Check for blockout or screen fabrics that have a UV protection rating. The higher the rating, the more UV light they block.

You need a blind with a UV protection rating or low openness factor. Standard sheer or light-filtering blinds reduce UV but don&#8217;t block it fully. Ask specifically for the UV rating before you buy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are external roller shutters worth the extra cost over internal blinds?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For UV and heat protection, yes. External shutters stop UV before it reaches the glass, internal blinds stop it after it&#8217;s already in the room. If your windows face north or west in Melbourne, the difference is significant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long before UV damage becomes visible on furniture?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It depends on the fabric and how much direct sun the piece receives. In Melbourne&#8217;s climate, noticeable fading on unprotected upholstery or timber floors near windows can appear within 2\u20133 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I reverse UV fading on my furniture or floors?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. UV damage is permanent. Faded fabric cannot be restored to its original colour. Timber floors can be refinished, but that&#8217;s a costly process.
