UVShield UV Blocking Cellular Shades

UV radiation is the invisible enemy of fine interiors. It fades fabrics, bleaches wood, embrittles leather, and degrades artwork—often before the damage is even visible. UVShield UV Blocking Cellular Shades are engineered specifically to combat this threat, blocking 88% to 99% of harmful UV rays while preserving the clarity and brightness of your view. Unlike window films that darken the glass or blackout shades that eliminate light entirely, UVShield works invisibly: UV inhibitors are integrated directly into the polyester fibers, absorbing radiation before it can reach your room. Your investment in flooring, furniture, and art is protected, yet your window retains its beauty and transparency. And because these are cellular shades, you also get the added benefits of thermal insulation and noise reduction. Available in ¾-inch and 1⅛-inch single-cell configurations, with your choice of UVShield 88 or UVShield 99 technology. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions. See the view, not the UV.

Two Levels of UV Protection

  • UVShield 88 — Blocks 88% of UVA and UVB radiation. Reduces fading by approximately 80% compared to unprotected windows. Ideal for most residential applications.

  • UVShield 99 — Blocks 99% of UV radiation. Archival‑grade protection for museums, galleries, and fine‑art collections. Reduces fading by approximately 95%.

Both technologies are integrated into the fiber during extrusion—not applied as topical coatings—and are guaranteed for the life of the shade.

Fiber‑Integrated Technology

Unlike topical UV coatings that can wear off, migrate, or discolor, UVShield’s absorbers are chemically bonded within the polyester polymer during fiber extrusion. The protection is uniform throughout the fiber cross‑section, meaning:

  • It is permanent and cannot wash off

  • It will not degrade with cleaning

  • It introduces no color cast to the fabric

  • It maintains full performance for the life of the shade

Insulation + UV Protection = Complete Performance

UVShield combines archival‑grade UV filtration with the thermal and acoustic benefits of honeycomb construction. Each cell traps still air, reducing heat transfer by up to 35% and softening external noise. It’s the only shade that simultaneously:

  • Protects interiors from UV damage

  • Reduces energy consumption

  • Improves acoustic comfort

Clear View, Not Darkened Glass

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

Available in Light Neutrals Only (UVShield 99)

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

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

UVShield 88 is available in the full palette of 30+ colors.

Documentation for Insurance & Appraisals

Every UVShield order includes a certificate of UV protection documenting the tested performance of the specific fabric installed. This documentation can be submitted to insurers, conservators, and appraisers to verify that appropriate preservation measures are in place.
