Causes of FadingWindow Films address the three major causes of fading:Our films reduce up to 99 percent of the sun's ultraviolet rays and reject up to 79 percent of the solar heat that may otherwise come through a window. They also help reduce winter heat loss by insulating and reflecting up to 35 percent of indoor heat back into the room. You will find our films are also easy on the eyes. On the outside, they give your home, car or business a more pleasing, unified look. On the inside, our films provide glare reduction for you and others.  Sun Control Films save energy, as well as helping to protect your furnishings, drapes, carpet, woodwork and artwork from destructive ultraviolet rays that cause fading. Safety and Security Films provide fragment retention by holding glass together during destructive weather, smash and grab crimes or acts of terrorism. They help to seal out the water, the primary cause of property damage and they have a toughness that allows these films to withstand day-to-day abuse.
