading to furniture, flooring and floor coverings, draperies, artwork and photographs? The answer is obvious when the damage is close to windows and glass doors - for the most part it is sun damage. But what is it about the sun that fades your draperies and ruins your upholstery?
Primarily the same rays that damage human skin are the same solar rays that fade and damage interiors, ultraviolet or "UV" rays. UV radiation is responsible for up to 40% of solar damage to your furnishings and in retails stores, displays and merchandise near glass windows and doors. Another 25% each is attributable to solar hear (infrared) and visible light from the sun.
Solar control window films from Apex block between 98 and 100% of the sun's damaging UV rays from penetrating glass. This means a longer life for your interior elements as well as great protection for people! Solar control films also block varying degrees of heat and visible light, depending upon the film selected, to help protect interior elements in both commercial and residential settings.
When you consider the benefits of added comfort and reduced air conditioning demands when solar control window films (often referred to as windows tints, though some are actually clear) it really makes sense to install these windows films - you will save money on your energy bills and add life to your interiors - and in the case of retails stores, you will reduce costs from merchandise and displays damaged by the sun.
