It’s no secret that UV from the sun causes damage to your skin and eyes, leading to premature aging, fading, and increased risk of skin cancer and cataracts. This is why our mothers always used to yell at us to “put on sunscreen,” before leaving the house for the beach, pool, or anywhere outside during the summer. But while many of us take precautions outdoors—wearing sunscreen, UV-blocking sunglasses, and protective clothing—what about when we’re driving during our morning commute or relaxing at home on a sunny weekend afternoon? UV rays can reach us in those everyday locations as well, contributing to skin damage. Learn how Tom took action to protect himself by installing UV protection window film on his car and home.

Tom’s Story: How UV Protection Window Film Changed His Life

Tom R, a resident of the greater Baltimore, MD area, was diagnosed with skin cancer several years before he contacted me. His diagnosis limited him in many ways and he was no longer able to enjoy the warm rays of the sun or engage in outdoor activities.

Automotive UV Protection

One day, Tom reached out requesting one of our premium UV protection window films, 3M Crystalline. I’m a curious business owner, so I ask him what drew him to this product. His answer was straightforward; he’d researched and found it to be among the very best at blocking harmful UV and infrared rays. “That it is, Tom. Come on in and let’s get started,” was my reply. So soon after our phone call, my team of window film experts installed Crystalline on his truck per his request. Tom would accept no substitute – he wanted the absolute best!

Residential UV Protection

After experiencing the benefits firsthand, Tom contacted me again—this time about residential UV protection window film. He invited me to his home in Baltimore to discuss his needs. Prior to meeting him at his house, I was unaware of his skin condition that prevented him from being exposed to direct sunlight. Upon arriving, I noticed blackout curtains covering every single window. As Tom and his wife explained his severe skin condition, it became clear how drastically it had affected their daily life and emotional well-being.

They shared how difficult it was for Tom to sit at home without natural light, unable to safely open curtains and enjoy the view he’d worked so hard to achieve. The emotional toll of constant darkness inside their home was significant, motivating Tom to find a better solution. Understanding their situation, we installed 3M Night Vision UV protection window film throughout their Baltimore home.
This installation not only protected Tom from UV exposure but also transformed their quality of life. Natural sunlight now gently fills their home without the fear of harmful rays, enabling Tom to reclaim the simple pleasures of viewing his garden, neighborhood, and the outdoors again—without fear.

The Benefits of UV Protection Window Film

3M films, backed by a lifetime residential warranty, reject 99% of UV and as much as 79% of the total solar energy! This was excellent news for Tom, who chose comprehensive coverage for his entire home. Following the installation process, Tom experienced significant improvements in comfort and lifestyle. He was finally able to open his blinds and reconnect with the outside world, enjoying natural sunlight flooding into rooms that once felt dark and restrictive. Additionally, the UV protection window film extended protection to his furniture and belongings, significantly reducing fading—up to 40% of which is typically caused by UV rays.

With 3M films installed in his home and truck, Tom now enjoys greater peace of mind during his daily commute and relaxing at home. Personally, being able to positively impact Tom’s life in this meaningful way has been profoundly rewarding. It deepened my pride in offering expert window film solutions, truly seeing how this technology can make a genuine difference in people’s lives.
