While most of us now know enough to properly protect our skin when we are going to be outside and exposed to the sun, do you ever think about the exposure you are getting while inside your home? The truth is that most glass found in homes does very little to stop the sun’s damaging UV rays from entering. The risks are exactly the same for being exposed to these rays inside your home as they are when you are outside and that is the reason that home window films have received The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation.
In fact, in an article on The Skin Cancer Foundation Website, Perry Robins, MD, President of The Skin Cancer Foundation, had the following to say:
“To see the damage that untreated glass can do, take a close look at the furnishings in your home that are hit by direct sunlight. If the sun has faded the color of your sofa, it can just as easily damage your skin when you sit there.”
With about 85 percent of melanomas and 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers being associated with exposure to UV radiation, it is important that you take steps to protect your skin whenever possible. Home window films can be install on any window in your home and block 99% and greater of the UV from ever entering your home. In addition, these films come in a variety of shades so that they fit with nearly any decor or can practically be invisible on your glass.
