Why Your Furniture is Fading and How to Protect It

Furniture, artwork, and flooring are investments. They can be expensive purchases, cherished heirloom pieces, and meaningful parts of your home’s overall design. The interior of your space reflects your style and the life you’ve built, which makes protecting it all the more important.

Over time, you may start to notice signs of sun damage. Your flooring can begin to look patchy and uneven, your artwork may lose its vibrancy, and furniture placed near windows can start to fade. This gradual change is often caused by one main culprit: harmful UV rays.

Standard glass allows damaging UV rays to enter your home. As sunlight pours through day after day, it slowly breaks down dyes, fibers, and finishes. Thankfully, a simple upgrade like fade protection window film can make a noticeable difference in preserving your interiors and extending the life of your belongings.

Luckily, most window films can be considered fade protection window film, as high-quality window films come with 99% UV ray protection that is built into the adhesive of the film.  From there, choosing your window film solution depends on your goals for appearance, performance, and comfort. To help simplify the decision, here are a few film options that are especially effective at blocking the rays that cause the most damage.
