UVShield 99 Cellular Shades
Museum‑Grade UV Protection
UVShield 99 fabric blocks 99.1% of UVA and UVB radiation, as independently tested to ASTM E903. This exceeds the protection requirements for most museum artifacts and is specified by several major cultural institutions for conservation‑grade window treatments. Fading of standard textile dyes is reduced by approximately 95% compared to unprotected windows.
Fiber‑Integrated Technology
Unlike topical UV coatings that can wear off or migrate, UVShield 99’s absorbers are chemically bonded within the polyester polymer during fiber extrusion. They become part of the material itself, uniformly distributed throughout the fiber cross‑section. The protection is permanent, cannot be washed away or degraded by cleaning, and introduces no color cast to the fabric.
Insulation + UV Protection = Complete Performance
UVShield 99 pairs archival UV filtration with the thermal and acoustic benefits of honeycomb construction. Each ¾‑inch cell traps still air, reducing heat transfer by up to 35% and dampening exterior noise. It is the only shade that simultaneously protects interiors from UV damage, improves energy efficiency, and enhances acoustic comfort.
Clear View, Not Darkened Glass
Many UV‑blocking solutions—films, coatings, tinted glass—introduce visible amber, blue, or mirrored tones. UVShield 99 is optically clear. The fabric looks identical to standard light‑filtering cellular shades, with no perceptible color shift. Your view remains bright and natural; the only difference is what doesn’t fade.
Curated Light‑Neutral Palette
To maximize optical clarity, UVShield 99 is offered in eight light‑neutral colors: Arctic White, Ivory, Oyster, Pearl, Sand, Light Grey, Greige, and Sky. Darker colors are intentionally excluded, as they absorb more visible light and reduce the efficiency of the UV‑blocking technology.
