Fade Protection Shades – Preserve Your Interiors

Sunlight is beautiful—but its ultraviolet radiation is destructive. Over time, UV rays fade fabrics, bleach wood, and embrittle leather, silently devaluing your investment in fine furniture and flooring. Fade Protection Shades are engineered specifically to combat this threat, blocking 88% to 99% of harmful UV radiation while preserving the clarity and brightness of your view. Unlike window films that darken the glass or blackout shades that seal you off from the outdoors, our fade‑protection fabrics remain beautifully translucent, bathing your room in soft, natural light while neutralizing the radiation that causes fading. Available across all our product categories: roller shades, roman shades, cellular shades, zebra shades, and sheer shades. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless, continuous cord loop, or motorized operation. Preserve your possessions, preserve your view.

Two Levels of UV Protection

  • UVShield 88 — Blocks 88% of UVA and UVB radiation. Reduces fading by approximately 80% compared to unprotected windows. Ideal for most residential applications. Available in 30+ colors.

  • UVShield 99 — Blocks 99% of UV radiation. Archival‑grade protection for museums, galleries, and fine art collections. Reduces fading by approximately 95%. Available in 8 light‑neutral colors.

Both technologies are integrated into the fiber during extrusion—not applied as topical coatings—and are guaranteed for the life of the shade.

Fiber‑Integrated Technology – Permanent Protection

Unlike topical UV coatings that can wear off, wash away, or migrate over time, UVShield fabrics incorporate UV absorbers directly into the polyester polymer before extrusion. The absorbers are embedded throughout the fiber cross‑section, ensuring permanent, uniform protection that cannot be washed off, degraded by cleaning, or cause unwanted color shifts.

Available Across All Shade Styles

  • Roller Shades — UVShield 88 and 99; smooth, textured, and linen‑look options

  • Roman Shades — UVShield 88 and 99; flat, hobbled, and relaxed styles

  • Cellular Shades — UVShield 88 and 99; ¾" and 1⅛" single‑cell

  • Zebra Shades — UVShield 88 and 99; 3" bands, light‑filtering and room‑darkening

No other manufacturer offers UV‑blocking fabrics across this many product categories.

Protect Everything Under the Sun

  • Hardwood floors — Prevents photobleaching and color shift

  • Upholstery — Extends fabric life and prevents embrittlement

  • Leather — Reduces drying, cracking, and color loss

  • Artwork & photographs — Maintains pigment integrity and prevents paper yellowing

  • Carpets & rugs — Protects dyes from fading

Replacing a single sun‑damaged sofa can cost more than outfitting an entire home with fade‑protection shades.

Clear View, Not Darkened Glass

Many UV‑blocking solutions—films, coatings, tinted glass—introduce visible color casts (amber, blue, mirrored). UVShield fabrics are optically clear, appearing identical to standard non‑UV fabrics with no discernible shift. Your view remains bright, accurate, and unobstructed.

Documentation for Insurance & Appraisals

Each fade‑protection shade order includes a certificate of UV performance documenting the tested protection level of the installed fabric. This documentation can be submitted to insurers and appraisers to demonstrate proper conservation measures, potentially reducing premiums for fine art and collectibles policies.
