Window film blocks 99% of ultraviolet (UV) light — a figure that's consistent across virtually all quality architectural films, whether they're solar, privacy or clear UV films. That near-total UV block is one of film's most valuable and least-appreciated benefits.
Why 99% matters
UV is the single biggest cause of fading in floors, furniture, curtains, artwork and stock. Cutting 99% of it dramatically slows that damage — the difference between a sofa or hardwood floor lasting years longer versus bleaching in the sun strip.
It works even on grey days
UV passes through cloud, so fading happens all year, not just in sunshine. That's why UV protection is so relevant in Scotland — the damage is continuous whatever the sky is doing, and film blocks it regardless.
Clear or tinted — same UV block
You don't need a dark film for UV protection. Even a near-invisible clear UV film blocks 99% of UV, so you can protect a room without changing how the glass looks at all.
The bottom line
Window film blocks 99% of UV — the most effective single step to stop your interior fading, and it works clear or tinted, sunny or grey. Book a survey to protect the rooms that matter.
