What Causes Fading & Sun Damage?
 |
Get The Facts About Fading & Sun Damage From The Experts. Of all the aspects of window film, fading and sun damage is one of the most misunderstood. There is a common myth that Ultra-Violet (U.V.) light causes all fading. Some window and blind dealers tell customers if they get rid of U.V. light they also get rid of fading. This is far from the case. No window product, be it blinds, drapes, window film, or any window made by any manufacturer, will completely eliminate fading. In fact the majority of fading, 50% actually, comes from the sun's heat and glare, also known as "Visible Light". The more you reduce these factors, the more you will reduce total fading. |
