UV Protection to Prevent Fabric Fading

The benefits of tinting the windows in your home and your car

Whether you’ve lived in Austin all your life or have only spent time visiting, you know how hot it can get. When the sun starts beating down, all you want to do is go inside to escape it. Though you may be able to avoid sun damage, the upholstery in your car and your house can’t escape. Day after day of sun exposure can add up, leading to unsightly fading.

Protection for the Home

You could just keep the drapes closed all the time to stop sun damage to indoor fabrics, but then you’d never get to enjoy beautiful natural light. That’s where window tinting comes in. Choosing this method of solar control can block up to 99.9% of UV rays depending on the type of film. Window tinting will keep this type of damaging light away from your furniture to preserve the look of the fabric without blocking your view of the great outdoors.

Blocking Sun in the Car

Keeping every bit of sunlight out of your car is next to impossible. You can install a windshield screen and even hang towels over other windows, but light is still going to get in. Tinting the windows in your vehicle is a more practical solution that provides consistent protection from UV light not only for the interior fabric but also for you and your family as you drive. Exposure to UV rays can damage skin over time, making tinted windows a smart health choice. Plus, you don’t have to worry about trying to find a parking spot in the shade since the tint will protect the car’s interior.

The Heat Factor

The more sunlight that shines into your home or car, the hotter it can get. This not only makes it difficult to keep cool in the height of summer, but it also contributes to fabric fading. In the car, too much heat can cause fixtures to become brittle or even start to crack. Tinting the windows blocks up to 65% of this damaging heat. You’ll enjoy cooler living and driving environments as well as peace of mind knowing that you’re prolonging the life of your upholstery.
