Wearing sunscreen outdoors is essential for defending your skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Did you know that UV rays can also be of concern inside your home, workplace, and car? Thankfully, there are ways you can prevent skin damage while indoors. Window tinting is a viable solution that allows you to enjoy natural light without harming your skin and eyes.

Why Do You Need Indoor Sun Protection? 

Two types of UV light cause not only skin cancer but also premature aging. Although window glass filters out ultraviolet B light (UVB), the more concerning ultraviolet A light (UVA) is far more penetrative. When the sun’s UVA rays shine through windows, you’re probably less likely to think about its potential to damage to your skin than when spending a day outside in the sun.

You don’t have to hide in dark corners to stay safe from the sun. Window tints reduce not only glare and heat but also exposure to dangerous UVA light, which can cause burning and increase your risk for developing melanoma—skin cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, window tinting can stop the transfer of up to 99.9% of UV light. Installation of UV-blocking tints can be installed by professionals in residential or commercial settings.
