Sunlight can damage structures if they are not protected. Not only can they cause discoloration of the furniture in your office, but they also have negative effects directly on you.

To avoid these various problems, you can install adhesive films for windows for better sun protection of your buildings.

Facts about Ultraviolet (UV) Light

UV light is a natural component of solar radiation. It lies in the region between visible light and X-rays in the electromagnetic spectrum, between the wavelengths 100 nm and 400 nm. UV light can be classified into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C.

Sunlight consists of many different wavelengths, but only one is harmful: ultraviolet (UV) light. UV light includes all frequencies except infrared (IR) and visible light. This includes harmful waves in the UVA range. It is emitted by both natural sources (such as sunlight) and artificial sources (such as lamps).

Too much exposure to UV radiation can lead to diseases such as skin cancer and eye damage.

Damage caused by UV light

UV light from the sun is a major factor in damage to buildings. This sunlight can fade paint, soften and crack plaster, and cause physical damage to vinyl siding, metal, brick and stone.

The heat from this UV light can also damage carpets, grass, and wood decks, as well as cause respiratory problems for people with lung or skin conditions.

Solar protection** using solar adhesive films for windows offers a solution for people who are exposed to the sun's rays through glazing.

Solar protection films for buildings - What are they?

When you are near the windows of a building, they offer a view that can also be a source of heat. That's why providing solar protection to buildings with adhesive film limits solar heat gain and glare in these spaces.

Window solar protection films reduce solar heat gain by reducing the amount of UV light that enters buildings through windows. They are applied to a window with an adhesive side, so you don't have to worry about managing curtains or blinds.

To determine which type of film is best for sun protection in your building, it is important to identify what type of windows are facing the sun and what your priorities are for that space in terms of use.
