Default Re: how to prevent fading

In all honesty, I never have my blinds open Neighbours must think I'm a weirdo.

I don't have my blinds permanently closed because of my CEs though (although it helps), it's because the blinds are broken, so I can't roll them up unless I do it by hand, and with a 55inch TV in front of the window, I can't get in there to do it xx

But if your blinds did work
Would you be worried about fading?
And how would you go about preventing it / preserving your CE's?

Very good topic as I think about this issue every now and then.

My mother is a huge metal head and has a collection of very rare autographed records framed on her wall (Pantera, Metallica, Slayer, etc.) with her windows always open. Those records are now sadly, completely faded.

I've learned from this lesson and currently have specially designed shutters that angles light to the ceiling. I wish I knew about this UV protective film you're mentioning as those shutters I mentioned cost me thousands...
