How Motorized Shades Prevent UV Damage to Floors and Furniture
Use Motorized Shades to Preserve Your Favorite Belongings and Finishes
Is your favorite artwork looking a bit drab lately? Are there areas in your hardwood floor that look lighter than the rest of the house? You’re not going crazy or developing vision issues. The likely culprit is UV damage. With bright summer sun and reflective winter light, homes in Portland, OR, get their fair share of UV rays. Part of the issue is that sun damage is gradual. Fading is slow and minimal, so by the time you notice it, it’s too late.
One solution is to make sure vulnerable furnishings or artwork are kept away from windows. But that can be extremely limiting. Especially if your flooring is at risk. Another option is to always close window shades when sunlight is hitting directly, but it’s easy to forget. The best option is motorized shades that close automatically in response to the sun’s patterns.
