Other elements of the light spectrum don&#8217;t cause this kind of damage. Ultraviolet rays can also cause wool fibers to wear more quickly. In order to avoid this damage, first place your rug in an area where it won\u2019t be exposed to huge amounts of direct sunlight.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your rug will experience direct sunlight, draw shades or curtains when you\u2019re not home. You can also consider installing low emission glass in your windows. This glass filters out UV light from entering your home, while still allowing light to enter your property. Low E glass can even keep your energy costs down &#8211; making homes cooler in the Summer and warmer in the Winter.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even opt to install Low E filters for your existing windows. These transparent filters come in clear or semi-opaque shading types, and are directly applied to the surface of your existing windows. They don&#8217;t work quite as well as Low E glass, but still do great at reducing UV rays from entering your property.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t recommend adding UV blocking chemicals to your rug fibers, as they haven\u2019t demonstrated significant ability to block sun fading and damage, and can even attract dirt, causing your rugs or carpets to look much dirtier, much faster.
