Heritage Furniture Protection Sheers

If you have invested in fine furniture, heirloom rugs, or original artwork, you have a stake in their preservation. Heritage Furniture Protection Sheers are engineered to extend the life of your valued possessions by blocking 99% of the ultraviolet radiation that causes fading, embrittlement, and discoloration. Yet unlike blackout shades that seal you off from the outdoors, Heritage sheers 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 2-inch and 2.5-inch vane configurations, 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

Heritage shades feature our UVShield 99 technology, blocking 99.1% of UVA and UVB radiation—the same level of protection specified by major museums and galleries for conservation‑grade window treatments. Independent testing shows Heritage shades reduce 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 without UV control

  • Silk & Tapestry — Some of the most UV‑sensitive textiles ever produced

If a room contains irreplaceable items, it merits Heritage‑level protection.

Invisible Protection

UVShield 99 technology is optically clear. The UV‑absorbing core is encased in a transparent polyester sheath; the absorbers do not migrate to the surface and do not introduce any color cast. Your view remains bright and accurate. The only visible effect is what you don’t see—your furnishings fading.

Custom Sizing for Odd Windows

Heritage shades are available up to 120 inches wide and 144 inches tall. We can fabricate shades for non‑rectangular windows—arches, trapezoids, circles—with a lead‑time surcharge. Our pattern‑makers create precise templates from your measurements, and each shade is hand‑cut and assembled to match the exact geometry.

Professional Installation Recommended

Because archival applications demand precision—and because the furnishings being protected are often valuable—we recommend professional installation for Heritage shades. Our certified installers ensure minimal light gaps and smooth operation. Contact our commercial sales team for referrals.

Documentation for Insurance & Appraisals

Every Heritage order includes a certificate of UV protection documenting the tested performance of the specific fabric installed. This documentation can be submitted to insurers and appraisers to demonstrate that appropriate conservation measures are in place. Fine‑art and collectibles policies may offer reduced premiums when such protections are verified.
