Guarding your retail merchandise from threats is essential for preserving the livelihood of your business. When retail products get damaged, it impacts your bottom line and your ability to produce a profit. Retail owners often focus on threats like theft and vandalism, but what about the less obvious dangers like UV rays emitted from the sun? Window film offers New York retail stores a way to prevent fading and protect merchandise from solar radiation.

 

Why Are UV Rays a Problem for Retail Stores?

UV rays pose a threat to retail stores because they cause fading. These undetectable frequencies are carried by light emitted from the sun through the atmosphere to the surface of the earth.

When sunlight shines through retail storefronts and windows, UV rays are transferred into the interior. Once inside, they cause dyes to lose their color, giving fabrics, leather, paint, and wood a bleached appearance.

Over time, retail locations can lose thousands of dollars in merchandise from UV damage.

 

UV Blocking Window Film Protects New York Retail Stores

In order to prevent fading in your retail store, you must protect it from UV ray exposure. Installing UV blocking window film for your New York commercial building is one of the easiest and most effective ways to accomplish this.

UV blocking window tints are created with a spectrally selective design that allows them to single out UV frequencies. UV light is unable to pass through the surface of the film while visible light is transmitted freely. This way, your store is protected from UV rays, but doesn’t lose any light.
