Silvering

Silvering is a sign of film failure — either age-related adhesive degradation or installation defect. It looks like a metallic shimmer in the film, often most visible at the edges or near defroster lines.

For premium films, silvering should not appear within the warranty period. Budget films can silver within 2–4 years in Singapore conditions.

A silvered film cannot be repaired — full removal and re-installation is required. Infratint's Platinum99 warranty includes silvering as a covered failure mode.
