UV Protection Window Film Sydney
Help protect your furnishings, flooring and interiors from harmful UV rays with professional UV protection window film for homes and commercial properties.
What Causes UV Damage Inside Homes And Offices?
The gradual fading of interiors or furniture is due to being exposed to strong direct sunlight that Sydney receives throughout the year.
But in technical terms, things are a little bit more complicated than that. The sunlight we receive is divided into 3 main categories: visible light, infrared radiation and Ultraviolet Light (UV rays).
Even though it constitutes less than 10% of total energy emitted by the sun, UV rays are what causes sunburns to skin and damage to unprotected surfaces.
The way it works, UV rays can pass through any normal glass not having UV protection window film applied and starts causing damage to your interiors, and this damage accumulates over time to cause fading after prolonged exposure.
UV window film stops this by blocking more than 99% of UV rays while still letting natural light through.

Frequently asked questions
Does window film block UV rays?
UV protection window films block UV rays by a percentage exceeding 99%. UV rays carry the most damaging part of the sun's energy, and by blocking the majority from entering through your windows, you will be protecting the interior for a very long time.
Will UV film stop furniture fading?
UV rays are one of the main contributors to fading, and by blocking 99% of them with the UV Protection Window Film, you would have dramatically decreased the chances of fading. There are no films that will completely block all harmful energy, but blocking most of it is certainly what should be done. Think of it this way, if you are lying on the beach without UV blocking sunscreen, you will get skin burn much faster than with having the proper protection on.
Does UV film make windows dark?
Not necessarily, window films come in different darkness grades and it is totally up to customers to choose which shade they would like to install. Most of the modern window films can still achieve 99% protection from UV rays even if they are very light or barely visible on the glass.
Can UV film help protect timber floors?
Timber floors or any timber items will fade when subjected to a lot of sunlight over the years. Fade protection window films will help in delaying this process and extending the life and appearance of your timber floors. So unless you have your curtains closed at all times, then UV films are your only solution to help protecting your flooring.
Does UV protection film also reduce heat?
Not all UV protection films reduce heat if they are not designed to do so. For example, you can apply a clear window security film, you won't know that it is there but it still blocks UV rays to a certain percentage. But there is certainly a solution if you are looking to reduce heat as well. Some films we apply can block 99% of UV rays and around 80% of heat.
