Continental films for outdoor use on windows, facades, doors and gates
Versatile and practically indestructible - this and much more is contained in the material properties of our Continental films for outdoor use. Today, builders, architects and planners can choose from a variety of colours, embossings and decors for window profiles, door leaves, garage doors and façade elements. This is made possible by the coating with weather-resistant foil, which not only enhances the appearance of the building element but also provides lasting protection. As a surface specialist and innovation leader, with our Continental outer film we have made a major contribution to the fact that foiling is becoming more and more popular.
Technologies for outdoor films from Continental
In close dialogue with the customer's technology and development, we tailor the skai® films for outdoor use exactly to the needs of the market. The patented Continental cool colors technology is still the benchmark today. Our far-reaching guarantees strengthen confidence in the performance of the outer film. In Germany, for example, more than 30 percent of window profiles are already laminated; in the rest of Europe, the proportion of laminated surfaces is comparable or even higher, and the trend continues to rise.
We also contribute our expertise to leading specialist committees such as the RAL Quality Association. We are involved in the expert working group and contribute to the design of future quality guidelines. But in addition to technical competence, we are also a leader in design: our innovations set trends for the industry.

Leading position in the market
There are many good reasons why we occupy a leading position on the market in terms of quality. One of them is that we often do more than necessary. All of our films are subjected to time-lapse weather simulation in complex tests in our own weathering center. The weathering performance of the latest generation of outer films can be rated around 50 percent higher than that of previous film types.
A total of eight xenon test devices are available in our own weathering centre in Weißbach. Here, up to 1,700 samples can be weathered simultaneously. Worldwide, we also weather outdoors at four locations - in southern France, Florida, Arizona and Australia. We regularly present the latest developments at the leading trade fairs in Germany and abroad. We visit the most important congresses and conferences and participate in expert working groups within the framework of the RAL Quality Assurance Association.
