Understanding the Benefits of UV-Protection Glass

Have you noticed the rise in temperatures over the last few years? Summers have become hotter than before. While choosing sustainable options and reducing your carbon footprint are necessary, it is also important to protect yourself from harsh UV rays.

At AIS Glass, we understand that protecting your home and office goes beyond just creating a beautiful space. It’s about safeguarding your well-being as well. Our UV-protection glass solutions are designed to shield you from harmful rays and enhance the comfort of your space.

What is UV-protection Glass?

UV-protection glass is designed to block harmful (infrared) IR and (ultraviolet) UV rays. It is manufactured using advanced technologies that help absorb harmful rays while allowing ample natural light to penetrate. By minimising UV exposure, it helps maintain the right indoor temperature.

This specialised type of glass protects your skin and furniture from damage caused by UV exposure and also maintains a comfortable indoor temperature by reducing the heat that enters the room. With UV-protection glass you can enjoy natural sunlight without harmful effects.

What Makes UV-protection Glass Superior?

UV-protection glass is designed to block up to 99% of UV radiation. However, the amount of heat prevented depends on the tint and the thickness of the glass. With specialised coatings, UV-protected glass can reflect harmful glare and offer multiple benefits.

Benefits of UV-protection Glass

UV-protection glass protects your space from the severe impact of the harsh rays of the sun. Here are some benefits offered by a UV-protected glass.

Restricts the Entry of UV Rays

UV rays are harmful and can have adverse effects like, skin damage and increased risk of skin cancer. Beyond health concerns, it can also affect the aesthetic appeal and longevity of your interiors.

Reduces Glare

This glass can help minimise the harsh glare caused due to direct sunlight. Reduced glare creates a more comfortable and pleasant environment. This is especially beneficial in spaces where screen usage, that is, TV or computers, etc., are frequent as it reduces the strain on the eyes and improves visibility.

Ensures Optimum Energy Efficiency

UV rays can cause rooms to heat up quickly. This leads to higher usage of air conditioners and other cooling systems. However, with UV-protection glass, less heat can enter, allowing your interiors to remain cooler naturally. Thereby, reducing the strain on cooling systems and saving energy.

Moreover, this glass allows an ample amount of daylight to be transmitted indoors. The presence of sufficient light during the day reduces the need for artificial lighting.

The minimum requirement of light and temperature maintenance reduces electricity consumption and energy bills.

Protects Furniture and Furnishings

UV rays are harmful to furniture and furnishings. When exposed to these harsh rays for prolonged periods, they can decolour the furnishings, fade their natural shine and damage their texture.

UV-protected glass can restrict the entry of these rays, protecting the indoors and your valuable decor and electronics.

Offers Health Benefits

Consistent exposure to UV rays can damage your skin. As mentioned earlier, it can also adversely impact your well-being and pose risks like skin cancer, migraines and other skin diseases. Opting for UV-protected glass can minimise the risk of health conditions caused by these rays.

Improved Security

When paired with thick security film, UV-protection glass offers enhanced security. It offers an additional layer of protection against break-ins and unauthorised entries. This combination helps prevent glass from shattering upon impact, hence, giving you peace of mind that your home or office is safeguarded from intruders.

Conclusion

UV-protection glass offers more than just protection; it ensures your space remains comfortable and energy-efficient.

At AIS Glass, we believe in providing solutions that enhance both the aesthetic of your space and contribute to sustainability. Our diverse range of UV-protected glass, including, AIS SUNSHIELD and AIS OPAL help reduce energy, cost and protect your health.

How the AIS Dark Green UV Cut Glass Prepares/Endows Your Car for Indian Conditions

India is a hot country with temperatures averaging 35 to 37 degrees and even crossing 45 degrees in some areas. It is no wonder then that car owners here desire attributes that ensure lesser heat inside the cabin. Apart from the thermal discomfort accentuated in tropical summers, the sunlight also transmits harmful UV radiation which is detrimental for our skin and the cause behind various skin-related disorders. Moreover, high temperatures also put a strain on the engine and battery and impede optimum functionality of the air conditioner.

In its penchant to offer better solutions for Indian conditions, AIS has worked extensively to develop a unique offering called Dark Green UV Cut glass. Apart from reducing the thermal load inside the cabin, it also eliminates the UV radiation by more than 80 percent. It perfectly complies with the Indian regulation for light transmission of 50 percent for side lights and provides a life-long solution, unlike sun-control films which have been banned for use in India.
Here are some product highlights –
1. The dark green glass combination is enabled to cut more than 82% UV rays entering the car, hence protecting people inside the car from a number of harmful skin diseases and ailments including sunburn, premature ageing of the skin, eye damage and skin cancer.
2. Unlike the normal green glass, this glass leads to a drop of close to 2 degrees in cabin temperature.
3. With its ability to curb down the heat accumulating inside the car, this UV protection glass can also reduce the usage of air-conditioning by 10-to-15%. This s decrease the load on the compressor and thereby the engine, which improves fuel efficiency and noticeably lowers your monthly fuel expenses. It helps in decreasing the carbon footprint as there are lesser carbon dioxide emissions.
4. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can tarnish the car’s upholstery besides other things of necessity in the car. With its ability to check the amount of heat getting into the interior of the vehicle, these glasses are better equipped to protect interiors of the car from repeated exposure to high temperatures.
Fully compliant with Indian rules regarding car glass, the Dark Green UV Cut glass is yet another product innovation by AIS that perfectly suits Indian climate.
