What you need to know

Fading occurs most often when a carpet is exposed to light, especially ultraviolet light. The most severe fading from sunlight occurs in east, south, and west-facing rooms with large windows that have no UV protective properties. Rooms with no window treatments (e.g., draperies, blinds, and sheers) are also at the highest risk of sun fading. Ultraviolet rays can come from the sun, however; they can also come from fluorescent lights that emit ultraviolet rays.
