UV Protection Coating

Shield Your House with UV Protective Glass Coating

Liquid UV protection coatings for windows are a relatively new technology that offer a potential way to block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from entering your home or building. Here’s a breakdown of what we know so far:

Claimed Benefits:

  • UV Protection: The primary benefit is blocking UV rays from sunlight. This can help protect furniture, fabrics, and artwork from fading caused by prolonged sun exposure. Some coatings might also offer some protection for occupants from UV radiation.

Technology:

  • The specific details of these coatings can vary between manufacturers.
  • Some might utilize a clear film-forming polymer that absorbs or reflects UV rays.
  • Others might contain microscopic particles that scatter UV radiation, reducing its transmission through the window.

Current Stage:

  • Liquid UV protection coatings are a developing technology.
  • More research is needed to fully understand their long-term effectiveness and durability.

Limitations to Consider:

  • Limited Information: Since this is a new technology, independent verification of manufacturer claims regarding effectiveness and longevity might be limited.
  • Potential Impact on Visible Light: Some coatings might have a slight impact on the amount of visible light transmitted through the window.
  • Focus on UV Protection: These coatings likely don’t offer significant benefits for heat control or overall energy efficiency.
