Did you know that July is UV Safety Awareness Month? During this month, many organizations are committed to raising awareness of skin cancer and promoting ways for people to stay healthy and productive. Belk Builders wants to take this initiative one step further by informing homeowners about the importance of protecting their homes from the damage UV rays can inflict. Just like the year round protection of your skin from sun exposure is important, so is the protection of your home’s interior. The use of high quality, energy star rated windows is your home’s best defense against the sun’s harmful rays, while also improving its energy efficiency.
Your most cherished family photos, children’s artwork, draperies, furnishings and even your flooring can fade or discolor after repeated exposure to direct sunlight. When cheap, non-energy star rated or non-LOW E windows are used on a home, the negative effects of UV light are limitless. Most Low-E coatings, the same coatings that keep out the summer heat, can reduce fading by up to 75 percent. These coatings act like sunscreen for your house, blocking damaging ultraviolet rays without noticeably reducing visible light.

Windows shield the inside of your home from summer heat, winter chills and the loss of costly energy…but did you know that they should also guard your valuables against the silent thief often referred to as UV light? Whether their value is monetary or sentimental, you want to protect your belongings from fading and discoloring. Belk Builders can help you safeguard the valuable interior of your home by installing LOW E — Energy Star Rated replacement windows, which protect the interior of your home and all the precious things within, from the ravages of UV light.
This summer, has the atmosphere of some of your rooms felt stifling? Perhaps your windows are the culprit. Builder grade double-paned, clear-glass windows allow approximately 75 percent of the sun’s heat into your home. Most ENERGY STAR qualified windows transfer much less heat, typically without reducing visible light. You get the light you need without the uncomfortable heat.
