MR SigS Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't think sunlight has to be in direct contact with a book in order for it to fade (yellows and reds go first). There have been many cases of "wall books" from comic shops that have fading. But, your room- Your call As I said, that's a great setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah even that indirect sunlight is going to fade those books in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But comics are meant to be looked at not hidden in a dark box somewhere. Ill take my chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But comics are meant to be looked at not hidden in a dark box somewhere. Ill take my chances In my office there is a sliver of direct sunlight coming in the room, even with the blackout shades down. To add a little more protection, I had UV blocking film put on the window. Does not completely negate the UV, but reduces it significantly. Along with rotating the books every two weeks or so, it should keep the fading down to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
