To protect your skin against damaging UV rays that can cause sunburn, you use sunblock with SPF. Just like your skin, your home furnishings can also be badly affected by the sun’s heat.
Wood floors, upholstery, linens, and paintings can begin to wear if exposed to the harmful rays of the sun over an extended time. Good thing you can protect your fixtures, furniture, and other furnishings with special window treatments that have UV-blocking capability. With an array of options on the market, you can find a window treatment that can both keep your property safe against UV damage and complement your interior design!
Use Coverings with Blackout Lining
Select window coverings are lined with special fabrics that provide UV protection, such as blackout lining. They prevent light from passing through your windows.
Interlinings come in a variety of compositions and thicknesses that feature blackout characteristics. They can be placed into the covering during fabrication or can be bought separately and stitched to ready-made window coverings. They also have good insulating capability that boosts the heat-conserving qualities of the covering.
To provide superior UV protection, layer a blackout lining at the back of a thermal-backed fabric covering on two individual traversing rods. Doing this will offer a few options for light control and maximum defense against damaging UV rays.
Install Blinds and Shades
Select window coverings can reduce the transfer of damaging UV rays into your home. Among these are honeycomb shades and slatted blinds that feature a cording system that blocks light. However, their capability in protecting your furnishings depends on their light-blocking level when they are covering your windows. The more your choice of blinds in San Diego can block light, the more they can provide protection against UV damage.
