The more barriers that you can put between UV rays and your home items, the better.
Glass windows help, and the thicker the better.
In fact, dual pane glass about doubles the protection against UV rays compared to single-pane glass.
But if you really want to take the steps to safeguard your home décor, while not restricting the amount of natural light that you’re allowing in, window films are the best solution.
High-quality solar films block up to 99 percent of all UV rays, and help safeguard a home from solar heat, two of the biggest factors associated with fading.
What’s more is that window films are affordable, easy to install and unnoticeable if they’re installed properly.
They’re an ideal preventative solution to manage fading.
Think you don’t need window films because your decor isn’t exposed to direct sunlight?
Think again, as UV rays can bounce off things like trees and neighbouring homes to enter your home and cause your furniture to fade.
It’s like how UV rays can bounce off the water at the beach or in the pool.
Window films are a great addition to any home that wants to get a longer life from its flooring, curtains, and furnishings.
So, does window film stop fabric fading?
While it may not be the be-all, end-all solution to all the causes of fading, it can protect it from UV rays.
