What is UV Radiation?
UV radiation, a natural energy from the sun, is invisible to the human eye due to its shorter wavelengths compared to visible light. While your eyes cannot perceive UV light, your skin can sense it. Tanning beds also emit UV radiation.
There are two types of UV light linked to skin cancer risk:
- Ultraviolet A (UVA), with a longer wavelength, is linked to skin aging.
- Ultraviolet B (UVB), with a shorter wavelength, is linked to skin burning.
Both UVA and UVB rays can harm the skin by damaging DNA in skin cells, leading to genetic defects that may cause skin cancer and premature aging. Additionally, UV rays can result in eye damage, such as cataracts and eyelid cancers.
UV radiation is a known human carcinogen, contributing to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). These cancers typically appear on sun-exposed skin areas but are treatable when detected early.
Excessive UV exposure causing sunburn significantly increases the risk of melanoma, a severe form of skin cancer. Studies indicate that UV rays damaging the skin can affect a gene that suppresses tumors, elevating the likelihood of sun-damaged skin cells developing into cancer.
UV Radiation and Your Health
The Archives of Dermatology reports that approximately 90% of all skin cancers are linked to harmful UV radiation from the sun. Research from the National Institute of Health reveals that UV rays can lead to issues like impaired wound healing, and DNA damage, and contribute to 80% of visible signs of facial aging. Maxpro Window Films provides a cost-effective solution by blocking 99% of the sun’s UV rays, offering protection for your family and preserving your belongings.
Block UV Rays to protect items in your home that receive direct sunlight.
Extended exposure to the sun can fade and degrade furniture, artwork, flooring, and costly window treatments over time. However, even more concerning is the heightened risk of skin cancer and premature skin aging due to harmful UV rays penetrating your home’s windows. Maxpro Window Films now offers a simple and cost-effective solution to safeguard your furniture and loved ones from the sun’s harmful effects. This allows you to bask in the beauty and brightness of natural sunlight without any worries.
Fade Protection
Constant exposure to sunlight causes furnishings and memorabilia to fade. The primary reason for this fading is UV rays. Additionally, solar heat warms fabrics and surfaces
consistently, leading to quicker degradation and discoloration. Visible light exposure can also contribute to the fading process.
