The cost of goods has gone up in the last few years, and things have been in short supply. This has made homeowners try harder than ever before to conserve the furnishings they already have. One of these types of furnishings is upholstered chairs, sofas, and couches.

The primary way upholstery is ruined is through fading. Fading is caused by UV rays. The sun’s energy will ruin nearly any surface exposed to it: rugs, floors, and artwork. Therefore, the best way to stop or slow upholstery from fading is by having windows film installed on your Beverly Hills home. Read more about how UV blocking window films work to protect upholstered furniture.

How UV Window Film Works to Reduce Upholstery Fading

In the past, people used curtains or blinds to block UV rays from coming into their homes. This method is somewhat effective. But there are a few problems with curtains and blinds. For one, they block out natural light. Window film, on the other hand, allows in plenty of natural light. The other issue is that sunlight can still shine through curtains and blinds and lead to fading. With window film, 99.9% of the sun’s harmful rays are blocked at the window. So upholstery is much more protected by modern window film technology than it is with outdated curtains or blinds. Plus, window film comes with many more benefits.

Additional Benefits of UV Blocking Window Film for Beverly Hills Homes

As mentioned, window films block up to 99.9% of UV rays keeping upholstery protected from the harsh sun in Beverly Hills. However, many films also block the transfer of heat from the sun–up to 80% in some cases. It also adds a layer of safety and security to city homes. That’s right, broken glass will stay adhered to window film after being struck. This keeps your home more protected against break-ins and severe weather. Finally, UV blocking window film lowers energy bills.

It has an ROI of as little as 3 years, and after that, it actually puts money back in your pocket. All of these benefits, plus the superior protection for home upholstery, artwork, and hardwood furnishings, make it an excellent investment for any Beverly Hills home.
