Collections of exhibits from the past are incredibly interesting! They can give us as insight into how our ancestors lived, or show us how times have changed and people have evolved. It can be very difficult to keep valued possessions at their best. Naturally, there are historic artefacts such as paintings in art galleries and pieces kept in museums which, when kept in pristine condition, will increase in value. Additionally, some of us have collections of antiques in small shops or even at home which must be kept in the best possible condition in order to maintain both their look and their value. One of the ways that valued pieces can become damaged is through sunlight. Damaging UV rays through windows can cause fading and deterioration of art, furniture and other value items. For this reason, many galleries and museums do not have many windows or those they have are covered over. Is there a better answer?

Simple solar reduction

Daylight is important in retail stores, in galleries where natural light is needed to appreciate the pieces, and similarly in museums and showrooms. However, the issue arises when there is a stream of natural light through windows without a restriction on UV rays – not only can this cause an increase in heat in the building and items and people within it, not great for anywhere that people are taking a relaxing wander to enjoy what is on show, but will also cause irreparable damage to art, exhibits, furniture and fixings. But with HDClear, museums, galleries, antique stores and boutiques can preserve their valued pieces while allowing light to enter. The innovative HDSolar window film can reduce up to 99% UV and 16% total solar reduction – an outstanding result for a custom printed film. Versatile, with the ability to be printed in a range of custom designs from frosted to colors and fades, HDClear have the ideal film to keep your valued possessions valuable!
