It's true that the sun's rays, while wonderful for bringing light into our homes, can wreak havoc on our interior furnishings. Fading of fabrics, flooring, and artwork is a common problem. Thankfully, modern window technology offers effective solutions. Here's how new windows can help prevent interior fading:
The Culprit: UV Rays
The primary cause of fading is ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. These rays break down the chemical bonds in dyes and materials, causing colors to fade and fabrics to weaken.
How New Windows Offer Protection:
Low-E Coatings:
Our modern windows feature low-emissivity (low-E) coatings—four low-E coatings, to be exact. These microscopically thin, transparent coatings applied to the glass selectively block UV rays while allowing visible light to pass through.
This means you can enjoy natural light without the damaging effects of UV radiation. Our windows can save your furniture from sun damage. How neat is that?
Improved Window Construction:
New windows from Conservation Construction have better seals and construction, which can also help reduce heat gain. Excessive heat can also contribute to fading, so reducing the heat coming through the windows helps reduce fading.
Benefits of UV-Protective Windows:
Preserve Interior Furnishings:
Protect your furniture, carpets, drapes, artwork, and flooring from fading and discoloration.
Increase Energy Efficiency:
Low-E coatings also help regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for excessive heating and cooling.
Enhance Comfort:
These windows create a more comfortable living environment by blocking UV rays and reducing heat gain.
Protect your skin:
Reducing the amount of UV radiation that enters your home will also help protect your skin from sun damage.
