Enjoy sunlight without sacrificing the life of your furniture, floors and textiles.
Sunlight is an asset in any home – it creates a warm, lively atmosphere and improves well-being. But it has a less noticeable side effect: over time, UV radiation fades furniture, flooring, curtains and other interior elements. Modern glazing offers a way to enjoy the light without sacrificing the longevity of your interior.
UV rays entering through windows gradually cause:
of textiles, furniture, artwork and flooring
for some materials, UV exposure can speed up brittleness or cracking
areas constantly exposed to the sun fade noticeably faster than shaded zones, creating visible unevenness
Glass can be given a coating that filters most UV radiation while keeping natural light transmission and a clear view.
Low-emissivity (low-E) glass, used primarily for thermal insulation, often also provides partial UV protection as an added benefit.
Glazing units with a laminated layer provide a higher degree of UV filtering while also improving security and sound insulation.
Quality UV-protective glass solutions can filter a significant share of the UV radiation that normally passes through ordinary glass – meaning a substantial reduction in fading risk while keeping rooms bright and naturally lit.
If you have invested in quality, high-end materials, UV protection helps preserve their appearance in the long term.
South-facing rooms or rooms with large glass areas are especially exposed to UV.
Wherever long-term preservation of appearance is a priority, UV protection is a practical investment.
No – quality UV-filtering solutions are designed to keep high visible light transmission, filtering precisely the part of the radiation that causes damage rather than reducing brightness.
