What Window Treatments Won't Fade In Dover?

February 25, 2022

Your window treatments hang in harsh sunlight all day, so it’s no wonder when they start to discolor or fade. You have to buy new window coverings when they do this because they will gradually look more unsightly with time. For longer-lasting window treatments that won’t fade in Dover, use Polywood® shutters. These durable plantation shutters don’t ever fade or yellow in sunlight so you can place them in your brightest window without a worry. They also won’t get stained from grime or water damage, making them suitable for any window in the house.

Durable, White Polywood Shutters Never Fade Or Turn Yellow In The Sun

Most window treatments fade in Dover when exposed to intense UV rays. Sunlight bleaches materials like plastic, fabric, and wood, spoiling your window treatments’ attractive color. UV rays can make many materials degrade with time as well, and that’s why even low-quality aluminum window blinds turn yellow in your windows. The one way to avoid this is to use window coverings like durable Polywood shutters that have UV-resistant materials.

Polywood shutters are louvered, interior shutters and are made from long-lasting, recyclable wood substitute. They have a baked-on white paint finish that is UV stabilized which chemically adheres to the material to avoid damage and discoloration from sunlight. While the sun fades or discolors other window treatments, Polywood shutters can stay in direct sunlight forever and never turn yellow or fade. They stay a lovely, perfect white that always goes with your decor.

Faux-Wood Shutters Avoid Discoloration From Water Damage

While it’s true that sunlight can cause window treatments to fade in Dover, water and humidity can also discolor window treatments. Wood and fabric treatments can both suffer from water staining and mold damage if you aren’t careful. If you need window treatments in humid environments like the kitchen or bathroom, choose Polywood shutters instead. Just like they resist ill effects from UV rays, they are also moisture-resistant. Water doesn’t soak into their faux-wood material, so they won’t develop water stains, warping, cracks, or splitting.

Stains And Dirt Won’t Discolor Polywood Shutters Either

Dirt and sticky residues can discolor many window treatments, but not Polywood shutters. Their amazing finish avoids discoloration from dirt build-up and sticky splatters. And if your Polywood shutters begin to look a bit dingy, they’re very easy to clean.

Their durable, wide louvers make dusting shutters less complicated than cleaning flimsy blinds. And you’ll never have the annoyance of getting them down for laundering and ironing like when you clean drapery. If your faux-wood shutters have more stubborn soil, a damp cloth and gentle rubbing are enough. And you don’t have to worry about ruining their finish. That hardy paint resists moisture and won’t come off on your cloth.
