UV Damage – Carpets and Rugs
Every week we see serious Ultra Violet or sun bleaching damage to carpets, soft furnishings, rugs, textiles and leather furniture. As people tend to move items of furniture and rugs infrequently, dramatic colour change is seen, very regularly.
But what can you do?
On hot summer days, closing blinds or curtains can help protect your personal items, particularly between 12-3.30 pm, leather furniture dries, carpets and rugs fade, pictures also fade, a consequence can be, brittle carpet and rug fibres, cracked or split leather, damaged soft furnishing fibres can lead to balding. One clever solution is employing a company to fix apply a virtually invisible filter to the inside panes of glass, after rigorous cleaning, these UV filters screen out most of the harmful rays damaging your possessions.
Even in winter months, gradual damage still occurs. As we protect our skin with sun screen, this will be a bigger consideration as the problem of global warming increases as the years roll by.
