Can I use suncatchers in windows with coverings?
Yes, while our suncatchers do require direct sunlight to work, the rainbows can still peek through openings in your curtains, drapes, or blinds. In fact, you can use window coverings to control the amount of rainbows your Axicon Suncatcher produces. Open them up when you want your room filled with rainbows, and close them when you want to focus rainbows in a specific area.
Which windows are best for hanging suncatchers?
More direct light means more rainbows! For the strongest effect, choose your sunniest window. You can also experiment with other windows to find the ambient lighting that works best for your space. We recommend windows that face west, east, or south. East-facing windows typically produce more rainbows in the morning, and west-facing windows give a stronger effect in the afternoon. South-facing windows give a balanced amount of rainbows throughout the day and are especially effective during the winter season.

Do suncatchers ever fade?
No, your Axicon Suncatcher will never stop producing gorgeous rainbows! If you notice that a rainbow prism suncatcher doesn’t seem to be performing as well as usual, remember that factors such as the season and weather will affect the number of rainbows it produces. Your suncatcher will be back to its usual magic in no time!
