Will Window Tint Stop My Furnishings From Fading?

There are six factors affecting fabric fading:

• Ultraviolet Light
• Visible Light
• Heat and Humidity
• Chemical Vapors (including ozone)
• Age of Fabric
• Dye Fastness

As a general rule of thumb, ultra violet (UV) is approximately 40% of the cause, visible light is about 25%, and heat about 25%. The remaining 10% can be attributed to humidity, pollutants, interior lights, dye stability, and more.

SO, while nothing completely stops fading, Window Tinting is designed to help reduce the major causes of fading (ultra violet light, visible light, and solar heat), thus prolonging the life of your furnishings, perhaps as much as two to five times.
