UV protection film is the cheapest insurance against sun damage to floors, furniture, art, and fabrics. Modern UV films block 99% of UV rays while remaining nearly clear — you can barely see the film is on the window. Penn Shades installs UV protection film for Pittsburgh-area homes and businesses where preserving interiors is the priority.
Signs You Need UV Protection Film
Patches of faded hardwood, carpet, or rug where the afternoon sun hits. Leather furniture cracking or lightening in a specific spot. Photos, prints, or artwork hanging near windows have lost color. You've invested in artwork, antiques, or designer furniture and want to protect them. Your hardwood floor refinish was expensive and you don't want to repeat it.
UV protection film is the right call when sun-fade is the primary problem and you don't need heat reduction or privacy. For combined UV + heat protection, see Solar Control Film. For combined UV + privacy, see Privacy Tinting or Smart Tint.
Our UV Protection Film Options
Within UV protection film we offer multiple clear films from major manufacturers (3M, LLumar, SunTek). All block 99% of UV. The difference between brands is mostly warranty length, clarity (cheap films have a slight haze), and lifespan. Premium films are nearly indistinguishable from clear glass.
Optional anti-glare features can be added for screens-near-windows situations. Pure-UV films don't reduce visible light or heat — they only block UV. Most UV film installs go on existing windows; new construction can have laminated UV glass built in.
UV Protection Film for Pittsburgh Homes & Businesses
Pittsburgh hardwood floors and leather furniture fade faster than people expect — our latitude gives us strong UV exposure. UV protection film is most often installed in homes with hardwood floors (East End, Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Mt. Lebanon, Sewickley) and in homes with significant artwork or antique furniture (Fox Chapel, Sewickley Heights).
We install across Pittsburgh, Moon Township, Coraopolis, Sewickley, Robinson, Carnegie, Bridgeville, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, Wexford, McCandless, Fox Chapel, and surrounding western Pennsylvania communities.
