Your home is your happy place, and you’ve worked hard to fill it with the people and things you love. While you consider the many different ways you can keep your home and family safe, don’t forget about the sun! The threat of harmful UV rays is real – your family and belongings are at risk for damage every day the sun shines. What can you do to prevent this? Read on! The sun is relentless. While you’re enjoying a bright, warm, sun-drenched home the sun is working silently to damage your furnishings. Your leather couch, wood floors, expensive artwork, and more are constantly being blasted with harmful rays that can fade and discolor them. Don’t settle for bulky window treatments that darken the room, making you feel closed invest in window film! Window film will deflect heat, enhance your view, increase the efficiency of your windows, and block up to 99.9% of the damaging UV rays plaguing your home as we speak. Ask your local Genie to explain his or her fading chart during your free estimate Window Genie offers a variety of window films sure to fit your home’s needs and budget.
More importantly, in addition to harming your furnishings, the sun can damage your family’s skin! You may equate the term “carcinogens” to things like chemicals, pollutants, or even fake sugar. But did you know, that UV radiation from our very own sun is a proven human carcinogen? Fun in the sun? Yeah right! Sun damage is much more than early wrinkles and dry skin. The sun is the leading cause of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. So deadly in fact, that according to skincancer.org, one person dies of melanoma every hour. There are plenty of ways to protect yourself. Wearing protective clothing or a daily sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher significantly reduces sun damage but you shouldn’t just think to protect yourself while you’re outdoors! The sun can damage your skin when you least expect it, like when you’re washing dishes in front of the kitchen window or reading a book on your four-season porch.
UV rays make up only a marginal portion of the sun’s rays, which explains why sun exposure has dichotomous effects on the human body. You need sunlight for vitamin D and healthy skin, and yet it is a leading cause of skin cancer; how do you get the good without the bad?
