how to prevent fading

[SwiftDeath]

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

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.

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

I believe twistedsymphony has his collection in his basement from the look of his pictures not sure of course

Quite interested to hear from Mortal as he's certainly the type to worry about that sort of thing and try to protect it

Worth a try as they are usually busy and wouldn't necessarily post on here

I am buying some of that UV film tomorrow anyway
And have recently put up NeT curtains to help block some of the light out
