UV protection from window film

In new Zealand we experience one of the highest levels of UV in the world. The damage UV causes is well documented and we are aware of skin cancer, melanomas and damage to the eyes. Hence we are told to wear sunscreen and glasses. The same UV also is a big part of fading of furnishings in our homes, at work and in our cars and boats.

By nature, window film is polyester based. Polyester breaks down under UV, so good quality window film has at least one layer of UV inhibitor to protect the film. Consequently anything behind the window tint is protected from UVA and UVB.
