Gaining insights into these elements can empower homeowners to combat fading and extend the lifespan of their floors, all while maintaining a visually appealing home.



what causes faded floors
  1. UVA and UVB Rays

The notorious UVA and UVB rays, responsible for sunburns, discreetly play a significant role in fading floors. Whether it's wood, carpet, or other surfaces basking in prolonged sunlight, a subtle transformation in color is inevitable. Even treated or sealed floors may fall victim to this process. Enter the undercover hero: window film. By blocking a whopping 99% of these harmful rays, solar film, decorative window film, anti-graffiti film, or security window film become the silent guardians of your floors and furnishings, offering protection while keeping the natural light flowing.


2. Infrared Heat

Infrared heat, a separate menace from UV rays, contributes to faded floors while escalating energy bills. Sunlight infiltrates your home, leading to warmth that the glass windows trap inside. This scenario results in an overheated space and spikes in air conditioning usage. Here steps in the solution with solar window film. This solution keep excess heat at bay, curbing electricity costs and minimizing the risk of sun fading, all while preserving the authentic charm of your home.

3. Sunlight (Visible Light)

Heavy curtains and windowless rooms seem like plausible fixes, but they undermine the very essence of having windows—to welcome in natural light. Home window film offers versatile options to strike a balance by reducing heat, glare, and harmful rays, allowing the seamless integration of natural light into your living spaces.
