Protect Your Family From The Harmful Rays Of The Intense Denver Sun With Window Tinting
How Window Tinting Keeps Your Family Safe From The Harmful Rays Of The Sun With SPF 1000
When it comes to keeping your family safe from the harmful rays of the sun here in Denver–it can be tough. As you probably know, the sun shines here in Colorado 300 days a year and most of us know sunglasses and sunscreen are a necessity. But have you ever considered the UV rays you are getting in your house? If you have not, you really need to since more and more studies are showing that people in their homes are not as protected at all from the sun and in fact, windows can magnify those rays. Also, as our atmosphere is slowly slipping away, our protection from the sun is also being diminished. This means sun protection in your Denver home is more important than ever before. At Scottish Window Tintings we often talk about how our window tints are an SPF 1000–giving you 99.9% protection from the UV, UVB and UVA rays of the sun. So we thought it fitting to speak to what this number is based on below.
How SPF 1000 For Window Tinting Is Calculated
When we speak of 1000 SPF from window tinting, how it is calculated is important and further shows why window tinting is so effective. SPF protection numbers are based on biological tests done on human skin. It is essentially, a measure of how long it takes untreated skin to burn– so it is actually UVB based because UVA is not something that causes sunburns to skin. Essentially the calculation expresses much longer one can be exposed to the sun without burning. Since window tinting allows in so little actual sun, the number equivalent for SPF from window film is very, very high–because there only .01 of the sun’s rays actually working on your skin. With that consideration it can be calculated that– With 1.5% UV transmission, the SPF would be 66.66. With a UV transmission of 2%, the SPF would be 50. Finally, a window tint with a 99.9% UV block, like the ones we carry at Scottish Window Tinting would have an SPF of 1000 or more. (Simply divide 100 by the percentage of UV transmission and you would have the SPF number.)
