Where Can I Get UV-Resistant Windows?
Utah’s high elevation and sunny climate mean homes are exposed to intense UV rays almost year-round. From Salt Lake City to St. George, UV light can damage your interiors, fade furniture, and increase indoor temperatures—especially if your windows don’t offer proper protection. That’s where UV-resistant windows come in. These advanced windows block harmful rays while allowing natural light to brighten your space. In this guide, Epic Windows + Doors explains where to find the best UV-resistant windows in Utah and what to look for when upgrading.
Key Takeaways
- UV-resistant windows block up to 99% of harmful rays, protecting interiors from fading and heat damage.
- Low-E coatings and insulated glazing are essential features of high-quality UV-resistant windows.
- Epic Windows + Doors offers energy-efficient, UV-blocking windows tailored to Utah’s unique climate.
1. Why UV Protection Matters in Utah
Utah ranks among the sunniest states in the U.S., and that means more exposure to harmful ultraviolet light. Over time, UV rays can fade hardwood floors, artwork, upholstery, and window coverings. They also contribute to heat gain, which can drive up cooling costs in summer.
Installing UV-resistant windows is a simple way to protect your home from sun damage and maintain a more stable indoor temperature. Epic Windows + Doors offers windows with built-in UV-blocking technology to help you get the most from Utah’s sunshine—without the damage.
2. What Makes a Window UV-Resistant?
The most effective UV-resistant windows feature Low-E (low-emissivity) glass coatings, which reflect UV and infrared light while still letting visible light through. These coatings are microscopically thin and layered on the inner surface of insulated glass units.
Combined with argon gas fills and dual- or triple-pane construction, UV-resistant windows offer superior solar control and thermal efficiency. Epic Windows + Doors supplies windows with these exact specifications, designed for Utah’s sun exposure and elevation.
3. Top Brands with UV-Blocking Technology
Epic Windows + Doors partners with leading manufacturers—including Andersen, Jeld-Wen, Anlin, and Kolbe—to provide windows engineered with UV protection in mind. These brands offer ENERGY STAR®-rated products that include:
