To protect the floor from the damaging rays of the sun, you should use window treatments such as curtains, blinds or shades. During the time of the day when the rays of the sunshine directly onto your floors, keep the window treatments drawn. The idea is to limit the amount of sunlight that directly hits your floors.
We also recommend placing rugs on your floors, especially around areas that receive too much direct sunlight. Be sure to also rotate your furniture and carpets several times on a yearly basis. This will prevent the sun from creating markings and imprints around tables, standing lamps and sofas.
