As the sun and warm weather FINALLY returns, it’s time to give your windows some TLC with Prestige Sun Control window films from Midwest Solar Control.

When we talk about exposure to UV rays, we generally imagine a situation where we’re actively spending time outside on a hot, sunny day. But there’s actually a number of unsuspecting places where we’re exposed to the sun’s rays without even realizing it. Like sat at your desk at work!

UV Rays at Work

Without realizing it, you could be exposed to the sun’s rays if you work indoors and spend most of your time at your office desk.

If you’re working near a window, chances are you’re exposed to UV rays. The sun emits two types of UV rays that can reach us: UVB rays, which cause sunburns, and UVA rays, which cause premature aging. Both types of radiation are associated with skin cancer. Even though UVB rays are absorbed by glass, up to 75% of UVA rays can penetrate through glass.
