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.
