When wood flooring meets the sunlight, it will react to it, which may lead to fading, bleaching, and darkening. Fortunately, we can follow the tips to reduce the natural color change of the wood floors.
Move rugs and furniture regularly
Rearrange your rugs and furniture from time to time, which allows the sunlight to reach the previously covered areas of your flooring. Though the fading process will continue but it can equalize light exposure so as to achieve a consistent color within the entire room.
Install Window Film
One of the most effective ways to protect your hardwood flooring is to block out the UV rays. Window film can drastically keep the UV and IR light out of the house, so that wood floors can enjoy more healthy sunshine.
Install Awnings
If you don't like the window film solution, awning installation is another good choice, which can also block UV and IR light for your flooring. Whether you choose retractable or stationary, both types have wide-various colors made with fabrics and different textures, which can bring various styles to your home.
Well temperature control inside the house
As we mentioned above, even wood made into flooring is still alive. It not only reacts to the sunlight but also to temperature, as well as humidity. What comfortable environment you feel will also affect to your wood floors. Creating a cozy environment will also help to extend the lifecycle of your wood floorings.
All in all, fading and sun damage of wood is an unavoidable situation, but by following the above tips, the situation can be effectively reduced and improved. It can also extend the life of your hardwood floors for several years.
We prevent insects during manufacturing. Such as long-horned beetles, powder-post beetles, and termites, we implement rigorous inspection and pest-prevention procedures throughout every stage of production—from raw materials to finished products. These processes ensure that our floors are free from native wood-boring insects upon delivery. Native termite infestations are now covered under the warranty terms.
Infestations caused by foreign insects are more common in humid environments. We recommend keeping your environment appropriately dry and ensuring doors and windows are tightly closed during rainy days. You can also consider using UA WOOD STUDIO essential oil, which helps deter termites, silverfish, and cockroaches while cleaning, protecting, and maintaining your wood flooring in one easy step.
