What Does The Sun Do To Hardwood Floors?
Here in Denver, the sun is especially a threat to hardwood floors because we are so much hihgher in elevation that the effects of the sun are more significant. The UV rays of the sun are also magnified when they come through the glass of your window, making the rays that much more detrimental. The results of long term UV exposure on wood is significant– lightening of the wood or “sun bleaching” This causes floors to lose their luster and color, while at the same time drying them out, which leads to premature aging. The worst part of this is the spots that are left on the floor where furniture and rugs block the sun. Should you ever move that furniture around, you are left with an array of dark spots–a completely ruined hardwood floor. But fade reducing window film is a way to stop this fading by blocking UV rays from hitting the hardwood floor in your Denver home.
