How to Spot Poor Quality Film and Installations
Look around... Chances are you see bad window film installed everyday. Whether it's bubbled, poorly seamed, discolored or peeling, it looks bad, it feels bad, and it's a waste of money. When you purchase LLumar film from an authorized dealer, you are guaranteed outstanding performance year after year. Don't be fooled by imitation products. Insisting on high quality film and professional installation will increase the life of your investment.
1. All films are not created equal!

There is a vast array of window film products on the market. While some may look and feel the same, their structure, durability, and performance can be dramatically different. Metal deposition, deep-dyeing technology, laminating and application adhesives, abrasion resistant coatings, and installation methodology all unite to make LLumar the world's undisputed leading brand of automotive window film – and CPFilms the world's largest manufacturer of window film products.

Poor Adhesion
2. Low quality film will scratch.

Low quality films will rapidly degrade from surface abrasion. LLumar hard-coated films will retain their luster and clarity with the toughest scratch-resistant coating in the industry, meeting the rigors of automotive installation, itself the toughest and most demanding of applications for window film.

3. Trapped dirt and debris looks bad.

Trapped dirt and debris is a trademark of poor quality installation. We know installation can be very difficult under adverse conditions. That's why factory-authorized LLumar installers are trained to use the best techniques in the industry. Professional installations from LLumar dealerships meet strict quality standards and are warranted against defects.

4. Poorly installed film will bubble.

Blistering, bubbling film can often result from improper application solutions and

installation tools – chemicals and equipment not intended for film application. LLumar dealers have full access to an array of installation tools and the industry's best preparation and application solutions.

5. Professional installation is essential to performance.

The very best films require the best technicians who are factory-trained and maintain close contact with the technical services staff of CPFilms. Web-based technical support keeps the world-wide network of LLumar dealers abreast of the latest developments in installation technology. At their service is the world's largest, best-educated, technical response team, ready to help – with telephone assistance, email, immediate web-updates, or in-field assistance around the world as needed. No other manufacturer can come close to making such claims.
