Myth #1: "All Curtains Block UV Rays"
Truth: Most standard curtains only block 30-50% of UV radiation. For full protection, you need specially designed UV-resistant fabrics.
Myth #2: "Only Sunny Climates Need UV Protection"
Truth: UV rays penetrate even on cloudy days and through windows without direct sunlight.
Myth #3: "UV Protection Makes Curtains Too Expensive"
Truth: While premium UV-blocking curtains cost more, they save money long-term by:
Extending furniture lifespan (no fading = no replacements)
Reducing AC bills (less heat from UV rays)
How to Choose the Best UV-Blocking Curtains
✔ Look for UPF Ratings (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) – UPF 50+ blocks 98% of UV rays.
✔ Opt for Blackout or Thermal Styles – They naturally have better UV resistance.
✔ Check for Certifications – OEKO-TEX or UV protection labels ensure quality.

❌ NO – If your windows already have UV-filtering films and you don’t have fading issues.
Smart Tip: Pair UV-blocking curtains with window tinting for maximum protection.
