Could you imagine having an allergy to the sun? Having to sit in the house with the curtains closed all day.

No, neither could we, that’s why we jumped at the chance to change Peter’s life forever this Christmas.

While many people can be impacted by the sun’s glare or other solar related issues, we were recently involved in something just a little different when we helped to provide an effective solution for a gentleman whose life has been majorly impacted by a severe sun allergy.

“Peter has a sun allergy and has to have his curtains closed at all times. BBC Nottingham heard about it and, as Peter is an NCH tenant, got in touch with us to see if we could help.

A member of our staff put us in touch with their mate Dave, who fits UV protection film on windows and who, when he heard about Peter’s situation, offered to do the work for nothing, because he’s a lovely man, and it’s Christmas.

And today, the UV film was fitted! Here’s Peter, with Dave (in the Santa hat, which seems appropriate!) and Brian from WF Glazing Protection Ltd in the kitchen, with the curtains open for the first time in four years! And BBC Radio Nottingham were there to get Peter’s thoughts” – https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p07tx7vg (The feature begins at 2:06:40)

Sam Whitworth of Nottingham City Homes commented “Dave, you’re our Santa-hatted hero. Thank you so much.”

We met with Peter at his home and gave him a sample of DermaGard Clear UV window film to take to his consultant who approved it for his condition.

While avoiding Ultra Violet exposure is obviously very difficult, with DermaGard installed, we could help ensure that Peter’s home is one less area to worry about.

A technically advanced, clear polyester coating which is applied to existing glass, DermaGard keeps out 99.8% of the UV light whilst allowing natural daylight and clear vision through the glass – making life as normal as possible for Peter’s whole family.  The film goes on working day in day out, and it’s scratch resistant coating ensures it is easily cleaned and needs no maintenance.
