<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Svenedin, post: 2357227, member: 15615&quot;]I was not really sure where to post this so please move the thread if it&#039;s in the wrong place. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a small collection of antiques: furniture, clocks and some paintings. I&#039;ve long been aware that sunlight is harmful to antiques and results in bleaching/fading/discolouration.&nbsp; Heat as well as UV can be damaging. I notice that my pieces that are in North-facing rooms, that never have direct sunlight, are not subject to any noticeable degradation over a period of many decades. However, those pieces exposed to direct sunlight have noticeable fade. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder what measures forum members use to protect their antiques from sunlight damage? Obviously, we cannot keep everything in the dark! I have seen UV filtering films that can be applied to windows and that are invisible in use. Does anyone use these? Then there are net or voile curtains which may cut the light down a little but I suspect are not that effective (they also keep flies and peering eyes out though).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
