Is it just us or does it feel like summer suddenly showed up out of nowhere?! Next week, temperatures are expected to reach above 90 degrees in New York City and you know what that means. Summer is officially upon us! Pretty soon, we’ll all be sweating in our cars and apartments, dreaming of cooler spring days. Since we’ll be seeing plenty of sunshine in the coming months, now is a good time to invest in UV protection for your office. UV blocking window film provides New York businesses with a way to protect staff and building interiors from the sun and avoid the consequences of UV damage.

 

Why Does My Office Need UV Protection?

It’s a fair question to ask. After all, UV rays are only serious if you’re outside… right? Wrong! Despite popular misconceptions, ultraviolet radiation is just as threatening indoors as it is outside. UV light infiltrates office interiors through unprotected windows. Once inside, it can wreak havoc by:

  • Putting your staff’s health in jeopardy
  • Warping wood floors, cabinets, and wood furniture
  • Causing carpet and flooring to look ancient from fading
  • Bleaching all the color out of office furniture made from leather and fabric
  • Creating glare and heat and increasing energy costs

 

UV Blocking Window Film for Solar Defense

Now that you understand the importance of UV protection, let’s talk about how window tinting can help. Installing UV blocking window film for your New York office is one of the best ways to protect your interior and staff from the sun.

Window film is manufactured to be spectrally selective. This means only certain types of light can transmit through its surface. UV rays are kept on the outer side of the film while visible light is allowed through. In this way, it protects your office from ultraviolet radiation without blocking out natural light.

In other words, you’ll be able to enjoy a bright, beautiful office without worrying about the consequences of UV damage!
