Will film cause seals to fail? 

Sealed unit manufacturers, window manufactures and builders have often indicated to consumers that the installations of ANY window film will cause or contribute to seal failure. While it is true that some window films are not suitable for sealed unity, there are many films on the Market today that are designed to be installed on these units. The Window Film Committee of the Association of Industrial Metallizers, Coaters, and Laminators (AIMCAL) commissioned A. William Lingell, P.E., and a technical consultant to the Sealed Insulated Glass Manufactures Association (SIGMA), to conduct the standard ASTM tests (E773 and E774) on standard sealed units with and without window film. Based on the testing conducted on these units, window film has no observable effect on the performance of high quality manufactures insulated units.
