UV window film and fading

UV is part of the picture

Fading is influenced by ultraviolet radiation, visible light, heat and the sensitivity of the material. Cutting UV exposure does not remove every cause. No window film can promise that fabrics, artwork or stock will never fade.

For valuable or unusually sensitive items, discuss the complete display or conservation requirements with the relevant specialist as well as considering a film.

Clear does not mean identical performance

A clear appearance describes how a film looks, not its complete technical specification. Compare the proposed product’s UV information, visible-light transmission and compatibility with the glass. A clear Low-E option may serve a different purpose from a clear safety film.

Plan around the room or display

Tell us what needs protection, where it sits and how long it receives direct sunlight. Include the approximate pane sizes and any glass specifications. We can advise on the film options and explain the information still needed.

Measuring, made-to-measure supply and professional installation are available within an agreed project. Sample requests can help with appearance, while the final product data confirms the performance being specified.
