QUESTIONS ABOUT UVShield window films |
| Why does someone
need UVShield™ window film?
Automotive glass (except windshields) and ordinary architectural glass
found in homes and offices only protect occupants from UVB rays. It has
been found that UVA rays have detrimental effects on humans such as
premature aging of the skin , cancers of the skin and eye disease such as
cataracts and age related and macular degeneration. UVShield™ provides
99.9% UVA and UVB protection. UVShield™ window film also carries the Skin
Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation for use as a device for the
protection of skin. |
| Why would someone want UVShield™
instead of conventional glass tinting?
Many individuals do not like 'a tinted appearance'. They are afraid they
will not be able to see out and prefer a clear appearance on their
vehicle. UVShield™ at 70% visible light transmission on glass provides a
virtually clear appearance in cars or in homes. Also in many states
automotive tinting is either illegal or has limited application. |
|
Why would someone care whether their tinting is 99% or 99.9%?
If an individual has any type of sun sensitivity they want the highest
level of protection available. UVShield™ at 99.9% covers a wider range of
UVA wavelengths than other films. |
| Does UVShield provide the same
degree of solar protection as darker tinted films?
No, because UVShield™ has such a high light transmission it does not
provide the heat and glare reduction of darker (50%, 35%, etc.) glass
tinting. |
| How long will the
film last? UVShield™ has a lifetime
warranty to the original owner of the vehicle or home against cracking,
peeling and bubbling. The ultraviolet absorbing properties of the film may
change very slightly over the lifetime of the film depending on
atmospheric conditions. Individuals with medical conditions and UV
sensitivity should have their film checked after 3 years by an authorized
UVShield™ dealer to ascertain any change, which they feel may be
detrimental. The warranty does not cover replacement for UV absorbency
changes. |
| Are there competitive products
equal to UVShield™? No, UVShield™
is unique. UVShield™ is a patented process created by CPFilms, and CPFilms
is the only company making a film with this unprecedented level of UV
protection. |
| Will UVShield
prevent my home and vehicle interiors from fading?
No film product prevents fading entirely.
Fading is a chemical reaction to a combination of heat, light and
ultraviolet. While UVShield™ will reduce fading and interior damage, no
product eliminates fading. |
| Why does UVShield™ cost more than
some of the traditional films?
Because it is difficult to make a high light transmission product with
such a high level of UV absorbers and still maintain good optical clarity |
