While basking in the sunlight might be great for your vitamin D levels, too much sun exposure can be harmful to your home. You've spent a fortune on that gorgeous sectional or hardwood floor, and the last thing you want is for it to fade under the harsh summer sun. UV rays are notorious for fading furniture, flooring, and artwork, leaving your precious belongings looking a little worse for wear.

There are a variety of UV-blocking window treatments that protect your interior from sun damage while still allowing you to enjoy the view. One of the most popular choices is solar shades, the ultimate UV-blocking solution. These shades are specifically designed to protect your home from the sun's harmful rays while still allowing a view of the great outdoors. And the best part? They're available in a range of colors, patterns, and openness factors, so you can customize the optimal balance of light and heat control for your space.

Sunburns are no fun, and neither is the damage that the sun's UV rays can do to your furniture, floors, and artwork. Upgrade your window treatments this summer to UV-blocking shades like solar shades - your sofa (and your wallet) will thank you!
