Furniture exposed to the sun for a long time (directly in the garden, terrace or swimming pool) or indirectly (in the room, next to the window) will eventually lose its original color. It can even destroy the life of furniture, so how do we control the light?
Under prolonged exposure to sunlight, certain textile fibers, wood, plastics, ceramics, and other materials used as furniture in this space may be affected, lose their color, or even suffer other damage, such as cracking. Here are some solutions to help you solve these problems:
Use roller blinds and blackout roller blinds
Generally, the use of any type of roller blinds or blinds can reduce the intensity of ultraviolet radiation on furniture, but even some of the fabrics cannot withstand the effects of sunlight, so they must be replaced as soon as possible. Fortunately, there are blackout roller blinds. Period fabrics are made of PVC, fiberglass and polyester, so these types of roller blinds are very durable. When the light and sunlight conditions are very annoying and very long, it is recommended to use this type of roller blind.
It is also recommended to open the roller blind at the clearest time of the day (12:00 to 15:00) to prevent the sunlight from affecting the furniture more.
• Properly allocate furniture
Considering that the degree of damage that furniture may suffer depends on the location of the furniture, they must be placed in the correct area, preferably where the light they receive is as indirect as possible.
As a reminder, find the point most susceptible to sunlight from outside the window, and with this in mind, move the furniture so that it has the least chance of being exposed to the outside.
• Cover furniture
Using blackout roller blinds is a good way to preserve furniture, but in some cases, it is necessary to open them. In this case, you can cover the furniture with a covering to protect it from the sun. Don’t worry about beauty, there are simple and elegant covers on the market that can perfectly fit your home decor.
• Avoid too strong furniture colors
Light shades are more resistant to the sun’s ultraviolet rays because they do not absorb much heat and have mosquito repellent effects. They can also better cover the aftermath of the sun, which is clearly different from strong tones.
• Perform continuous maintenance
Each material requires specific maintenance, as is the roller blind. Regular maintenance and cleaning of blackout roller blinds can greatly extend the life of the roller blinds. As long as your roller blinds are more durable, so is your furniture. UNITEC’s blackout roller blinds are very easy to clean, just wipe them gently with a damp cloth dampened with water.
