Preventing UV Fading in Reynoldsburg Homes
This project focused on protecting a Reynoldsburg residence from the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays. The homeowners sought a solution to prevent fading of their interior furnishings, artwork, and flooring, while crucially maintaining the natural light within their home.
How UV Rays Cause Fading
Ultraviolet radiation, an invisible component of sunlight, penetrates standard window glass and accelerates the degradation of materials. This process leads to discoloration and fading of fabrics, carpets, furniture, and even the pigments in artwork.
The Role of Avery Dennison SP-E LITE 70i Film
To address the fading issue, Avery Dennison SP-E LITE 70i window film was selected and installed on 46 windows, covering approximately 306 square feet. This specific film is engineered to allow high visible light transmission (VLT), meaning it lets in a significant amount of natural light. Simultaneously, it effectively blocks an estimated 99% of harmful UV rays. This dual action protects the interior from sun damage without darkening the living space.
Key Benefits for Reynoldsburg Residents
The primary benefit for this Reynoldsburg property is the significant reduction in UV-induced fading. By blocking nearly all UV radiation, the film acts as a shield, extending the lifespan and preserving the appearance of interior items. Additionally, while the main goal was UV protection, this film also offers some reduction in solar heat gain, contributing to a more comfortable indoor environment.
