The sun has many effects and benefits, including increased productivity & reduced gas & electricity bills. But UV rays from the sun can damage to the skin & assets if they are not protected.
UV rays penetrate buildings through glass windows, which exposes occupants and users to UV radiation.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, UV radiation wavelengths that penetrate the atmosphere & play an important role in skin conditions are classified as A & B.
UV rays also fade furniture, wallpaper, artwork, fabric, flooring, and merchandise, etc, in windows and window displays.
“To see the damage that untreated glass can do, take a close look at the furnishings in your home that are hit by direct sunlight,” says Perry Robins, MD, President of The Skin Cancer Foundation. “If the sun has faded the color of your sofa, it can just as easily damage your skin when you sit there.”

‘Ultraviolet rays (UVR) are sneaky. Not only can they cause skin cancer and visible signs of aging, they’re also very good at finding you. They can bounce off water, off sand, and they can penetrate glass. Which means that even if you’re inside your car or house, if you’re sitting next to a window with sunlight streaming in, you’re at risk for UV damage. Window film is an increasingly effective solution, offering substantial indoor protection by blocking up to 99.9 percent of UVA radiation.’
