There are many opinions and speculations in the automotive industry. The durability of your window film is effected by the climate and weather conditions the film encounters on a daily basis, what quality of film the consumer chooses, and how the film is handled and maintained by the owner.

Which films last the longest? Dyed films without UV inhibitors in the polyester tend to fade faster than films with UV inhibitors. Metalized films with dye and metal deposits provide increased heat rejection with increased longevity. However, as stated at the outset, the duration of window film can be determined by both the climate and the maintenance and handling provided to the film. Although consumers cannot control the weather film is exposed to, it is in the consumers control to properly care for the film. Window films have a scratch resistant coat.
