The Challenge
A homeowner in Vestavia Hills' Liberty Park neighbourhood had invested significantly in hardwood floors, quality furniture, and original artwork throughout the home. UV fading was already visible on a Persian rug near the east-facing living room windows, and the homeowner was concerned about the long-term damage to the interior. The home was in an HOA community with strict guidelines on exterior changes, requiring a solution that would not alter the appearance of the glazing.
The Solution
Solar Busters specified Madico Duralite 40 — a near-invisible film with 99% UV rejection and a very light tint that satisfies HOA requirements. The film was installed across all east- and south-facing windows — 920 sq ft in total — in a single day. The homeowner received a specification sheet confirming the film's UV rejection performance for insurance documentation purposes.

"We'd already lost one rug to UV fading before we acted. The Duralite film is genuinely invisible — our neighbours haven't noticed any change, and we've had no HOA queries. The peace of mind about our floors and furniture is worth every penny."
