Do you enjoy opening up all of your windows and doors during the summertime? While it allows sunlight to brighten up your home and lets a cool breeze in, you might want to reconsider in rooms that have wood flooring. Too much sun can cause fading and warping which can leave you with a world of trouble.
How To Prevent Fading
Placing a large area rug in the room is a great line of defense from the sun. You can also use a smaller rug and move it around to different areas of the room, especially where the sun is the strongest. If area rugs aren’t your style, you should invest in curtains or blinds that you can close when the sun is the strongest.
How To Repair Faded Wood
If your floors aren’t badly damaged, you can often restain them to get rid of the fading. Just make sure to find out the type of wood you have so you can choose the correct type of stain. For badly damaged areas, you’ll need to replace the boards, or have a professional refinish the entire surface.
