Yes - completely clear film blocks the same 99% of UV as a dark one. UV rejection comes from the way the film is engineered, not from how tinted it looks, so you protect your floors and furniture without changing how your windows look at all.

It dramatically slows fading, but nothing stops it completely. UV is the single biggest cause - so blocking 99% of it makes the largest difference - but heat and visible light contribute smaller amounts too. Think of it as taking colour loss from fast to very slow, which for hardwood and art is the difference of many years.

No. If UV and fading are your only concern, the clearest films - like Clear View Plus 70 - are perfect: invisible on the glass, 99% UV blocked. You'd only step up to a tinted or reflective film if you also wanted heat, glare, or privacy control.

The treated glass blocks 99% of UVA and UVB coming through it, which many sun-sensitive people notice by the sunniest windows. It's a genuine reduction in indoor UV exposure - just not a replacement for sunscreen outdoors, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Yes, and it surprises people. Low winter sun reflecting off fresh snow drives UV through south- and west-facing glass just like summer does - so a floor by the window keeps fading in February. UV protection here is a four-season upgrade, not a summer one.

Professionally installed VISION film routinely performs for well over a decade, and the UV rejection doesn't wear off with normal use. Every install is backed by XPEL's manufacturer warranty, which we register for you so the coverage is on file from day one.
