Protect Furniture and Interiors from Sun Damage

Sunlight coming through windows can expose your home and furnishings to damaging effects over time, causing materials to fade, discolor, and lose their original appearance.

Commonly affected surfaces include:

  • Furniture and upholstery
  • Hardwood floors and rugs
  • Artwork, photos, and décor
  • Curtains and window treatments
  • Retail displays and merchandise

If you’re looking for a way to protect furniture from sunlight without blocking your windows, window film offers a simple and effective solution. 3M sun control window film helps protect these surfaces and preserve the look of your space over time.

How 3M Insulating / Sun Control Window Film
Can Reduce Fading

3M Window Films deliver superior fade protection and UV protection to help keep your home, furnishings, and valuables protected. They are designed to tackle the three main causes of fading: UV rays, visible light, and solar heat.

1) Blocks Ultraviolet Light

The sun’s UV rays cause skin cancer, but they can also cause furnishings to fade over time. You cannot see or feel UV, but it’s there, and it’s doing damage to both your skin, furniture, and floors.

Most window films, even clear ones, block out 99% of the sun’s UV, thereby reducing the likelihood that UV rays will cause your couches and floors to fade.

2) Filters Visible Light

Visible light is the reason you can’t stare directly at the sun; it’s simply too bright. The sun’s daylight causes fading. Window film can block out these damaging rays.

The darker the film, the more visible light the film is blocking, thus helping to preserve your furnishings.

3) Rejects Infrared Heat

Infrared energy is the heat you feel on a hot day. This heat not only causes personal discomfort, but it also damages your home’s fabrics and floors. Many window films, such as 3M Prestige Sun Control Window Film, are designed to block 97% (900-1,000nm) of the sun’s infrared heat , which will help protect your furnishings.
By blocking UV rays, visible light, and infrared heat, 3M Sun Control / Insulating Window Films can prolong the life of your furniture and floors.
