How Long Do Tints Last And How To Get Long Lasting Window Tint

When it comes to how long car window tint lasts, window tint can last up to around 5 years on average, however, there isn’t a definitive answer for this as there are a few different factors that will determine the longevity of your window tint.

Two of the main factors that determine how long tints last include:

1. The quality of the window film. Poor quality window film tends to crack, peel, flake and bubble, may not adhere properly and will generally not last long. The high-quality tint will of course last a lot longer and is less susceptible to those unsightly (and dangerous) signs of wear and tear you’ll see with poor-quality film.
2. Application. The quality of the film won’t make a difference if the film has not been applied correctly. If film has not been applied in a way that allows it to adhere to the window correctly it won’t take long before it starts to come unstuck, peel away or bubble.

Another factor that can influence how long car window tint lasts is the climate you’re in. Exposure to a harsh climate can shorten the longevity of your window tint.
