As an important investment, your flooring should be protected as much as possible. Whether this means you’re constantly cleaning it or preventing sun damage, sometimes you have to do what’s necessary to ensure a long life.So, what can be done in terms of sun damage to your floors? While the sun doesn’t actually go anywhere, you can prevent how much enters your home, causing an issue.
Moving Furniture
One of the easiest ways to prevent sun damage it to constantly move furniture around your room to prevent the sun from fading specific areas. While this might seem like a nuisance, it’s also sometimes very relaxing to go with a new setting in rooms like your living room and other places. By doing this however, you’re limiting the amount of sunlight that hits specific areas of your room, which can cause premature fading.
Blinds
Blinds are common in many houses, and a number of different applications can help prevent the sun from damaging the area. One idea is to install two curtains on each side, one light and one dark. By doing so, you can choose when to allow more sunlight in, and when to allow less to pass through. Or, you can draw them back and allow it all to freely flow in.
Area Rugs
While we want you to enjoy your beautiful hardwood flooring, sometimes there’s no way around the sunlight. IF this is the case, consider an area rug that covers the space in which sunlight hits it the most. The result is great, and can leave you with unfaded flooring for years to come. Plus, you can use that area rug to help accentuate the room it’s in.
