Furniture Protection Shades – Heritage Collection

If you have invested in fine furniture, heirloom rugs, or original artwork, you have a stake in their preservation. Furniture Protection Shades are engineered to extend the life of your valued possessions by blocking 99% of the ultraviolet radiation that causes fading, embrittlement, and discoloration. This is the same level of protection specified by major museums and conservation laboratories, now available for your home. Yet unlike blackout shades that seal you off from the outdoors, these shades remain beautifully translucent, bathing your room in soft, natural light while maintaining a connection to the garden or cityscape beyond. The fabric is our premium UVShield 99 material, co‑extruded with a UV‑absorbing core and a clear sheath. It is indistinguishable from standard sheer fabrics but provides museum‑quality protection. Available in roller, roman, cellular, and zebra styles, with a curated palette of 8 light‑neutral colors. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions. Because the things you love should last.

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.
