How about tinted windows? After all, if you regularly tune-up your

engine, then your windows shouldn’t stay behind. We feel a window

tint or film is an appropriate enhancement that provides long-

term functional benefits.

What if we told you that the films have several safety features? Yes,

you heard that right. Beyond making it tougher for thieves to have

a peek, the tints make a world of difference. Keep reading to know

more about them.

What Are Automotive Window Films?

Automotive window films are super thin laminate films that you

can install on the exterior or interior of window glass surfaces.

These films have reflective coatings that filter the sunlight. Hence,

you are saved from getting roasted like a chicken on sunny days.

Besides, in the event of a road collision, tints help in holding the

glass together.

The main component that makes up the window film is polyester.

The films are synthesized using the base of polymer and several

other ingredients; thus, making the tints more impenetrable by

heat or UV rays.

Did you know: One of the prime reasons polyester isused for making window films is because it can bemade into supremely flexible thin pieces. They mayshrink overtime, but the tints do not warp easily.Also, polymer stays clear without internalimperfections. However, it becomes challenging foranyone to see through it.

Whether it is increased comfort you are looking for, blocking out

the sunlight, or getting customized darkness levels, tints do it all.

You can apply them easily and yet make your car look like a

million bucks.

We recommend tinting your back and side windows for increased

privacy and to limit the damage or discomfort caused by the sun.

Different Types of Window Tints

Your auto window tinting needs will vary depending on different

factors. For instance, if you live in a hot climate zone, tinting can

protect against the harsh rays. Here are some basic types of

window tints that you must know about.

Ceramic Tint

A high-quality window tint, the ceramic particles in ceramic tints

possess non-conductive properties. This tinting type is relatively

new and expensive, yet delivers performance like no other.

What’s best: You can easily block 50 percent of thesolar heat without obstructing visibility. Ceramic tintsare an efficient and effective alternative to metallictinting as they do not obscure signals.

protecting the vehicle’s interiors.

Crystalline Tint

Are you someone who would love to tint without making the

windows dark? We recommend using a crystalline tint. Why? It will

keep the solar heat at bay alongside the ultraviolet radiations.

What’s best: Your car will appear as is, without anydark windows. That means, you can fool everyoneinto thinking that there is no film at all.

Carbon Tint

If you like all things matter, then a carbon tint can be perfect for

your car windows. The carbon content in the film blocks more than

forty percent of IR radiations that cause the interiors to heat up.

What’s best: Carbon films prevent upholstery fadingand keep the interiors of your vehicle cool as acucumber. They save energy by reducing the need toheat during winters or cool during summers. It doesnot fade and is durable.

Hybrid Tint

The hybrid tint is dyed and has metallic particles. They provide

maximum positive effects, diminishing the negatives. The most

commonly used combo is grey dye and titanium.

What’s best: The combination of dye and metallicparticles makes the hybrid tint decently bright andnot too dark. It is not too mirror-like or reflective.The film blocks a good percentage of UV rays andheat, besides providing a great deal of privacy.

Metalized Tint

Metalized tints are quite similar to dyed tints. They filter out heat

by shining back. These films make use of invisible metallic particles

that block the sunlight.

What’s best: The embedded metallic particles in thefilm add to the strength of the window. It is high-shine and has greater scratch resistance.

Benefits:

Effective reduction in glare.

Efficient blocking of UV rays.

Highly effective in blocking the heat out.

Significantly higher shatter resistance.

Dyed Tints

One of the most inexpensive and budgeted tints has to be a dyed

tint. This film can block sunlight as it is made using multiple dye

layers. The dye prevents the entry of heat and absorbs solar light.

What’s best: With an opaque appearance, this film isa great choice for enhancing privacy.

Tips for Choosing a Window Tint

You have to accept that a window tint is both functional and

fashionable. It provides integrity and strength to your windows.

However, the market is flooded with multiple options that can

make your mind go into a tizzy. But then, what are we here for?

Of course, to put an end to your confusion and help you pick the

ONE. So, let us begin.

Your Location

Before you go ahead and make a call to your tint installer, consider

the area you live in. If you live in a hot zone, consider a car tint

that provides protection against infra-red rays. If you are a

resident of a cold region, then go for a tint that blocks UV rays.

Pro tip: During the humid months, your vehicle canturn into a baking oven. A parked vehicle can end upwarming up to 70 degrees. Go for Permagardautomotive films that will be your car’s shield againstrobust ultraviolet rays with its heat-deflectivetechnology.

Does the Car have Privacy Glass?

If you have a new SUV or truck or car, the front and rear windows

may have privacy glass. That can be slightly deceiving.

But remember that a pre-installed privacy glass may have a

darker tint but will not have the benefits of blocking IR or UV.

Hence, we recommend getting a window tint with protective traits.

Learn Lingos

If we ask you what VLT is, will you be able to answer? No! That is

because you are still not familiar with the abbreviations associated

with car films. Thus, we insist on knowing them firsthand before

you purchase. Let us clarify a few of them for you.

VLR is visible light reflectance. This one helps to reduce the glare.

The higher the VLR of your tint, the more trouble-free it is to view

during conditions of highlight.

VLT is visible light transmittance. A darker window film produces

lower levels of VLT. Thus, VLT determines tint percentage of tint

darkness.

Research Tint Laws in Your State

Like most regulations and automotive laws, there are specific

window tint rules unique to each region. Learn the laws of that

state where your car is registered.

Comprehend Your Options

Once you have understood the lingo and learned about the specific

laws, it is time for you to pick your window film. Choose the one

that gives you the best bang for your buck from the types we have

mentioned above.
