Most people associate a sun burn with red, irratable skin. But just because you don't appear sun-burned, doesn't mean that you are safe from the suns harmful rays. Despite many health organizations' efforts to clarify the difference between UVA and UVB rays, people are still confused and believe they're safe and healthy as long as they don't get a burn or stay outdoors too long.
Most of the glass in our cars, homes and businesses block the suns UVB rays, but still let through harmful UVA rays. Our high performance window films block over 99% of the suns UVA rays while reducing heat gain, glare and fading.
Drivers are particulary vulnerable since we sit so close to the glass in our vehicles. Researchers have noticed that people who spend lots of time in their cars were more likely to develop cancers on their left side.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF:
- Consider having your car's side and rear windows tinted or laminated with a UV-filtering material such as UV film.
- Roll up your car windows -- open windows let in even more UVA rays as well as UVB rays.
- Drive wearing long sleeves.
- Consider using UV film on home or workplace windows. We carry a large selection of heat-blocking, UV resistant window films. In addition to blocking harmful rays, it also helps prevent curtain and upholstery fabrics from fading.
- Wear a sunscreen that blocks both UVB and UVA rays year-round.
- Wear sunglasses with 100% UVA & UVB protection when driving or outdoors. The lens and retina of the eyes are extremely sensitive to sun damage.
