Which Window Treatments Won't Fade In Riverside?

February 25, 2022

Your window treatments are in harsh sunlight all day, so it’s no surprise when they start to fade or discolor. You need to get new window coverings in that case because they will look worse with time. For long-lasting window treatments that won’t fade in Riverside, use Polywood® shutters. These faux-wood plantation shutters don’t ever fade or turn yellow in the sun so you can install them in your brightest window sills without a worry. They also won’t get stained from water damage or dirt, making them ideal for every window in your house.

Strong, White Polywood Shutters Never Fade Or Turn Yellow In Sunny Riverside Windows

Almost all window treatments fade in Riverside when subjected to penetrating UV rays. Sunlight affect materials like fabric, wood, and plastic, spoiling the lovely appearance of your window coverings. UV rays can make many materials break down with time as well, and that’s why even cheap window blinds get discolored in the sun. The only way to avoid this is to use window treatments that are made from UV-resistant materials, such as Polywood shutters.

Polywood shutters are interior shutters that have louvers and are made from a sturdy, recyclable wood substitute. Their baked-on white paint finish is UV stabilized and chemically bonds to the material to resist damage and discoloration from UV rays. While the sun fades or discolors other window treatments, Polywood shutters can sit in the sun forever and never fade or turn yellow. They stay a lovely, clean white that always matches your decor.

Faux-Wood Shutters Resist Discoloration From Moisture And Mold

While the sun can cause window treatments to fade in Riverside, humidity and water can also discolor window coverings. Fabric and wood treatments can both experience water staining and other damage if you aren’t careful. If you require window treatments for a humid environment like the kitchen or bathroom, choose Polywood shutters instead. Similar to how they resist ill effects from UV rays, they are moisture-resistant too. Water can’t penetrate their faux-wood material, so they don’t develop water stains, warping, splitting, or cracks.
 

Stains And Dirt Can’t Discolor Polywood Shutters Either

Dirt and sticky residues can stain most window treatments, but not Polywood shutters. Their exceptional finish resists discoloration from grimy build-up and sticky splatters. And in the event that your Polywood shutters do start to look a little dingy, they’re effortless to clean.

Their iconic, wide louvers make dusting your shutters less complicated than cleaning fragile blinds. And you won’t have the inconvenience of getting them down for laundering and ironing like when you clean drapery. If your interior shutters have more stubborn grime, a damp cloth and light scrubbing will suffice. And don’t worry about ruining their finish. That hardy coating is moisture-resistant and won’t rub off on your cloth.
