The longevity of the film depends on a number of factors such as:

Often issues like peeling, rippling, cracking and bubbling will be covered under the warranty, in order to guarantee the effectiveness of the product.

There are a wide variety of types to suit your needs, ranging from ones that are clear to those that are composed of multi-layer of PET for better protection against shattering. Other options include those that are tinted by pigments or metals to limit the amount of visible light that is transmitted through the window, as well as block heat. And in order to fit in with your aesthetics, there are also decorative films which can be used to replicate the look of etched patterns or frosted glass.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TINTING?
An important aspect is its ability to significantly reduce usage. This is achieved through reducing the need to use an air conditioner, as the room does not get as hot because of the protective cover on the glass. Additionally, lighting costs are not increased as more natural light is allowed in. A reduction in solar glare also means that furnishings are less susceptible to sun damage. This means that your interior is less exposed to fading and can last longer.
