Will Window Film Stop My Floors and Furniture From Fading?

How much window film reduces fading on floors, rugs, art and furniture, and why no film stops fading completely.

Window film removes the biggest cause of fading, but no film stops fading completely. Anyone who promises that is overselling.

What causes fading

Fading comes from three things: ultraviolet light, visible light and heat. UV is the biggest single cause, but it is not the only one.

What film does about it

  • UV: every residential film we install blocks 99% of UV light.
  • Visible light: darker films cut more of it, which slows fading further.
  • Heat: films that reject more solar heat help too.

We have seen film stop fading on customers' art, hardwood floors, carpets, rugs and furniture. The best results come from pairing strong UV protection with a film that also cuts some of the light, like DR OptiTune.

If you want to keep the view clear

If you don't want the glass to look tinted, our premium SPe Lite 70 is virtually clear and still blocks 99% of UV. For valuable art near sunny windows, a darker film adds more protection.
