In Denver, preserving historical architecture can be quite a challenge. The city’s high altitude puts historical buildings and structures at risk of fading and heat damage. This is due to the increased intensity of the sun and stronger, more prevalent ultraviolet radiation. That’s what makes 3M window tinting such a smart choice for Denver vintage and historical properties. 3M window tinting blocks out 99.9% of uv radiation and protects historic buildings from the sun as well as the delicate valuables and furnishings inside.
About High Altitude UV Risks & Exposure
Denver experiences on average over 300 sunny days a year. That’s 300 days during which uv radiation and heat are a serious concern. UV rays are the number one cause for fading in furniture, fabrics, flooring, and artwork. And at altitude, the risk of uv exposure becomes even greater. Much of the ultraviolet radiation that comes from the sun is absorbed by Earth’s atmosphere. But at altitude, there’s less distance between the Earth’s surface and the sun, which means that uv radiation is greater in quantity and intensity.
The problem with this higher level of uv radiation is that it can cause serious damage to physical structures. UV radiation is able to pass through most single pane windows. And when it comes into contact with furniture and fabrics, it causes a process called photodegradation. When photodegradation occurs, the molecules that are responsible for visible color are broken down and damaged. The result is a faded or bleached looking appearance.
The Solution? 3M Window Tinting
For historic buildings that contain vintage furniture or antiques, uv exposure becomes even more serious. Because these items often have valuable both monetarily and historically, protecting them is extremely important. And that’s where 3M Window Tinting can help. 3M Window Tinting blocks out 99.9% of uv rays, making it perfect for vintage or historic structures. It’s easy to install and unlike blinds or curtains, 3M window tint doesn’t block out the sun, allowing building interiors to stay bright and welcoming.
