Does anyone know of a material, similar to Plexi Glass, that could be used for a window but does not absorb UV light? Regular glass won't work, I am looking for something that will not easily shatter.
nvn said:Maybe someone can answer this better, but my current guess would perhaps be polycarbonate with an ultraviolet light filtering coating, and a scratch-resistant coating.
Fair enough; I wrote in a hurry and should have said: "UV absorbing" or the like.nvn said:Jon Richfield: By "ultraviolet light filtering coating," I meant a coating or layer that blocks or removes greater than 0 % of the ultraviolet (UV) light. If it removes 100 % of the ultraviolet light, then you could refer to it as opaque to UV light, if you wish. But the word "filtering" is not limited to 100 % removal.
Now this is where hurry fooled me again; I thought I was talking to the originator of the query, who in fact was RandomGuy.

UV-resistant window solutions are designed to protect your home from harmful UV rays that can damage furniture, flooring, and other materials. They also help to reduce the heat and glare from the sun, making your home more comfortable.
The cost of UV-resistant window solutions varies depending on the type of solution and the size of your windows. However, in the long run, these solutions can save you money by reducing energy costs and preventing damage to your home's interior.
UV-resistant window solutions work by either reflecting or absorbing UV rays. Some solutions have a special coating that reflects UV rays, while others have a film that absorbs the rays. Both methods help to protect your home from UV damage.
Yes, UV-resistant window solutions can be installed on any type of window, including single-pane, double-pane, and even skylights. They can be custom-fit to the size and shape of your windows for maximum effectiveness.
UV-resistant window solutions do not significantly impact the amount of natural light in your home. They are designed to block UV rays, not visible light. However, some solutions may have a slight tint, which can affect the amount of light entering your home.
