The results of extended UV exposure on wood is– lightening or bleaching. This causes floors to lose their shine and color, while at the same time drying them out and prematurely aging them. The worst part of this is–the furniture leaves spots on the floor where it blocked the sun. As soon as you move that furniture around, you are left with an array of dark, ugly spots.
