Before we consider including any films in our product line, we subject them to extensive laboratory and field testing. As part of our evaluation process, we rely upon QUV Weather meters (accelerated aging equipment) to determine how durable a film actually is before we include it in our product offering. To our knowledge, we are the only private window film distributor in the USA that owns and operates this kind of equipment.

We are often asked "how many hours in the QUV system equals how many years in the sun?" Nobody can give you an exact answer to this question. QUV testing is done for comparative purposes. We mount samples of the films we are testing side by side with samples we determine how well our candidate film is made, compared to the competition.

For example, if we conduct a 6,000 hour exposure test and the film we are evaluating exhibits a color or adhesive failure after 1,289 hours and the other samples endured the full 6,000 hours without any problems, we know that the test sample was inferior and we will reject it. On have obtained from the best known manufacturers in the solar control industry. With this methodology, we can accurately the other hand, if our test sample withstands the same 6,000 hour test and exhibits no failures, we get a pretty good idea of how well it is made and how long it will last compared to other well known brands.
