The Source of Sun Damage - UV Rays The sun is the life giving center of the universe.  It makes plants grow, and the world go round.  But it can also be harmful and damaging.  The same way the sun's persistent rays attack human skin, causing burns, cancer and other damage, the sun's rays also damage furniture, fabric, and other materials found in your home, office or building.  But it's not the entire spectrum of the sun's rays that are damaging - just the UV rays. We want sunlight to come into our homes and spaces and fill them with warmth and light.  It makes us feel good, whether we're at home or in the work place.  But the sun is the number one cause of faded interiors in homes and other commercial spaces.  As you can see in the images in this article, the sun can easily change the color of your finished floors and furniture, as well as fabrics and just about everything else that comes in prolonged contact with the sun.
