As we spend more time indoors, we look to our windows to bring sunlight and warmth into our homes. But, with the benefits of natural light come the risks of harmful UV rays. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause furniture to fade and deteriorate, while also putting our skin at risk for long-term damage. Fortunately, window tinting provides an effective solution for protecting both your furniture and skin from harmful UV rays. As a leading Bay Area tint company, Jet Black Tint and Glass has been providing commercial window tint installation services, helping businesses protect their investments. In this post, we’ll explore the importance of UV-blocking window tinting and how it can help preserve your furniture and protect your skin.
UV radiation is categorized into three, including UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA and UVB are the most familiar to most of us, and they can cause harm to various household items and our skin. UVA radiation is the aging ray that penetrates through glass and causes the aging of skin, causing ugly and premature wrinkles and age spots. It also fades paint, damages fabrics, and breaks down collagen in household fixtures, making them age quickly. Meanwhile, UVB radiation is the burning ray that causes sunburn and skin cancer. UVB radiation can also cause discoloration in home furnishings and lead to fading in textiles.
Installing UV-blocking window tinting in your home can significantly protect you and your property from the harmful effects of UV rays.
The Skin Cancer Foundation (SCF) reports that approximately 90% of all skin cancers are caused by UV radiation from the sun. With commercial window tint, you can significantly reduce sun damage, lower your risk of developing skin cancer, and prevent premature aging.
UV rays can cause discoloration and fading in furniture, paintings, rugs, flooring, and other materials. Window tinting has the ability to block up to 99% of UV rays, providing a significant safeguard against damage to your furniture and household fixtures.
Installing UV-blocking window tinting requires the help of professionals to ensure optimal results. Here are a few things to consider:
Before investing in window tinting products, it’s important to understand the different types available. At Jet Black Tint and Glass, we offer an extensive range of UV-blocking commercial window tints, including:
The tinting process involves a professional installation, where measurements are taken of the windows and the desired window tinting film is chosen. The installer will place the tinting film on the inside of the window and carefully smooth it out, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Lastly, the installer will trim the excess film, leaving a seamless and professional-looking finish.
To increase the longevity and effectiveness of your UV-blocking window tinting, consider these maintenance and care tips:
Clean your window tinting with a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution, avoiding vinegar or ammonia-based cleaners that could wear down the tinting film. Using a bladed tool will harm your tint and cause permanent damage.
Avoid using abrasive cloths or materials that can scratch the tinting film on the windows. This can weaken the tint and decrease its effectiveness over time.
Investing in a professional window tinting installation from Jet Black Tint and Glass will ensure that your UV-blocking window tinting is installed correctly and will last for years.
