FADING AND BLEACHING OF FLOORS, FURNITURE AND OTHER DECOR
Over the years we have come across some strong misconceptions about the causes of fading. It is usually our customers’ hope that the window tinting we install will prevent the fade of colour in their furniture, flooring, art, and other décor.
Window tinting definately helps to prevent and delay fading, however it cannot block or stop it completely.

The most common myth and misconception about fading is that it is caused completely by ultraviolet light, or UV light. Actually, UV Light is the primary cause of fading, however it is only responsible for 40 percent.
Heat and visible light are the other main contributors to fading. Which is why a Clear UV film or coating simply does not work. In order to acheive the highest levels of fade reduction available you need to have a product that not only has the UV protection but also rejects heat and visible light. |

Solar heat makes up about 25 percent of the cause of fading, and visible light makes up another 25 percent. Tint Pro using quality window film can block some of the solar heat with heat rejection, and the darker the hue of your tint, the more visible light that is cut. Our window tinting can help prevent fading due to all of these factors, depending on the nature of the tint you choose.
Other causes make up the remaining 10 percent, including things like chemical vapours, indoor lighting, poor quality of the dye in your item fabrics, humidity, and so on. Unfortunately, window tinting has no control over these factors.
Our window tinting blocks up to 99 percent of UV light, and it can have an effect on the other factors that make up the remaining 60 percent of the cause of fading. Since window film blocks just about all of the UV light, the tinting helps to maintain the appearance of your fabrics, flooring, furniture, fine art and other decor. Window tinting installed by Tint Pro's expert team members will certainly help to extend the life of your furniture and décor.

When we visit we will assess your requirements and advise with knowledge and professionalism whether this is possible using the large array of quality industry leading products that we purchase. We do not import our own film from China and pass it off as quality with a warranty knowing that there is no manufacturers warranty available, we implore you to remember that price is a good indicator of quality, if it is cheap there is a reason and it is not a good one.

When you purchased your home and your furnishings you did not choose them based on the fact that they were 25% cheaper and would be ok, you did so based on what you liked the look of, the quality of the product, the quality of the manufacturer, the validity of the builder, and only then did you focus on the price so be careful price generally determines quality or lack of it. Avoid nasty removal and replacement expenses.
