Protecting Your Family From Dangerous UV Rays

Are you protected from UV in our home?

By now most people are aware that prolonged exposure to sunlight can lead to skin cancer. But what most people don’t realize is that being inside your home doesn’t mean you are protected from the sun’s rays. In fact, untreated glass does very little to protect your skin from cancer causing UV rays.

3M™ Window Films block up to 99% of the sun’s destructive UV rays.

Adding 3M Window Films to the glass in your home is an excellent way to protect your family. Our films are designed to filter out both UVA and UVB rays. They come in clear or in a variety of shades and colors so there is certain to be a film that’s just right for you.

Other steps to prevent skin cancer

• Wear SPF 15 or greater sunscreen when outside in the sun.
• Wear protective clothing: a long sleeved shirt, wide brimmed hat and sunglasses.
• Avoid the sun during mid-day hours.
• Stay in the shade as much as possible.

Trust 3M.

When it comes to protecting your family, you want to deal with a company you can trust. No one has more experience with window film. In 1996, we received the first patent for window film. Today there are millions of square feet of 3M Window Films installed all around the world.

The Skin Cancer Foundation recently awarded its “Seal of Recommendation” to twelve 3M window film products as effective UV protectants. These products, when applied to windows in vehicles and homes, block up to 99% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays and help to reduce the risk of sun-induced damage to the skin, including sunburn, premature aging and skin cancer.
