AVOID EXPOSURE TO SUN's DANGEROUS UV-A RAYS HARMING YOUR EYES & SKIN When driving, you're exposed to the sun's ultraviolet A (UV-A) rays, which can harm your eyes and skin. The UV-A rays can cause cataracts and skin cancer. A study was done to determine how much UV-A light gets through the front windshields and side windows of cars. They found that the front windshield blocked 96% of the UV-A rays, but the side windows only blocked 71%. This means that if you're sitting on the driver's side, you get 25% more UV-A rays than sitting in front of the windshield. This can increase your risk of getting cataracts in your left eye or skin cancer on the left side of your face. The study suggests that car manufacturers should make side windows that block more UV-A rays to keep drivers safe. However, it is also important to note that even with the UV-A protection on the side windows, it is still recommended to use car window sunshades on the side windows all year, especially from the end of winter through the end of autumn, to ensure maximum protection. It is also important to remember that UV-A rays are not blocked by clouds or rain, so even on a cloudy day, you still need to protect yourself from the sun's rays. So, whether you're driving on a sunny or cloudy day, it's important to take precautions to protect your skin and eyes from UV-A rays. Car window sunshades made of black elastic mesh can help reduce the UVA radiation that reaches the person sitting in the back seat by blocking a significant portion of the light that would otherwise pass through the car window. The exact amount of reduction will depend on the specific sunshade and the type of car window it is used on, but studies have shown that mesh shades can block up to 95% of UVA and UVB rays. When compared to tinted car windows, mesh sunshades offer several advantages. Tinted windows can reduce the amount of UVA radiation that enters the car, but the level of protection can vary depending on the type and quality of the tinting. Some tints may only block a small amount of UVA, while others may block a significant portion. Additionally, some states have laws regulating the amount of tint that can be applied to car windows, which can limit the level of protection offered by tinting. Mesh sunshades, on the other hand, can be easily applied and removed as needed and do not require any permanent changes to the car. They also provide protection from other types of light, such as visible light, which can cause glare and discomfort while driving. In general, car window sunshades made of elastic black mesh can effectively reduce the amount of UVA radiation that reaches the person sitting on the back seat, and can be a good addition to the protection provided by tinted windows. (We will be posting proof of UVA reduction with our Qualizzi Car Window Screens in brief, stay tuned!) Why should i use car window sunshades made of mesh, what are the benefits? Mesh screens offer many benefits, such as privacy, UV protection, less heat, and airflow. They allow for better visibility than other sunshades and offer protection from insects, making them ideal for camping trips or other outdoor activities. Which car sun shades should I use? The sock style sun shades are the ones that offer best protection to sun, heat, UVA and bugs, as they cover fully the windows which can be rolled down without having to remove the shades to let the fresh air in while keeping every harmful thing out. Why is it hard to chose a size? There are thousands of car window shapes and sizes now a days, different on every model. We try to cover all shapes and sizes with our sunshades. They are very elastic, if you stretch them horizontally they shorten vertically, making the choice hard. Will they fade with sun? Yes, sun destroys almost every fabric, so with time they will fade.
