Did you know that every hour, about two people die in the U.S. from skin cancer? Skin cancer is extremely common and it’s caused by excessive exposure to UV light. Approximately one out of every five U.S. adults develop skin cancer by age 70. While these are frightening statistics, it may be comforting to know that you can significantly reduce your risk by limiting your exposure to UV rays. A great way to start is by installing window film for your Houston home.
What Causes Skin Cancer?
Skin cancer is caused by a combination of genetic factors and environmental exposures, particularly ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. When UV radiation penetrates the skin, it damages the DNA in skin cells, which can lead to mutations that cause the cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming cancerous tumors.
How Window Film Can Help with Skin Cancer Prevention
UV radiation can penetrate through windows in your home. That means, even without going outside, you’re still at risk of being exposed. However, by installing window film for your Houston home, you can significantly reduce your exposure to UV radiation.
Window film works by blocking UV radiation from passing through your windows, without obstructing your view or natural light. This means that you can still enjoy the benefits of natural light without worrying about the harmful effects of UV radiation.
By reducing your exposure to UV radiation, you can lower your risk of developing skin cancer. Window film can be a simple and effective way to protect yourself and your family from the harmful effects of UV radiation, without the need for costly renovations or additions to your home.
