How To Protect Curtains & Furniture From The Sun

 

CURTAINS:

  • Install a good quality lining behind your curtains (Nitefall, Solarline or Galaxy have good UV ratings).
    • Provides insulation from heat and cold.
    • Blocks out all light for good sleep.
    • Helps protect your curtains from sun damage over time.
  • Extend the life of your front edges by limiting the contact of sunlight onto it. You can do this by making sure there is room to stack back your curtains
  • Occasionally swap curtains from one side of the track to the other:
    • This reduces any visible colour change as it helps expose the fabric evenly to light.
    • Invest in sheers. These will reduce the sun's impact by filtering the sunlight entering your home as well as offer privacy.
  • Apply a UV window tint. This reduces the amount of UV light entering your room and protects your fabrics, flooring, walls and hard furniture.

 

 

 

FURNITURE:

  • Keep furniture out of direct sunlight as much as you can by arranging your furniture a certain way and rearranging furniture regularly.
  • Flipping and rotating cushions regularly helps to ensure an even amount of light is distributed on the fabric over time.
  • Invest in sheers. These will reduce the sun's impact by filtering the sunlight entering your home as well as offer privacy.
