Warranty and service for PDLC film: what support after installation really includes
Installing the film is an important stage of the project, but from the investor’s perspective, what matters even more is how the solution performs over time. It is the warranty and service support that determine whether the technology is a safe long-term choice.
In practice, users want to know whether the film will still work after several years, what happens in the event of a fault, and whether someone will actually take care of the issue. That is why warranty and service should be seen as an integral part of the entire solution.
How long does SONTE film last?
SONTE has been on the market since 2013, which means over a decade of experience in delivering projects using PDLC technology. During this time, hundreds of installations have been completed, many of which are still operating today in offices, service facilities, and private spaces.
Films installed in the early years of the company’s activity are still working, which shows that the solution performs well over long-term use. Of course, as with any electrical system, some components may require servicing after years of operation. This most often applies to power supply units, which operate in the system for a long time and are naturally subject to wear.
There may also be situations caused by improper use, such as the film being exposed to water. In such cases, the issue is not caused by the technology itself, but by the conditions in which it has been used.
What is the warranty period for SONTE film?
The standard warranty for SONTE film is 40 months from the date of installation. For the investor, this means several years of system protection and access to technical support if any issues arise.
The warranty can also be extended to 60 months, providing even greater protection for the investment over the long term. The warranty covers the operation of the film and system components, such as the power supply and control elements, provided the installation is used correctly.
What does service look like?
Service for SONTE film is based on a simple and predictable process designed to restore the full functionality of the installation as quickly as possible. The first step is for the user to report the issue, usually by phone or email. The technical team then carries out an initial diagnosis and assesses the possible causes of the fault.
In many cases, the issue can be resolved remotely, without the need for an on-site visit. If service intervention is required, a technician’s visit is scheduled.
