Window Films for Storm Protection
July 15, 2014According to experts at the International Window Film Association (IWFA), the answer is yes, if your windows aren’t properly tinted. Non-tinted windows allow dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays to pass through to occupants in cars and buildings. “If you’re sitting next to a window with sunlight streaming in, you’re at risk for UV damage to your skin and eyes,” said Darrell Smith, executive director of the IWFA. “Window film brings automatic and continuous protection indoors without the need to take action in the form of sunblock,” added Smith. The IWFA is a nonprofit group representing the many benefits of window film for consumers on behalf of leading manufacturers, distributors and dealers.
Residential and commercial window films can reduce glare by more than half while allowing 30 to 80 percent of visible light in and blocking up to 99.9 percent of the sun’s UV rays. Window film protects from the dangers of the sun while letting in natural light, safely.
