WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED WINDOW TINT?

Window tint is as beautiful as it is practical for both your vehicle’s protection as well as your own skin. When most people think of tint, they think it’s just a way to make your vehicle look more sporty or high-end. While it possesses aesthetically pleasing components and can provide additional privacy, window tinting is also a great way to protect your car’s interior, and your skin, from aging. Left unprotected, the interior surfaces of your car—the dashboard, leather, fabrics, and plastics—can deteriorate and discolor from relentless exposure to the sun’s heat and UV rays.  In the climate of Pennsylvania it is important to select a tint film that is highly durable and adaptable to the changes from season to season.  In the hot summer months it’s important to have high heat rejection because anyone who drives in the heat of the summer knows how unpleasant—or even impossible—it can be to get inside a car that has been sitting in the sun. In the cold winter months window tint can provide insulation, keeping your car’s cabin heat from escaping, and it can reduce glare and can even block the UV rays reflecting off of snow.

HIGH PERFORMANCE VS. CERAMIC VS. MEDICAL GRADE

Our High Performance Film not only looks cool – it feels cool and is the perfect marriage of value and performance.  The black color provides a great match to OEM privacy glass and remains the same over the years. It has a hybrid dye-metal construction which offers higher heat rejection compared to traditional dyed films with a slightly more reflective finish. It provides SPF 1,000 protection that blocks over 99% of harmful UV rays and although it contains a metalized layer it will not interfere with radio, cellular, or Bluetooth signals.

Our Ceramic Film gives you all of the heat and UVA and UVB protection benefits of window tint, but without the super dark look that can make it hard to see out of the car—or get you a ticket in some locations. Its nano-ceramic particle formulation provides SPF 1,000 which blocks 99 percent of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays and more than 80% of its heat and infrared radiation—all without the metallic ingredients other films use that can disrupt radio, cellular and Bluetooth usage inside your car.

Our Medical Grade Film provides SPF 1,000 protection that effectively blocks over 99% of harmful UV rays that can lead to skin cancers, premature aging and skin cell damage while blocking 98% of its heat and infrared radiation. In the past, keeping cool and protected meant darker shades, however, the ceramic technology in this film allows the highest performance without impacting visibility or light passage. The nano-ceramic particle technology does not interfere with radio, cellular, and Bluetooth signals like traditional metalized films.
