UV rays do not stop at the window pane. ๐
Even indoors, you are not fully protected from sun exposure. UVA rays in particular can pass through some types of glass and affect both your skin and your interior. In small amounts, UV radiation can support wellbeing, but too much can contribute to skin damage and cause materials like furniture, carpets and curtains to fade over time.
How to protect yourself and your home:
โ๏ธ Use blinds
โ๏ธ Shade rooms with external shutters when the sun is strong
โ๏ธ Do not forget sunscreen
โ๏ธ Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight for long periods
A mindful approach to sunlight, combined with the right VELUX solutions, can help protect both your living spaces and yourself over time.
