If you are wondering why your furniture is starting to look a little faded or why your wood floors are beginning to lose their natural lustre, we might have the answer for you. UV rays are known to cause damage to interior flooring and furniture over time. Luckily for you though, there exists an easy solution to this problem. Indeed, window replacement and glazing can vastly reduce the occurrence of these issues and effectively protect your home’s interior from harmful UV rays.

The Impact of UV Rays on Your Indoor Furnishings
UV rays can have a harmful effect on certain materials. This can lead to several issues with regards to your flooring and furniture:
UV rays can cause rugs, wood floors, artworks, decorative items and furniture to fade and lose their colours and vibrancy.
UV rays can cause wood floors and furniture to crack over time and lose their nature lustre.
Exposure to UV rays can also cause damage in curtains and upholstery, which in turn can make them tear easily.
Using Window Glazing to Protect Your Interior Flooring and Furniture
There are several benefits to opting for window replacement and glazing. Firstly, window glazing will enhance the durability and lifespan of your furniture and flooring. This is particularly beneficial for expensive furnishings or valuable art pieces and family heirlooms.
Additionally, UV protection will also make your home cooler and more comfortable during the warmer months of the year. This will also allow you to regulate the temperature in your home more naturally, thus reducing your energy bills and your reliance on HVAC units.
Window glazing can also enhance the aesthetics of your home, as well as increase the value of your property.
Types of Window Glazing
There are a couple of window glazing options that you can choose from:
Low Emittance (Low-E) Glass – This high performing and energy-efficient option can effectively separate heat from cold. This provides better comfort and helps lower humidity, condensation, fogging, and the impact of UV rays all-year round. Low-E glass also allows you to save money on your energy bills.
Low-E Glass with Argon – This glass can vastly reduce the transference of hot and cold air due to the presence of argon gas, which is denser than air and provides extra insulation. This is also a highly energy-efficient option.
When choosing the right option for you, it is important to consider factors such as the type of windows you currently have, your home’s existing aesthetics, and the amount of sun exposure in your home. Would you like to learn more about our window glazing options? Check out our online guide.
