One of the main causes of fading for home furnishings is Ultraviolet (UV) light. Our UV protection window film reduces UV rays by 99.5% whilst still being completely clear and therefore unnoticeable once applied on the glass. At Purlfrost, UV window film can be purchased by the metre in a length and width of your choice, or for ease of installation cut to size.
Read MoreOur UV protection film is by far the best on the market due to its composition. Most UV films are made using a single layer of polyester whereas ours has two layers with UV treatment on both layers, helping block out almost all harmful rays.
There are six factors affecting fabric fading:
Ultraviolet Light is the main cause of fading
Visible Light
Infrared light
Humidity
Chemical Vapours (including ozone)
Age of Fabric
Dye Fastness
No window film can completely eliminate fading. It can, however, offer maximum protection from fading caused by solar ultraviolet light and solar heat.
Our film is widely used by heritage bodies, museums, art galleries and private buyers.
The sun’s harmful UV rays not only cause damage to your household furniture but can also be dangerous for your own health with overexposure potentially causing damage to your skin and eyes. Our UV blocking window film prevents nearly all rays from penetrating, helping keep your eyes and skin safe from the sun.
The UV protection film is applied to the glass simply using a soapy water solution. Please click here to view our video tutorial, showing how to apply large pieces of film. The process is the same for small pieces of film which you will be able to apply single handedly.
Not sure whether this is the right film for your windows? Don’t worry, try before you buy with one of our free 10cm x 10cm samples. The pictures depicting the film are only for illustration purposes, so a sample is recommended to make an educated choice.
If you'd like to try a larger piece before committing to a large order, just order a small amount of film to test on a pane. Our film is easy to apply and removable so you can always change your mind!
We will only accept returns for films purchased by the metre only. Just send it back to us in its original condition and packaging. We cannot accept returns for films cut to size however, as they have no resale value.
You can order the UV film by the meter. However, unlike frosted window film which comes with a paper liner, this film comes with a clear polyester protective liner which has no metric grid printed on it. You'll therefore need a large flat surface, a straight edge and a retractable knife to cut the film to size.
