Have you heard of UV fade protection window film? If you’re a resident of Kansas City, you already know how intense the sun can be shining into your home. You probably take all sorts of precautions about the sun’s UV rays when you are outdoors, including sunglasses, sunscreen, maybe even a hat, right?
What many people don’t know is how much the sun’s UV rays can also damage the interior of your home. UV rays can cause your floors finish to degrade over time. It can cause your artwork, your curtains, your rugs and carpets, and even your furniture and upholstery to fade. Did you ever turn the cushion over on your sofa, and feel shocked at how much newer and more vibrant the underside of the cushion looked? The side that had never been exposed to the sun?
The fact is, without UV fade protection window film, you either need to keep your curtains closed against the sun (and who likes that?) or allow your furnishings to become faded and shabby well before their time. This can cost you a fortune in replacements over the years.
What is UV fade protection window film? It is a special film that is applied to the interior of the windows of your home that will block up to 99 percent of the sun’s UV rays. It is a maintenance free, long term solution to the problem of fading, discoloration, and damage the sun can cause in your home.
Now, here’s the kicker! Most UV fade protection window films are also energy efficiency window films that can not just save you money on furnishings . . . but on your heating and cooling costs as well. Because the same coating that cuts the UV rays also keeps your heat inside your home all winter, not escaping through the glass like it usually will with plain glass. And it blocks a certain percentage of the sun’s heat gain in the summer, keeping your home cooler.
So UV fade protection window films are a cutting edge product that once applied, afford you all sorts of money saving benefits. This product usually pays for itself in a few short years and then the savings keep continuing. And in this day and age, who doesn’t like that?
