Whether you decide to apply window tinting or solar film for practical or aesthetic reasons, you will want a product that will last the test of time. It will need to withstand interventions of both nature and humankind.

Once in place, the tinting film is designed to stay there but there are some instances that may cause it to fail such as if it is not installed correctly or if it is subject to unreasonable treatment during its life. Manufacturers and installers will claim that tinting film is extremely durable and will withstand everyday use and the effects of children and animals but there is a limit. Tinting film will not survive exposure to sharp objects or hard edges and will rip, tear or split if challenged.

When applying the tinting film, be sure to eliminate all air bubbles and creases in the film prior to drying. Bubbles and creases will cause the film to dry out and crack and peel over time. A skilled glass tint professional will ensure that the tint film adheres to the glazed surface adequately without the presence of bubbles and creases. If you attempt the job yourself, be sure to apply the tinting film with care and precision to maximise the opportunity of long lasting, durable result.
