According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, “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”. When driving in your vehicle the light pouring in through the glass has proven to cause more damage to the drivers skin on his/her drivers side rather than on his/her non driving side; the damage is irreversible. The picture of the man to the right shows the irreparable damage that UV rays can cause even while driving and not in direct sunlight. Luckily, over the years, the window film industry has proven to be extremely effective not only in the automotive world but in the residential and commercial realms as well!
The window film industry has taken the necessary steps to protect you and the things that matter the most. When window film is applied to your vehicle it can protect you, your loved ones and your vehicles interior by blocking 99.9 percent of UVB and UVA rays without reducing visibility. Window films keep the inside of your vehicle cooler and reduce energy costs, all while protecting the interior from fading and cracking and your skin from becoming damaged. Many people take necessary precautions to protect themselves outside when being exposed to the sun’s harmful rays, but most fail to realize that such precautions also need to be taken while indoors. Just because you are surrounded by walls and windows does not mean that one is receiving the protection that they need. The sun’s rays still enter the home and when one is exposed, skin damage and skin cancer can still be possible. At least 50 percent of UVA rays can pass through glass and into your home; about 85 percent of melanomas and 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to UV radiation. This is very dangerous to you, your family and your personal belongings; window film can block 99.9 percent of these damaging rays and will protect you and your most prized possessions.
Businesses are taking that next step to protect their commercial enterprises. The sun’s rays can damage office interiors and can create unwanted glare, increase heat and damage the fragile skin of employees and customers. You can now receive protection from daily UV exposure that can cause skin aging, cancer, and sunburn, all of which can occur from brief encounters with the sun’s rays while in the office. These special films can also add privacy and reduce the chances of break-ins; visit our website at https://allamericanwindowtinting.com/ for the many different types of window films we carry, you’ll be sure to find the film to suit all your needs.

- In cold weather, it reflects interior heat back into the house, reducing heating costs.
- It helps keep sunshine from fading car upholstery and home/office furnishings.
- Some new types of “safety” film help hold residential and commercial glass in place if shattered. Several times thicker than the standard sun-protective film, it can greatly reduce the chances of break-ins, property damage, and even personal injury that can result from broken glass.
