Why A LOW-E Window Glass?
Though the sun offers many benefits, prolonged exposure can be harmful for you and your home. Excessive exposure to UV rays can damage home furniture and flooring. Keep your furniture, artwork, and flooring protected from the sun by following the tips in this guide.
Rugs and Runners
If you have specific areas on your flooring that are constantly exposed to direct sunlight, cover them with runners and rugs. Remember that prolonged exposure to sunlight will lighten your hardwood flooring.
Wood flooring can also be treated with a UV-inhibiting finish which minimizes the rate and intensity of fading. Like fabrics, darker shades fade quickly, so it’s better to choose light-colored flooring to prevent discoloration.
Cover Furniture Or Use Blinds
If you like sunlight filling up your living space, ensure your furniture is protected. Sometimes it’s difficult to avoid placing furniture away from the sun’s UV rays. If your home has high sunlight exposure, cover the furniture with UV-blocking slipcovers and opt for stone, glass, or tile-topped tables.
To give your bedroom or living room a cozy look, place blinds or shades. This will also prevent harsh UV rays from entering your home while adding style. Curtains may also work great.
Glass Window Film
A UV protection film is applied to your glass window that blocks 99% of UV rays from passing through. Sunlight passing through your home’s windows can cause discoloration in furniture, carpets, and artwork. Moreover, the UV-filtering system improves the cooling and heating efficiency of your home, diminishes glare, and lowers energy bills.
This is an effective window treatment for your living room with television and offices with computer screens.
LOW-E Window Glass
Low e-window glass have a microscopically thin transparent coating that reflects heat without reducing the amount of light entering your home. The coating can resist the sun’s radiation wavelength while allowing visible light to pass through. The most effective low e-windows block 100% of UV radiation while keeping your furniture, carpeting, and art safe from fading or bleaching effects.
