I've seen a lot of old hardwood floors where the owner moved a rug that had been there for years, and the wood under the rug was noticeably brighter, having been shielded from UV degradation. Is there any way to prevent this phenomenon? Will modern Low-E windows that block UV radiation do the job? Are there any stains or sealants that are UV-blocking?

Low-E windows will go a great job, and help with many energy losses.
A rug will always be better than just about anything, covered places on just about anything will take less abuse than uncovered surfaces.
Minwax has always been my favorite for anything I can put it on.
Their naming conventions are not always the most clever.
'Minwax Super Fast-Drying Polyurethane for Floors' is a product that will work for you.
They make a number of other products for coating hardwood floors.
Sherwin-Williams has never led me astray either.
Working on wood floors sucks, best of luck to you
