If you have wooden or upholstered furniture out on your patio or deck, you may have noticed that it’s looking a little faded after this summer. That’s because when your belongings are left exposed to intense heat and sunlight, they come into contact with harmful ultraviolet light. UV rays are responsible for causing colors to look less vibrant than their original appearance.
How Ultraviolet Light Causes Fading
Exposure to UV rays results in what’s referred to as photodegradation. When UV rays from the sun come into contact with dyed surfaces, they break down the molecular structures that are responsible for visible color. This results in colors that look bleached or faded.
How the Sunlight Affects Your Home’s Interior
What you’re probably thinking is that you just won’t keep your furniture and personal belongings outside, right? The trouble is that even the interior of your home is at risk to heat damage. This is because the same harmful rays of light are still able to come into contact with your furniture by entering through your windows. Too much heat can also result in surfaces becoming warped or cracked and causes flaking paint.
