High-profile sports facilities face a preservation challenge that most organizations overlook: the slow, cumulative damage that sunlight causes to valuable artifacts, memorabilia, and interior finishes. At Halas Hall, the Chicago Bears’ training and headquarters facility in Lake Forest, prolonged UV exposure was putting irreplaceable items at risk.
AAA Glass Tint was brought in to specify and install a professional-grade UV window film solution. The selected film was chosen specifically for its ability to block up to 99% of ultraviolet rays while maintaining full optical clarity, keeping the facility bright and visually open without compromising the protection it delivers.
The installation was completed without interruption to the facility’s daily operations. The result is long-term, passive preservation built directly into the building’s glass — protecting the Bears’ history for years to come.
