Why Window Film Makes You Healthier and Why You Need to Know

Maybe in the past you’d always thought of window film as a luxury, or something for people with too much money. But what if window film improved your health?

Here’s how the sun and UV cause cancer from Cancer Research UK.

UV Rays Travel Through Clouds

While you might not get quite as many UV rays on cloudy days, UV rays do indeed travel through clouds. So fog won’t protect you, people of San Francisco! Take a look at these Six Common Sun Myths, Exposed, by CNN. 80% of the sun’s rays travel through clouds, which is why you’ll still get burnt on a cloudy day unless you take steps to protect yourself! And 80% is a B (not for you, but for those sneaky UV rays!).
