Carpet shading is caused by variations in how light reflects from the pile. Factors include pile direction and texture, fibre type and dyeing, manufacturing differences, foot traffic patterns, cleaning methods and directional lighting or sunlight. Shading is often a visual effect rather than actual colour loss. To minimise shading, choose products with even dyeing and consistent texture, avoid prolonged direct sunlight on the same area, maintain a regular cleaning regime and ensure correct installation with consistent pile direction. For tailored advice about particular products or how to reduce shading in a specific room, contact BCC showroom at Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point NSW.
