All resilient flooring materials are susceptible to some level of UV-induced color change. To minimize this, use UV-blocking window films, blinds, or curtains in rooms with significant sun exposure. This prevents uneven fading and protects the longevity of the floor's original appearance.

Does direct sunlight cause flooring discoloration?
Yes, direct, prolonged exposure to intense UV rays from sunlight can cause luxury vinyl to fade or discolor over time. While many high-quality products have UV-stabilized wear layers, extreme exposure will eventually impact the color consistency of the printed design film.
