SUN DAMAGED HARDWOOD FLOORS

Absolutely, let's chat about sun-damaged hardwood floors in a friendly and informative way! Sun damage on hardwood floors is a common issue for many homeowners. Over time, exposure to direct sunlight can cause the wood to fade, change color, or even warp. But don't worry, there are ways to address and prevent this from happening to your lovely hardwood floors.

Understanding Sun Damage

Hardwood floors can lighten or darken when exposed to sunlight, depending on the type of wood. This change is due to the UV rays and heat from the sun, which can break down the wood's fibers and alter its natural color.

‍

Prevention Tips:

Use Window Coverings

Blinds, curtains, or UV-blocking window films can significantly reduce the amount of sun exposure on your floors.

Rearrange Furniture

Periodically moving your furniture and rugs can help the floor age evenly, preventing noticeable sun spots.

Apply UV-Protectant Sealant

Some modern hardwood finishes come with UV protectants that can minimize sun damage.

Fixing Sun-Damaged Floors:

‍

Refinishing

If your floors are already sun-damaged, refinishing them can help. This process involves sanding down the floors to remove the discolored layer and applying a new finish.

Using Area Rugs

Strategically placing area rugs can cover existing damage and protect the floors from further sun exposure.
