Anybody use UV blocking glass film in their card room?

Years ago, I had a card room with windows and I had UV film applied to the windows. The cards still faded, especially the color red. Now I just block the windows completely with wooden shutters.

Doesn�t the issue of fading raise another issue with the grades given to slabbed cards? The card is protected from getting scratched or creased, but the condition could still deteriorate due to fading such that the grade on the flip is no longer appropriate.

I suppose that depends on whether the TPGs use UV filtered plastic.
