Why Your Floors and Furniture Fade, and How to Stop It

Catch us on the gram

You know that faded strip on the floorboards where the sun lands, or the couch that is two shades lighter on the window side? That is UV damage, and it happens straight through ordinary glass without you noticing until it is done.

In Australian sun it is not a slow problem either. Timber, fabric, leather and artwork all pay the price faster than people expect.

What the sun is doing to your interior

Standard window glass blocks very little UV, so it pours into the room and bleaches everything it touches: floors, rugs, sofas, curtains, kitchen benches and any art on the walls. Add the heat and the fading only speeds up.

Once it has faded there is no fixing it short of replacing or refinishing, which is exactly why the smart move is to stop it at the glass.

How window film stops it

A quality window film blocks up to 99% of UV, the part of sunlight responsible for nearly all the fading. Your floors, furniture and finishes keep their colour for years longer, and the film does it invisibly, so the room still looks like it always did.

You do not have to go dark either. There are light, near-clear films that reject UV and heat without changing how your windows look from inside or out.

Cooler and protected in one go

The same film that saves your interior also rejects a big share of the sun's heat, so rooms stay more comfortable and the air-con works less. Protection for your furnishings and a smaller power bill from the one install.

Protect your place

Send us photos of your windows or book a measure-up and we will recommend the right film for each room. Melbourne and Perth studios, fitted clean and bubble-free.
