CAUSES OF PEELING WINDOW FOIL WRAPS

Age and Wear: Over time, window foil wraps can deteriorate due to exposure to the elements, especially sunlight. The adhesive used to attach the foil to the window frame may break down, leading to peeling and detachment.
Poor Installation: Improper installation is a frequent cause of peeling foil. If the surface was not adequately cleaned before applying the foil or if the adhesive was not evenly distributed, the foil may not adhere properly, leading to premature peeling.
Moisture Infiltration: If water or moisture seeps beneath the foil, it can compromise the adhesive's effectiveness. This is particularly common in areas with high humidity or if the window frames are not adequately sealed.

FURTHER CAUSES OF PEELING WINDOW FOIL WRAPS

Extreme Temperatures: Fluctuations in temperature, especially exposure to extreme heat or cold, can affect the adhesive properties of the foil. Adhesives may become less effective, causing the foil to peel away from the window frame.
Low-Quality Materials: The quality of both the foil and the adhesive matters. If low-quality materials were used during the manufacturing process, the foil may be more prone to peeling. Investing in higher-quality materials can contribute to longer-lasting window enhancements.
Incompatible Surfaces: Some window frames may not be suitable for certain types of foil wraps. If the foil is not compatible with the frame material, adhesion issues may arise, leading to peeling.
Physical Damage: Accidental impact or scratching can damage the foil and compromise its adhesion to the window frame. Ensure that the window frames are treated with care to prevent physical damage to the foil.
