Technical Information About Window Films
Transparent layers of high quality polyester are metallised using sputter technology. The roll of polyester is unwound, warmed gently and then passed over the target metals. Through ion bombardment the atoms of ceramic or metal particles such as silver, aluminium, stainless steel, gold, titanium and chromium are deposited on to the film. This ensures an even application, long lasting colour and excellent solar performance.
The metalized polyester is then laminated and coated using special adhesives. Finally ultraviolet inhibitors and protective scratch resistant coatings are then applied to protect the polyester and target materials.
Our high quality sputtered technology window films have been manufactured by using an award winning development and advanced technology.
How Window Film is Made
Films consist of transparent layers of high quality polyester. That are metallised using the latest sputter technology. A roll of clear polyester is unwound, warmed gently and then passed over the target metals. Through ion bombardment the atoms of ceramic or metal particles such as silver, aluminium, stainless steel, gold, titanium, chromium and other materials are deposited in to the film. This ensures an even application, long lasting colour and excellent solar performance.
The metalized polyester is then laminated and coated using special adhesives. Finally ultraviolet inhibitors and protective scratch resistant coatings are then applied to protect the polyester and target materials.
Life Expectancy Of Window Film
The warranty period for most of our window films is between 7 and 16 years against peeling, bubbling, de-lamination and discolouration. The life expectancy of our films will exceed the warranty. Lasting much longer when care for correctly.
Cleaning Window Film
Clean the same as ordinary glass. Do Not use anything sharp or abrasive on the film. Most solvent free glass cleaners will work well using a non abrasive soft cloth, although a good cleaning solution for window film is 25 ml of a mild detergent added to one litre of fresh water and use a lint free cloth.
