Ultraviolet transmission through glazing is one of the major causes of fading. in retail, museums, art galleries, stately homes this is a critical issue. UVB radiation is mostly screened by glass but UVA radiation passes through glass as if it wasn't there. If protection of artefacts, furnishings, decorations are of concern then the effective blocking of UVA is a primary concern.

As a general rule fading is caused by 40% UV, 25% visible light,  25% heat and 10% miscellaneous factors.

Within LLumar® performance film's extensive range there are specialist UV blocking films that will block 99.9% of the Ultraviolet Transmission through the glazing - and with the clear film version it is impossible to detect the film on the glass once the film has been installed. There are other films that will also deal with the visible light and heat issues as well as blocking 99.9% of the UVA transmission.

Whilst no film can completely eliminate the effects of fading due to the solar spectrum, over 80% of UV, infrared and visible light can be rejected with LLumar® performance films.

Fading is a complicated process and subject but LLumar® have a great product that can significantly slow down the rate at which fading damage occurs.
