Basswood Fade Test

Blind Designs sent their basswood slat along with competitive slats, to see how much the finish would fade in a ten-year UV exposure. Any slat that had a 'figure of change (E) of 5 or was failed due to major colour change. The results came back and indicated that the Blind Designs basswood slat had the least change.
