A bubbled/purple film means it has deteriorated over time, the adhesive has broken down and the dye in the tint has faded or lost its colour. As the sun deteriorates basically everything, window tint will not last forever so its unreasonable to expect your lifetime warranty window tint to last for 50 years.
However, by spending a little extra on a good quality window tint like those you will find at Adelaide Window Tinting, you will have the peace of mind that your window film will stand the test of time in Australia’s harshest conditions and block out more heat than the cheaper films.
Adelaide Window Tinting recommends not to put your windows down for 48 hours after installation.
Adelaide Window Tinting usually has a curing period up to 30 days. This can vary depending if the finished product is in direct sunlight or shade and on the construction of the film.
