We all know that getting your car window tinted is beneficial in so many ways. It gives you privacy, protection from harmful sun rays (which goes for both you and your interior), reduce glare while driving, and improve the overall look of your vehicle. But it still depends. Did you get the best one for your car? Here are the things that you should consider in case you’re planning on getting your car window tinted.
Types Of Car Window Tint
Window tinting for cars not only comes with two basic categories but the actual material to tint car windows has varieties too. Let’s break them all down to make it easier for you to figure out what suits your needs.
2 Categories For Car Window Tinting:
Non-reflective film
· Because of its solar absorption, it helps control heat and glare.
· Dyed automotive films, which are the most common and traditional non-reflective films, are great for increased optical quality and clarity through strong glare control.
· Unlike metalized films, dyed films are less effective in controlling solar heat absorption.
· In case of places where reflective tinting is prohibited or vehicles with navigational equipment where the reflective coating may affect its function and interfere with phones, radar detectors, or GPS, non-reflective film is the best option for shade.
Metalized film
· When it comes to providing privacy and keeping the sun from damaging and heating the car’s interior, metalized films are better.
· The downside of this type of car window tint is that there are places that prohibit it. So you may want to check on that before you decide.
Main Car Window Tint Material:
Dyed Film
Although this option might save you money at first, you’d end up spending more often though because it has the highest chance of needing replacement.
Carbon Film
You’ll have issues with glare and haze but since it a denser and stronger material with low discoloration rate, it’ll last you longer.
Ceramic Film
This one don’t have the same issues that the carbon film has, however you’d have to deal with oxidation and fading despite its high heat rejection.
Nano Carbon Ceramic
If you don’t want to compromise privacy just as longevity and good function, nano carbon ceramic is the one for you. It has both carbon and ceramic strong points with minimized drawbacks.
UV Protection
The UV rays aren’t just bad for your skin but as well as your car’s interior. So if you’re going to spend money on car window tint, might as well spend on one that protects you and your vehicle from it.
State Laws
Different places and countries have different laws. So before you decide to install automotive film here in Singapore, it would be wise to check their regulations on color, reflectivity percentages, window tint percentages and other features of window tint.
The Right Installer
Getting the best material is great, but making sure that you have the best person or team to install your car’s tint is even better! Because what’s the point of having the right tool of the one holding it don’t know how to use it right? Going for DIY may seem cheaper but when you’re not as skilled and experience for the job it would be best to rely on professional tinting. This won’t just save you the time and hassle, it’ll also ensure that the job is done right.
