UV Resistant Shutters Block Harmful Rays and Protect Furnishings

Prolonged sun exposure can damage window treatments, furniture, art, and interiors. Advanced UV resistant shutters block the most harmful ultraviolet rays that fade and deteriorate sensitive materials.

Shutters constructed of durable UV blocking materials filter out the most aggressive radiation from the sun. This protects valuables placed near light sources against premature damage. Let’s examine effective UV protection options.

The Risks of UV Exposure

Ultraviolet light triggers measurable deterioration:

• Fading and discoloration of fabrics, upholstery and rugs
• Wear, aging and drying of wood surfaces and artwork
• Yellowing, hazing and clouding of clear plastics and glass
• Leather and vinyl hardening, cracking and peeling over time

Irreversible material degradation occurs gradually without effective UV barriers.

How UV Rays Damage Items

Harmful wavelengths break down many bonds:

• Discolors fabric dyes and pigments
• Destabilizes chemical treatments on wood
• Accelerates oxidation of polished metal surfaces
• Causes polymers and plastics to crosslink chaotically
• Makes items appear prematurely weathered and worn

Quality assets deserve sturdy protection from UV.

Blocking Harmful Ultraviolet Light

Specialized shutters filter out the most destructive UV:

• Multi-layered laminated slats with UV inhibitors
• Tight particulate seals preventing side infiltration
• Powder-coating on frames resistant to breakdown
• Optional transparent laminated films on glass behind

Together these measures effectively obstruct deterioration from UV penetration.

Preserving Your Valuables

Reduce premature damage in spaces containing:

• Rare wood antiques and musical instruments
• Paintings, photographs, old books and documents
• Collectibles susceptible to color change
• Fine furniture and custom upholstery fabrics
• Plastic wares prone to clouding and yellowing

Prolonging the lifespans of cherished items is priceless.

Protection Across Shutter Types

UV resistance is easily designed into:

• Faux wood aluminum shutters
• PVC, resin, vinyl and composite shutters
• Plantation, louvered, tiered and board-and-batten styles
• Indoor and outdoor rated options are available

Versatile aesthetics still permit blocking UV.

Automation for Set and Forget

Automating UV protective shutters adds convenience:

• Schedule shutters to close when UV index is highest
• Connect to weather data to adjust louver angles automatically
• Close when bright direct sun would stream onto valuables
• Integrate with smart home sensors and artificial intelligence

Take the guesswork out by programming optimal deflection.

Additional Preventative Measures

Further protect vulnerable items by:

• Placing furniture strategically to avoid hot direct sun beams
• Installing window films that filter UV on existing glass
• Using window shades and curtains in conjunction with shutters
• Limiting duration of exposure each day when possible

Every layer of UV defense helps when aiming for permanence.

Conclusion

Advanced UV blocking shutters prevent irreversible damage to prized possessions by filtering out the sun’s most harmful rays. Contact our team to incorporate this vital defensive capability into custom shutters shielding your treasures for years to come.
