FAQ
Switching from SunTek
Is Centurion a good alternative to SunTek PPF?
For many UK installers, yes. Centurion is TPU film with a self-healing, ceramic-infused top coat and a 10-year warranty, bought direct from a UK supplier with next-day delivery.
Can I try Centurion before switching?
Our films come in shorter lengths as well as full rolls, so you can test a film on a job before committing to a full roll.
Do I need to be trained by Centurion to buy?
Not if you're already an experienced installer. Apply for a trade account and tell us about the work you do.
