Fade Control

Modern living room with large windows and lots of natural light

Reduce the damaging effect of FADING!

It’s not unusual for carpets and furniture to lose color over time, especially when they’re exposed to sunlight. Sun fading, specifically, is a pesky form of oxidation that most often occurs near windows. That’s where Pacific Window Tinting comes in: we offer residential fade control options for every home, helping you protect and enhance the life of your furniture.

Color fading is so subtle that it sneaks up on you. A little fading over time each day and before you know it, the color has almost completely faded away. You sometimes won’t even notice it until you move a piece of furniture and realize how much color has faded in the sun.

This can be costly to repair. Fading is caused by a number of factors but thankfully, the damaging effects can be controlled with preemptive measures.

We provide award winning graphics and window tinting.

In order to prevent fading, we have to take a look at the cause of it. The largest single cause of fading is ultraviolet light rays from the sun. Pacific Window tinting utilizes Panorama solar film, which blocks 99% of ultraviolet rays — virtually eliminating fading damage to the interior of your home!

With a one-time purchase and installation, your home can be set for years to come. Our team of dedicated professionals will work with you to determine which method and tint level are right for your home and needs, ensuring that you get the best bang for your buck.

The Benefits Of Window Tinting

Window tinting provides a host of benefits beyond preventing and reducing color fading.

  • Reduces fading in carpets and furniture
  • Saves money on energy costs
  • Rejects heat
  • Balances out the temperature
  • Reduces glare
  • Improves the look and comfort of your home or office
  • Adds a measure of privacy, safety, and security to your home or office
  • Enhances windows views

While nothing can prevent fading entirely, Pacific Window Tinting can help keep the interior of your home looking fresh and new. Plus, modern residential films are so light in color, you’ll hardly notice they’re there! This means you can have the protection you deserve without creating an eyesore.

How To Prevent Fading

Some of the things that can be damaged by sun exposure are hardwood floors, wood cabinets, carpet, decorator rugs, upholstered furniture, paintings, photographs, draperies — even your child’s precious artwork. Fading due to UV light is almost impossible to prevent without some sort of protective film. One can attempt to block out any visible light by shutting blinds, but that comes at the expense of any natural light you might have had.

In order to prevent fading as much as possible, the best option is to invest in our fade control solutions to help protect your treasured goods from harmful UV rays. You spend a lot of time and money decorating your home, and Panorama window film can help keep that investment looking new.

As the diagram shows, fading is usually caused by several factors, often acting in conjunction with one another, including light (both visible and ultraviolet, and solar energy).

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes furniture and flooring to fade near windows?
Most fading happens because of ultraviolet (UV) light. Over time, UV rays break down the dyes and fibers in carpet, upholstery, and wood finishes. Visible light and heat also contribute, but UV exposure is the number-one culprit—which is why professional window film makes such a big difference.

How does window film prevent fading?
Pacific Window Tinting installs Panorama® solar films that block up to 99% of UV rays, reducing the primary cause of fading. These films also minimize heat and glare, helping slow oxidation and color loss so your furniture, artwork, and floors look newer, longer.

Will window tint make my home darker?
Not at all. Today’s fade-control films are designed to be nearly invisible while still filtering harmful rays. You’ll keep your natural light and views without sacrificing protection—most homeowners forget the film is even there.

Can window film protect hardwood floors and artwork too?
Yes. UV-blocking film protects virtually any surface inside your home that’s exposed to sunlight—wood floors, cabinets, photos, paintings, even rugs. Installing film is far more effective than closing blinds or curtains because it works continuously without reducing brightness.

Do I need to apply fade-control film to every window?
Not necessarily. Our team can help you identify high-exposure areas—usually large south- or west-facing windows—and recommend the right film type and coverage. That way, you get the best protection where it matters most while keeping costs reasonable.

We used Pacific Window tinting for both a tint and a security film on two buildings. They came out and had us a quote very quickly and when we were ready to move forward they got us scheduled very quickly. The team that came out was wonderful to work with. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Overall we are very happy with our experience and will use them again if needed. I highly recommend them.

For over a year we had been deciding what to do with some of our upper level windows. We get a strong sunset that can be blinding for about half of the year. We reached out to Jared and his team at Pacific Window Tinting, he provided us with several samples and assessed our need as well as our budget, he made a couple of recommendations to meet our needs. He delivered an excellent product, in a short period of time at great prices while ensuring excellent customer service. We are finally able to enjoy the beautiful sunshine while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the architecture. Highly recommended.

Our waiting room at our clinic was much hotter than the rest of our clinic so we consulted with the owner, he gave some great suggestions and in a week or so we had the front windows and doors tinted, took a few hours, now it is much cooler! My front desk staff does not feel hot nor do patients in my waiting room. Thank you!
