Something that you’re often told by furniture dealers is that if you want to preserve the vibrant colors in your new couch, bed or chair, you should keep them out of direct sunlight. This is because the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can interact with the dyes in the furniture’s fabric to make them lighter, which leads to the faded look that you’re trying to avoid.
While it may seem simple enough to your salesman that you should just “keep it out of sunlight,” the fact of the matter is that doing so isn’t always that easy. What if you have a house with lots of windows? What if your bedroom has a skylight? What if the exact area where you planned to place your furniture happens to be the room with the best natural lighting?
Homeowners who are dealing with this situation, in which they want to preserve the look of their favorite furniture without having to keep it in a dark room, may want to consider having 3M Prestige window film installed on their window glass. This film provides a protective layer that prevents up to 99.9 percent of the sun’s UV rays from entering your house, which will help to preserve the beautiful colors that were part of the reason that you bought your furniture in the first place.
In addition to blocking UV rays, the 3M window films that you can purchase from Michigan Glass Coatings will also deflect up to 60 percent of the sun’s heat from coming through your windows, which will ultimately lead to lower energy bills and more comfortable living environments.
