UVShield 99 Zebra Shades

For collections that matter—fine art, antique furniture, heirloom rugs, and cherished photographs—standard UV protection may not be enough. UVShield 99 Zebra Shades deliver archival-grade ultraviolet filtration, blocking 99% of UVA and UVB radiation while maintaining the adjustable light control and elegant striped aesthetic of premium zebra shades. The UV absorbers are integrated directly into the polyester fibers of both the sheer and opaque bands—permanent, invisible, and guaranteed for the life of the shade. Unlike window films that darken your view or blackout shades that seal you off from the outdoors, UVShield 99 remains beautifully translucent when open, and provides complete privacy when closed. Available in 3-inch band width only, with a curated palette of 8 light-neutral colors. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless wand tilt, continuous cord loop, or motorized operation. Preservation through innovation.

Museum‑Grade UV Protection

UVShield 99 fabric blocks 99.1% of UVA and UVB radiation, independently tested to ASTM E903. This performance 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 – Both Bands

Unlike UV‑blocking shades that treat only the sheer fabric, UVShield 99 integrates UV absorbers into both the sheer and opaque bands. This ensures continuous protection whether the shade is open, partially closed, or fully closed.

The UV absorbers are chemically bonded within the polyester polymer during extrusion, meaning:

  • They cannot wash off

  • They cannot wear away

  • They do not degrade with cleaning

  • They remain uniform throughout the fiber

This is permanent, conservation‑grade UV protection.

Clear View, Not Darkened Glass

Many UV‑blocking solutions—films, coatings, tinted glass—introduce amber, blue, or mirrored color casts. UVShield 99 is optically clear. The fabric looks identical to standard light‑filtering zebra shades, with no discernible color shift. Your view stays bright, natural, and true.

Light‑Neutral Color Palette

To maximize optical clarity, UVShield 99 is offered in eight light‑neutral colors:

Arctic White, Ivory, Oyster, Pearl, Sand, Light Grey, Greige, Sky Blue

Darker colors are intentionally excluded, as they would absorb more visible light and reduce view clarity.

Ideal for Museums, Galleries & Private Collections

UVShield 99 is the preferred choice for:

  • Private art collectors

  • Antique dealers and conservators

  • Rare book libraries

  • Textile preservationists

  • Photography archives

Certification documentation is provided for insurance and appraisal purposes.

Standard Zebra Functionality

Despite its advanced UV technology, UVShield 99 operates exactly like a standard zebra shade:

  • Align the bands for a clear view and soft, filtered light

  • Stagger the bands for complete privacy and 95% light block

The only difference is what doesn’t happen: your valuables don’t fade.
