The Science Bit:
Durability
(5 years Guaranteed*)
These use-life estimates are based upon accelerated ageing studies and
outdoor exposure, under conditions experienced in vertical exposure and
in "normal" temperate climates.
Note : Exposure to severe temperatures and ultraviolet light, as well
as conditions in southern European countries, and also in tropical, sub-tropical
or desert regions, will cause a more rapid deterioration. This also applies
to polluted areas, high altitude and south-facing exposure.
