Has anyone had this long enough to know if it can reduce sun damage to drapes?

Yes, it works great. I've had throw pillows in a bay window, have had for three years with no fading.

I haven't seen any sun fading . I got it for the sun screen aspect. I have lupus and am very sun sensitive

Yes.....it definitely helps in blocking out the sun.....it is also very durable. I love it!

Yes, in fact almost better! Living in a rainy climate there are rarely enough days of sunshine to activate the Sun-In, but I have been using it successfully for almost 6 yrs with just my blow dryer.

We never had an issue, however we live in North Carolina. Didi you ever consider covers? They may help.We have them on when we do not use the furniture to protect the cusions from the hot sun.

Yes. I have played golf for many years and have sun damage. I have been pretty happy with the Tria Age Defying Laser. I use it as directed. I do not skip treatments. Good Luck!

I use this material to cover a kitchen garden window that gets too much sun at certain times of they day. I have in the past got shade screen from nurseries and awning shops to cover a large green house which was more durable than this material.

No...but it cuts the blazing sun a treat! Once the sun passes a certain point, I just roll it back up.Have plenty of other, (and more expensive) shades that allow light through...frankly, as my house is west facing I have not found these to be helpful. While you might be able to "see" through the screen, the glare is so great, not too mention how much heat still comes through.

Just wrap tape around it. I actually use the wrap to prevent sun scald in the summer.

I've used it on wooden items outside, but not in the full sun. I puts a beautiful finish on the wood, and may be worth treating every other year.

The instructions say that there will be fading if the product is placed in an area where there is direct sunlight and will eventually need to be removed. So fad I haven't had any problems and it has been there for quite a while. Our window sees about 8 hours of direct sunlight a day during the summer months.

Yes. This Ray Bloc is terrific stuff. Have used it on my yellow outdoor umbrella and chair cushions. SPF is the sun protection factor. A high factor works best to prevent fading and sun damage on fabrics exposed to the sun. Hope this helps.

It is a very thin piece of cloth so I do not think it would help much with sun. It is not reflective and might actually absorb sun.

I think it's more a UV issue, but we bring our furniture to a storage shed during the winter so it's not in direct contact with the elements. We also use furniture covers during the summer to help with the UV. I couldn't be happier with my strathwood sofa and two chairs.

I don't think so...it is a mesh material, not total sunblock, like a black out curtain.

I'm sorry I don't the answer to that. Have you tried to email them? My grandkids are still using their's and love it. Other than some sun fade, it has held up well.
