- We installed a UV protectant and heat resistance window tinting. Enhances comfort without the drawback of losing natural light associated with traditional reflective and tinted films. Reduces ultra violet light, which amounts to 40% of the causes of fading in furnishings. Ultraviolet rays, otherwise known as UV rays, can also cause damage to the eyes and skin.
