UV protection & fading
UV is a major cause of fading — but not the only one.
Last reviewed 6 August 2026Technical reviewer: WTC Films Technical Team
A clear UV film blocks up to 99% of ultraviolet light, the single biggest driver of fading in flooring, furniture, artwork and stock — with no change to your view.
But UV is not the only cause. Visible light and heat also fade materials over time, so a UV film reduces rather than eliminates fading. For strongly sun-lit rooms, combine a clear UV film with a solar control film for the best protection.
For galleries, shopfronts and display cases where protection matters most, our Museum UV grade blocks up to 99.5% of UV.
