There are 3 types of UV Rays:

1. UV-A Rays: UV-A rays have the longest energy wavelength and have the ability to penetrate the skin. These rays are considered one of the primary causes of skin aging.
2. UV-B Rays: A percentage of UV-B rays are filtered out by the earth's atmosphere and ozone layers. These rays often cause sunburn when the skin is overexposed.
3. UV-C Rays: The earth's atmosphere and ozone layers
filter out all UV-C radiation below 290 nanometers.
When UV Rays strike glass
When UV rays strike an untreated piece of glass, roughly 67% of the radiant energy will pass through. The addition of window film will add substantial protection from these harmful UV rays. Most window films will block as much as 99% of Ultraviolet radiation from entering a window.
As discussed, UV rays can be harmful to the human skin. They can also cause serious fading to many indoor objects in homes, offices and automobiles. By blocking a majority of UV radiation, window film can play a major role in helping to protect skin from the effects of aging and skin cancer, while prolonging the life of valuable fabrics and furnishings.
