What causes fading? How much will fading be reduced with window films?
Fading of furniture or artwork is caused by UV rays, heat, visible light, indoor artificial lighting, humidity, and the quality of the dye in the fabric. There is general agreement that UV light causes more damage to fabrics than any other single factor. Most Gila films block in the neighborhood of 96-99% of the UV, which means that, while Gila films cannot completely prevent fading, it can help reduce it.
