Faded floors and art
ThermaCore UV: a near-clear UV film
ThermaCore UV is a near-clear film focused on ultraviolet (UV) light, for rooms with floors, furniture or art that fade in the sun.
Special order
- UV is a major cause of fading
- Floors and furniture take the hit
- Helps slow fading of floors, art and fabric
- Nearly clear
- Used where light damage matters
- UV is only part of the picture
What a UV film does
UV is the part of sunlight we cannot see, and it is one of the causes of fading. A UV film carries absorbers that hold back ultraviolet light while keeping the glass close to clear.
Fading also comes from visible light and heat, so a UV film helps but cannot stop it completely.
Where it fits
Floors and furniture
Rooms where color fades over time.
Art and displays
Pictures, prints and collections.
Near-clear look
Keeps the look of your glass.
Sunny rooms
Rooms with direct sun for hours.
Inside the film
Not to scale. Layers differ by manufacturer.
How we handle it
- Tell us what fades. Floors, furniture, art or displays.
- Glass check. We confirm the film suits your glass.
- Spec sheet and quote. You see the facts for the exact film.
Not the best fit for
- Rooms where heat is the main problem, where ThermaCore Nano-Ceramic fits better.
Good to know
- No film stops fading completely, because visible light and heat also play a part.
- Near-clear means a very light look, not a change to your view.
Exact specifications are on the spec sheet we share with your quote. The warranty length is named on your quote; see our warranty page.

How it is made
Inside a ThermaCore UV film
UV film carries ultraviolet absorbers in the polyester or adhesive layers. These block most UV rays, which are a major cause of fading, while the film itself stays nearly clear.
Window film starts as optical-grade polyester (PET), a clear plastic made in very thin, even sheets. Coatings are added in layers: dyes or ceramic particles, thin metal or metal-oxide layers applied in vacuum chambers, and a scratch-resistant hard coat. A pressure-sensitive adhesive and a protective liner go on the other side. The layers are laminated and cured, then slit into rolls and checked for clarity, coating evenness and defects before they ship.
Specs to ask for
Numbers that matter when you compare
Visible light
VLT is the share of visible light that passes through. Higher is clearer and brighter. Ask for the UV rejection percentage on the maker datasheet and whether it is measured at a stated wavelength range.
Total solar energy rejected
TSER shows how much of the sun’s total energy the film blocks, including heat. UV film does not remove all fading. Heat and visible light also contribute.
UV rejection
The share of ultraviolet rays blocked, which affects fading of floors, furniture and art.
Solar heat gain
Lower SHGC means less solar heat enters the room. It applies to the whole window, so ask for the film-on-glass value.
Glass compatibility
Film suits some glass better than others. We check your glass type and any maker restrictions before we quote.
What is covered
Ask for the film maker’s warranty and ours, including what each covers and for how long.
Exact figures come from the maker datasheet for the film we quote. We send the datasheet with your quote. Ask us and we will explain any number.
After install
Looking after it
Soft cloth, mild soap and a little patience in the first weeks keep this film clear for years.
Questions
Will a UV film stop all fading?
No. It helps, but visible light and heat also cause fading.
Will you check my glass first?
Yes. Glass type matters, so we confirm the film suits your windows before we quote. If a film is not right for a window, we will say so.
Where do I find the exact specifications?
The manufacturer’s specification sheet for the exact film comes with your quote. We do not publish performance figures on this page, because they differ from roll to roll.
What does the warranty cover?
The warranty length is named on your quote. See our warranty page for the draft terms.
Will it stop fading completely?
No. UV is a major cause of fading, but visible light and heat also play a part.
Is it clear?
Most UV-only film is nearly clear. Samples show the exact look.
