Adhesive Failure
Adhesive failure is the breakdown of a window film's bonding layer over time, resulting in edge lift, silvering, bubbling or eventual film delamination from the glass.
Premium film adhesives resist failure for 10–15 years in tropical conditions. Budget adhesives can fail within 2–5 years.
Failure modes: - Edge lift (corners lifting) - Silvering (mirror flash from air pockets) - Adhesive blooming (hazy appearance) - Full delamination (film comes off in pieces)
Adhesive failure is a covered defect under most premium-film warranties. Infratint replaces failed installations under the original warranty terms at no charge.
