What Window Treatments Won't Fade In Bakersfield?

February 25, 2022

Your window treatments sit in sunlight all day long, so it’s no surprise when they start to fade or yellow. You need to replace your window treatments in that case because they will get worse over time. For longer-lasting window treatments that won’t fade in Bakersfield, use Polywood® shutters. These faux-wood plantation shutters never fade or yellow in UV light so you can install them in your sunniest window sills with no worries. They also will not stain from grime or water damage, making them appropriate for any room of your house.

Strong, White Polywood Shutters Won’t Fade Or Turn Yellow In Bright Bakersfield Windows

Almost all window treatments fade in Bakersfield if subjected to UV rays. Sunlight wash out materials like fabric, plastic, and wood, ruining your window treatments’ color. UV rays can cause many materials to weaken over time too, which is why even cheap aluminum window blinds yellow in your windows. The best way around this is install window coverings that are made from UV-resistant materials, like faux-wood Polywood shutters.

Polywood shutters are interior shutters that have louvers and are made from 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 sunlight. While the sun fades or discolors most window treatments, Polywood shutters can sit in the sun for decades without turning yellow or fading. They stay a elegant, perfect white that always blends in with your decor.

Polywood Shutters Resist Discoloration From Moisture And Mold

While it’s true that the sun can cause window treatments to fade in Bakersfield, humidity and water can discolor window treatments as well. Fabric and wood treatments can both suffer from water stains and similar damage if you aren’t careful. If you require window treatments for a humid environment like the bathroom or kitchen, use Polywood shutters instead. Similar to how they resist damage from UV rays, they are moisture-resistant too. Water can’t penetrate their faux-wood material, so they don’t develop water stains, warping, cracks, or splitting.
 

Dirt And Stains Won’t Discolor Polywood Shutters Either

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

Their iconic, wide louvers make dusting shutters less complicated than dusting loose-hanging blinds. And you won’t have the frustration of taking them to launder and iron like when you clean drapes. If your shutters have tougher grime, a damp cloth and light scrubbing will suffice. And don’t worry about wiping off their finish. That strong coating resists moisture and won’t rub off on your cloth.
