Does Window Film Always Fade?

Some people will tell you that window tinting film will always fade and change color over time. But the fact is that not all window films will show such wear and tear.

Why Does Cheap Window Film Turn Purple and Bubble?

The reason cheap window film can start to change color and form bubbles is due to its makeup. Cheap window film often contains adhesives and dyes that start to break down as the film ages. These components can be affected by UV rays and heat, which leads to the film changing color and turning purple, as well as bubbling up.
