UV Skin Protection
Why UV window films? Many people think of sun damage only when they are in the garden, on the beach or on holiday. Of course, you put sunscreen on at the beach, but what about everyday life at home or at work?
The glass used for windows in your home, workplace or car only offers some protection from UVB rays, those that cause sunburn. Unless specially coated, glass offers no protection from UVA rays, which cause both skin ageing and skin cancer. In addition, UVA rays penetrate glass year round no matter what the season leaving you exposed, even in the winter when you are less likely to wear sun cream. With all those UV rays beating down on you, your family and your work colleagues, harmful UVA and UVB ray exposure through the glazing can cause premature skin ageing and skin cancer.
By adding UV window films to your existing glazing. We can help protect you from premature skin ageing and some potential harmful skin cancers with up to 99% UV protection.
One simple application of our UV protection window film will help prevent the devastating effects of ultraviolet rays, such as premature ageing, wrinkles, sunspots and even skin cancer, protecting all year round and not just for the summer.
What the Skin Cancer Foundation say
Summertime is here, and along with the season’s good weather often comes an increased awareness of the dangers associated with catching too much sun. Many people think of sun damage is only when they are in the garden, on the beach or on holiday. But the reality is we have to change how we think about skin cancer. The sun is harmful, whether exposure at the beach, in the car, at work, or at home. The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation demonstrates that our window film is an excellent solution for anyone who is looking to protect their skin.
According to the Skin Foundation
Over 66,000 deaths occur annually worldwide from melanoma and other skin cancers (World Health Organisation).
Currently, between 2 and 3 million non-melanoma skin cancers and 132,000, melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year caused by UVA and UVB rays (World Health Organisation). The skin cancer rate in the UK has doubled since 1980. More than 90% of all skin cancers are caused by cumulative ultraviolet radiation exposure.
