Ultraviolet Rays...The "Invisible Enemy"
Ultraviolet light, entering the home as sunlight, damages furnishings. In time it fades wood floors, furniture, upholstery, draperies, carpeting and artwork. Prolonged exposure to sunlight causes natural, undyed fabrics to turn yellow, weakening their fibers and making them look old and worn prematurely.
| Note: |
The addition of the PowerRise®, PowerGlide® or PowerTilt™ battery operated remote control systems to products does not alter the level of ultraviolet protection. |
|
Your Best Defense
The right window covering can be very effective in blocking ultraviolet rays. Such effectiveness is measured in terms of a "% UV blockage" rating. The higher the rating, the greater the UV protection.
The chart on this and the following page rates the entire line of Hunter Douglas window fashions as to their effectiveness in blocking ultraviolet light rays through double-glazed windows. To fully minimize the amount of these harmful rays from entering the home, choose a product with a 99% UV blockage rating.
