If you want to protect the interior of your new car, or if you're tired of putting up with heat and glare in your old car, then window tinting might be the solution. There are options in tinting for automobiles, and a popular choice is ceramic. Here's a look at how ceramic window tinting works and why you may want it on your car's windows.
Ceramic Window Tint Is Made In Layers
Ceramic window tinting is a high-quality film composed of multiple layers that serve different purposes. Some layers contain ceramic nanoparticles that strengthen the glass, protect against scratches, and block UV rays.
One layer in the tint is responsible for letting in just the right amount of light so the windows are tinted while still allowing light to shine through. The bottom layer of the window tint is the adhesive layer that bonds the tint to the glass so the color appears to be part of the glass, and the film, when properly applied, is free from wrinkles and bubbles.
Ceramic Window Tint Blocks Heat Too
In addition to blocking UV rays and providing shade for the interior of your car, ceramic tinting reduces heat transfer through your car windows. This is a nice benefit during the hot summer months when you may need to park in full sun. This is accomplished without magnetic particles that are present in some types of window film. Magnetic particles are effective at reflecting the sun, but they also interfere with cell phone reception, so you may want to avoid magnetic window tints and choose ceramic instead.
Ceramic Window Tinting Has Several Benefits
Since ceramic window film is effective at blocking heat and UV rays, the interior of your car won't get quite as hot in the summer. This protects the vinyl, wood, and leather seats, dash, and other parts of your car's interior. The film also protects against upholstery fading. In addition, the film provides some protection for the personal items you leave in your car and carry with you on trips.
Window tinting also makes things easier on you personally since you and your family are protected from UV ray exposure when the sun beats on the windows as you travel. Plus, your car isn't dangerously hot when you first get inside. This protects your kids from stifling hot air and from touching metal parts of the car that would otherwise heat up due to sun exposure.
Ceramic window tinting is an excellent way to keep the interior of your car in good shape and avoid cracks, fading, and other deterioration caused by the sun. Your car's interior stays looking new for longer and it is also much more comfortable when you're ready for a drive.
