How to prevent and repair UV damage to your hardwood floors
We all love to maximise the amount of natural light coming into our homes, but have you ever considered the effect sunlight might be having on your hardwood floors? Try moving that floor rug and you may be surprised at the difference in colour between the floor underneath and the rest of the room.
In fact, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause your floors to discolour, causing a chemical reaction known as oxidisation to occur. It's not so very different to what happens to your skin when you sunbathe, changing the colour but also drying it out and making it look dull. And just like your skin, your newly sanded wood floors will need protection against unnecessary damage.
Prevention is better than cure
Putting up curtains or blinds will help to limit the amount of UV exposure, and interior shutters are a particularly stylish way to control the amount of sunlight hitting your floors. You could also invest in UV window film, which filters out the most harmful rays.
Once you've finished sanding hardwood floors, make sure the polyurethane you use contains a UV inhibitor. This is the smart choice if your floors are exposed to direct sunlight. Screen and refinish regularly to top up the protection and keep your floors looking like new.
Quick fixes for damaged floors
The first thing to try is moving your furniture around. This might not be the best option but it's a quick fix while you hire dust free sanding equipment or contact a floor sanding company regarding your refinishing options. You can also screen and recoat your floor to try and blend in the damaged areas, but the only real fix is sanding and refinishing.
Sanding and finishing a sun damaged floor
Sanding your floorboards back to the raw wood is the only guaranteed way to remove the damage created by UV rays. It's also a good idea if your floors get a lot of sun exposure and you want to refinish them with a UV protector. You'll need to be absolutely meticulous at this stage, removing every scrap of the old finish. Once you've protected your floors with a UV inhibiting polyurethane, be sure to re-screen them every 3-5 years for optimum protection.
