This document summarizes the benefits of applying window films in retail spaces. It discusses how films can help control sunlight by reducing heat, glare, and fading. Films also provide year-round energy savings by reflecting heat out in summer and retaining it in winter. A variety of film patterns and colors are available to enhance the visual impact of windows. Finally, films can help mitigate damage by holding shattered glass together and reducing the risk of injury if glass breaks.

Allows light to pass through
windows while screening out
heat and dangerous
ultraviolet rays.

10. Facts About Fading
• All material will fade from sunlight in time.
Fading is inevitable and is the same
whether it is caused by exposure to
intensive sunlight for a short period of
time or a long exposure to weaker
sunlight.
• Severe fading can be minimized with the
use of solar control film.
• Though it cannot be totally eliminated, the
installation of film can dramatically reduce
the damage, enabling most fabrics and
furnishings to look fresh and vibrant for
years to come.
