Default Re: how to prevent fading

I have just applied some of this to my windows:

Ultra UV Reduction Window Film

The solar film has a very slight neutral tint to it which will also help in reducing visible light and solar heat which are the other two main causes of fading - stops 99% of rays.

Ah so while normal lighting produces UV light, it's negligible for the most part

Thanks lily

If I ever get my collection organized somewhere, I'll certainly look into this

Can you tell me more details , like rough cost or the supplier?
As the site I linked too has 2 versions, they have a UV only film and a tinted + UV film

I got the UV and tinted one, it's stops all UV and is 30% darker and if you look at my window from outside it has like a slight reflective look to it.

I was looking for the link before I posted but I couldn't find it - I think I paid around ?30.00 and ended up with more than I needed as well.

Also you just cut and apply with water it's really simple, but means I can enjoy daylight and my collection is protected as well

Hi guys, a bit of an old post but just wondering how you guys got on with the UV window film you bought - did it do the trick? Im a window film installer so it's always interesting to hear case studies - good or bad.
