This is the reason why residential window films as well as automotive window tints are a must! This doesn’t just protect your furniture, car upholstery and paint and provides privacy, the most important thing is that solar films shields you from the negative effects the sun can have on your health too.
Damages And Wears Down Surfaces
Wood floors, countertops, and furniture fades or becomes damaged over time, but with the harsh sunlight streaming down constantly, that will happen prematurely. Aside from that, did you know that leather can fade and crack when constantly exposed to the sun? But then you can spare you car’s upholstery from premature damages which, of course, saves you money from repair or repurchasing if your car is tinted. This is because car tints serves as a barrier from direct sunlight to block 90% of harmful UV rays from entering. Window films can do the same thing for surfaces around your house so it’s definitely an investment that’s worth every penny.
Dries Out And Fades Paint
If you’re not driving or using the car, always park it somewhere covered. This is the easiest and cheapest way to prevent UV damage to your car’s paint job. Even a warm garage beats being parked in the sun all day. So whenever there’s an available garage, use it. Not only that your interior will stay cool, but your paint job won’t suffer to premature damage either. Also, when you’re washing your car make sure you don’t do it under direct sunlight. Remember that the water and cleaning agent is already making your paint job vulnerable, don’t mix UV rays into that. And when you can’t find a covered parking lot, use a car cover to at least give a barrier for your car’s paint from the sunlight.
Weakens Plastic
We have all seen plastic bottles and containers go dull and change shape in the sun. Although the mutation is often credited to the heat itself it has nothing to do with the temperature of the bottle. UV radiation is responsible for weakening the bonds in plastic, which causes it to lose color and change shapes. In other words, UV light makes it easily for heat to affect plastic as it weakens the bonds at a chemical level.
Fades Color In Fabrics
Do you notice how your curtains, drapes, and other textiles around the house, especially those that are close to the windows seem to look faded over time? Even if you try to wash them gently, fading will still happen because they’re exposed to UV radiation. This is the reason why moms like to soak white shirts under the sun because it effectively makes the white even whiter!
Causes Skin Cancer
Do you think your skin is safe from the UV rays just because you’re inside a car or you’re indoors? Not exactly! There’s a reason why most drivers suffer from left-side skin cancer! Even if you stay inside the house most of the time or work indoors, the sun can still get to you. Reduce harmful UV rays by up to 99% by installing quality car tint as well as residential window films.
Increases Chances Of Heatstroke
When the temperature is very high, your body can feel overheated even when you’re not outside. The temperature inside your house can rise just the same if you have a lot of windows and you don’t have air conditioning unit. Avoid this by drinking lots of cold water to keep your body cool and invest in heat-resistant window films for your home.
It Can Damage Your Eyes Too
Did you know that cataracts form in people who are always exposed to sunlight? The majority of UV light from the sun enters the eye through its lens. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can irritate or potentially burn the lens of the eye. Cataract can obscure your vision, although you can seek surgery for this, why let it get to that point if you can do something to prevent it from the first place?
