It’s hard not to love the elegance and warmth of hardwood flooring, especially when it is kept in good shape. But like any part of your home, it requires maintenance and upkeep to preserve the original condition. In addition to regular sweeping and cleaning, you may need to refinish hardwood flooring every few years to keep it from fading and developing a dull look. Having said that, the vast majority of homeowners are unlikely to take the necessary steps to preserve hardwood floors once they have them installed. Certainly they’ll clean and sweep them, but nothing is being done to protect them and having your floors refinished can become very expensive.
Furthermore, refinishing your hardwood floors won’t be a permanent solution when it comes to damage occurring from sunlight. Eventually, finish will begin to shows signs of fading, the varnish will wear off and you’ll need to go through the refinishing process again. Over time, these costs will add up, to the point where you’ll wonder whether it was worth it to get hardwood flooring in the first place.
However, there is a solution to this problem that dramatically lengthens the amount of time between each refinishing job. By having 3M residential window film installed on your windows, you’ll be reducing the amount of ultraviolet rays that are hitting your floors. Not only will this keep your hardwood in good shape, it will also protect your furniture and help control temperatures in your house, so that your air conditioning doesn’t need to work as hard in the summer.
