All hardwood floors will change shades with sun damage. Some woods will fade and lighten, others will darken with sun damage, and the most important thing for homeowners is to be aware that this is happening. We recommend homeowners have window treatments in place to provide protection from sun damage. If homeowners have area rugs in place it is recommended to rotate the rugs to make sure the floor ages uniformly. Keep in mind that severe sun damage will not always “sand out” with refinishing, so these minor preventative measures will ensure the best looking floor for the life of the home.
