Exterior Films
Attractive, versatile and weatherproof
Continental coatings for building components have a modern look, a wide range of applications and almost indestructible material properties. Discover the extensive product range of the innovation leader for technical foils for outdoor use.
Continental Exterior Films feature the tried and tested cool colors technology. This reduces heating of window profiles, even when exposed to intense sunlight. Special color pigments reflect up to 80 percent of radiation in the near infrared range. As a result, the surface temperature is up to 15°C lower than with other coatings. This reduces the risk of product failures and premature aging.
Continental surfaces for outdoor areas are intensively weathered as part of long-term testing, and offer unsurpassed robustness and durability on the market.
Applications
Application for the industrial sector
Window profiles: Boring plain white plastic windows are old hat! Whether it’s a matt aluminum look or realistic wood looks: Continental profile foils make window profiles more robust and easier to clean, and turn them into a sophisticated design element.
Doors & garage doors: For a uniform view of the outside of the building, we also offer surfaces for front doors and garage doors. These are perfectly matched to our collections for window profiles in appearance and feel.
Façades: Continental coatings for outdoors also lend façade elements a special look, from technical to natural. They are maintenance-free, resistant to wind and weather, and particularly durable.
* Continental Exterior foils are intended exclusively for industrial processing. They do not have any self-adhesive properties, but are mechanically laminated. Continental provides suitable processing recommendations for all Surface Solutions.
Technologies
Technologies for high-performance coatings
Outdoor surfaces have to reliably withstand sun and weather for many years. Continental Exterior Films show their superiority here.
Thanks to the patented cool colors technology, heat radiation from the sun is largely reflected. As a result, the window profile remains measurably cooler, and the window remains dimensionally stable.
For extremely hot climates, exterior foils with cool colors PLUS technology are the right choice. Their special three-layer structure allows for even greater reduction in heat absorption, especially with trendy particularly dark window profiles.
Products
Design meets function – for every application
Whether aluminum or wood looks, windows, doors or façades, temperate or extreme climates: Our collections offer you exactly the surfaces that make your products attractive, safe and successful.

Coatings for window profiles and window frames
The use of window profile foils is an established standard among leading profile extruders and window manufacturers. Justifiably so, because the coatings make window profiles an attractive design element. In addition, the coating makes window profiles more resistant, easier to clean, and longer-lasting.
Window profiles coated with Continental surfaces are simple to recycle at the end of their life. Constant innovation, extended warranties on the market, as well as management, coordination and mediation of the RAL quality association have made foil coatings for window profiles an unprecedented success story.
Coatings for window profiles and window frames
Outdoor coatings are giving modern architecture completely new design options: Windows, doors and garage doors can be designed with a uniform look. With Continental Exterior Films for front doors and garage doors, a desired decor can be used for different building elements – without compromising on workmanship and durability.
Façade foil for customized façade design
The versatility and technical superiority of Continental Exterior Films aren’t limited to windows, front doors and garage doors. They also add visual accents, resist wind and weather on front façades, and extend product life – entirely maintenance-free.
Moreover, the ContiHome, the concept house from Continental's surface materials experts, shows how these advantages can also be used in popular tiny houses and mobile homes. Outside and inside, it uses only in-house Surface Solutions – livable, robust, smart and sustainable. Among others, the realistic wood decorations from our woodec collection and the trendy mattex designs stand out outdoors.
TSR test procedure brings the sun to the laboratory
With its innovative TSR (Total Solar Reflection) test procedure, Continental simulates the effects of natural solar radiation on coated window profiles in the laboratory. The calculated TSR value shows the proportion of radiation reflected by the coating. This method makes possible predictions of the heating behavior of profile foils without having to test every color individually in the laboratory.
