Sunlight. Some people can’t get enough of it. Others worry about the harmful effects of the star our planet orbits. Aside from the health risks, sunlight also causes textiles to lose their color over time. Many are aware of this when it comes to clothing. But did you know that you can also protect your furniture, curtains, and carpets from the sun? That’s right! The solution is as simple as it is brilliant: window film.
Why do colors fade in the sun?
UV radiation is responsible for the fading effect. More specifically, the radiation causes the dyes in textiles to oxidize. Over time, this leads to fading and a loss of color intensity.
Did you know? In some cases, this chemical reaction is even intentionally used to lighten textiles: white laundry is laid out in the sun and kept moist. The UV radiation then produces hydrogen peroxide – a powerful bleaching agent.
