Protect Your Furniture and Flooring from UV Rays
The past few weeks have seen a lot of nice long sunny days; and while that is great news for those who like to enjoy the sunshine. It means rooms that have a large amount of glazing, such as a conservatory; are at an increased risk at having their furniture and flooring damaged by the UV rays in sunlight. This is an especially important issue for people with a south-facing conservatory. This is because, the room is exposed to the sun for most of the day.
Protect Your Furniture & Flooring From Fading
A good way to see if your flooring has already faded is to move a piece of furniture. From here you can see the difference in colour between the floor under the furniture and the floor that has been in the sun. Our installation team often sees this difference after a customer has moved their furniture out of the way so that we have room to install the blinds.
In order to protect your furniture and flooring from UV rays, you need to block the UV from entering the room. While blocking the sunlight entirely will add protection; it can also block out light making the room feel dark and gloomy. This is why our blind fabrics have been specifically designed to block the UV light from entering a room. However, they still let enough visible light in to keep the room bright.
The Process
Free Quotation: when you arrange a quotation with us; your locally-based sales person will be able to provide expert advice about the best blinds for preventing UV damage. As mentioned previously, any room with a large amount of glazing can be exposed to UV rays. This includes rooms which have lantern roofs, bi-folding doors and large gable shaped windows. As well as, traditional conservatories and orangeries. The sales person will show you all the available fabric colours and design which best suit what you are looking for. Our sales team each has years of experience, which means that we can answer all of your questions, however technical. We believe in giving you all of the information so you can make an informed decision without any pressure. Our experts show you how real blinds work and fit before you buy – not just pretty pictures.
Survey and Installation: once you are happy with the blind fabric and design, we then organise for a member of our installation team to complete the survey. This is where, they go through extra information and precise measurements; ensuring the blinds are made perfectly for your home. The details are then sent over to our factory so we can begin to manufacture the blinds. In most cases, the same installer that completed your survey will come back to install the blinds. Once the blinds are installed they will make sure to explain the operation and maintenance of your new blinds so you are left completely satisfied with new purchase!
