Furniture Protection Shades – Heritage Collection
Museum‑Grade UV Protection
Furniture Protection Shades use our UVShield 99 technology, blocking 99.1% of UVA and UVB radiation—the same conservation‑grade standard required by major museums and galleries. Independent testing shows UVShield 99 reduces fading of standard textile dyes by approximately 95% compared to unprotected windows.
Specifically for Valuable Furnishings
This collection is curated for rooms containing:
-
Antique furniture — Wood, veneer, and marquetry are highly susceptible to UV bleaching
-
Oriental & Persian rugs — Natural dyes are among the most fugitive
-
Fine art — Oil paintings, watercolors, and works on paper require archival protection
-
Leather — Upholstery and bindings dry, crack, and discolor under UV exposure
-
Silk & tapestry — Some of the most UV‑sensitive textiles
If a room contains irreplaceable items, it deserves Furniture Protection Shades.
Invisible Protection
UVShield 99 is optically clear. The UV‑absorbing core is encapsulated within a transparent polyester sheath, preventing migration to the surface and eliminating any color cast. Your view remains bright and accurate. The only visible result is what doesn’t happen: your furnishings don’t fade.
Styles Available
-
Roller Shades — Smooth, matte finish; light‑filtering only
-
Roman Shades — Flat or hobbled; light‑filtering only
-
Cellular Shades — ¾" single‑cell; light‑filtering only
-
Zebra Shades — 3" bands; light‑filtering only
Blackout and room‑darkening options are intentionally excluded to preserve the optical clarity required for UVShield 99 performance.
8 Light‑Neutral Colors
Available in eight colors optimized for clarity and UV performance: Arctic White, Ivory, Oyster, Pearl, Sand, Light Grey, Greige, Sky Blue. Darker colors are not offered, as they would absorb more visible light and reduce view clarity.
Documentation for Insurance & Appraisals
Each order includes a certificate of UV protection documenting the tested performance 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.
Professional Installation Recommended
Because archival applications demand precision—and because the furnishings being protected are often valuable—we recommend professional installation. Certified installers ensure minimal light gaps and smooth operation. Contact our commercial sales team for referrals.
