Benefits of Window Tinting
Window Tinting Increases Privacy and Security
Your vehicle spends a good part of its life in the public eye. And without proper tinting, so do all of your belongings that are inside of your car. Any level of tint increases your car’s security by lowering the chance of someone seeing your belongings.
Window Tinting Protects From Shattered Glass
In the event of a car accident or collision with an object, window film holds your window or windshield in tact, preventing from flying glass and from passengers being ejected.
Window Film Helps with Heat Rejection
We’ve all climbed into our car on a hot Austin Texas day, or battled with an air conditioner that can’t keep up with your needs. It’s awful. Tinted car windows can block anywhere from 35-65% of solar heat that turns your car into an oven.
Some people try to install window tint in their garage, and the results are a perfect example of why it should be done by a professional. Incorrect installation or the use of low-quality products lead to bubbling, peeling, and flaking film that leaves your vehicle unprotected and looking rough.
Types of Window Tint
Color-Stable Dye
Dyed window film is one of the most commonly used tints in aftermarket window tinting jobs. It blocks up to 50% of sunlight coming into your car and absorbs heat.
Historically, It’s been the most affordable option for car window tinting, but eventually the sun’s UV rays will break down the dye and the tint will need to be replaced.
The release of “color stable” dye has increased longevity of the film, and many manufactures now offer a lifetime warranty.
Carbon
Carbon tinting film is typically darker than other window films, and it blocks up to 30% of the sun’s heat through an attractive matte finish that won’t fade over time. Because carbon film doesn’t contain any metal, you won’t have to worry about electronic or radio interference.
Carbon window film is good for longevity, but NOT heat rejection. We do not recommend for high heat areas like Texas.
Metalized
Old School Technology
Metalized window tint involves several layers, including one made from metalized film that reflects some heat and up to 40% of sunlight. The metal particles also boost window shatter resistance, keeping you safe from broken glass in the event of an accident.
While metalized window film boasts durability—the metal particles tend to cause a dangerous reflection, and interfere with radio signals.
Ceramic
Ceramic window film works similarly to metalized film, but instead of a layer filled with metal particles, the ceramic film uses nonconductive ceramic particles that won’t interfere with electronic equipment. It also blocks up to 50% of solar heat while allowing maximum visibility, day or night. The main drawback of ceramic window tint is the price tag, but it’s worth it.
Compared to other tinting options, the ceramic film boasts the highest resistance to UV rays, glare and fading, and offers superior shatter resistance in the event of a break-in or accident.
Infrared (ir film)
Infrared window tinting film offers the best of heat blocking and longevity. Most ir ceramic films will block up to 97% of all infrared light, which is where about 53% of heat transfer is from.
53% of heat comes from Infrared light, 44% of heat comes from Visible Light, and 3% from UV. Other films only block UV and Visible Light.
The result is a much cooler vehicle interior due to the superior heat and UV blocking qualities.

Don’t forget the windshield!
The windshield is one of, if not, the largest window in the vehicle and its angle to the sky can allow in an enormous amount of heat and UV rays.
Many of the components in your car will fade, degrade, and deteriorate over time when directly exposed to the hot Texas sun.
Installing a clear window film will give your vehicle additional UV protection and heat rejection while continuing to give you the same level of visibility as before.
