3M™ Window Tint, a UV film, is scientifically proven to block harmful UV rays from entering into your home, business or vehicle – adding a layer of protection for you and your property from the long-term effects of the sun.
Protect your belongings from fading and the harsh effects of direct sunlight with 3M’s UV film solutions.
How UV Film Works to Block UV Rays
Our UV film solutions are manufactured using innovation and science to block UV rays from entering your space, whether that be your home, business or vehicle.
3M Window Film is constructed using hundreds of layers of very thin film. Each layer is specifically placed to deflect the sun’s unwanted rays – including UV rays and heat-producing infrared rays. It has to do with the precision in which the light waves are controlled as they pass through or reflect off each layer of film. The result? A total of 99.9% of UV rays are rejected.
This means our UV film solutions offer a layer of protection over your glass, stopping nearly all of the sun’s harmful rays from reaching your skin and your belongings.
How Blocking UV Rays with UV Film Protects Your Property
UV rays are among the leading cause of fading of furniture, flooring and property, and UV film can create a barrier to prevent these damaging rays from doing harm.
Fading refers to the color diminishing over time. According to the University of Central Florida’s Florida Solar Energy Center, “Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is the single largest contributing factor in fading of fabrics, carpets and other furnishings. Although visible light, electric lighting, heating, humidity, age of fabrics and fabric dyes all play a part in the process, UV radiation is attributed to 40% of the damage. Protecting against UV is not just important in hot, sunny climates. Even in cold, cloudy climates, UV radiation can damage furnishings.”
Nothing can stop fading over time, but stopping the UV rays from entering your space to begin using UV film with can certainly prolong the life of your furnishings, flooring and belongings.
How Blocking UV Rays with UV Film Protects You and Your Family
Exposure to UV rays can also cause skin cancer, premature aging, eye damage and more, but 3M window film’s UV film adds protection for you and your family.
UV radiation is broken into two types. UVA can cause tanning, skin aging and eventually sunburn. UVB is predominately the cause of sunburns. Together, they can damage the DNA within cells which eventually can lead to skin cancer, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
3M’s UV film acts like a “broad-spectrum” sunscreen and can block both types of harmful UV rays. It’s ability to keep the UV rays from reaching your skin means you can enjoy your windows and your view without concern.
For drivers, most windshields are laminated glass designed to block most of the UVB and some of the UVA radiation. However, the glass windows on the sides and back do not contain the same protection. This is where 3M Window Film can assist. The film can be installed on all of your windows, including your windshield for added protection. So, if you are searching for “windshield tinting near me,” Advanced Window Tinting can assist.
3M Window Film can make a positive difference in your overall experience with natural sunlight, whether that is at home, at work or on the road.
