The Benefits Of Ceramic Window Tint

By Aimee Schwartz


There are many types of tints that can be used on the interior surfaces of glass windows. They can be applied to the windows of homes, office buildings and vehicles. This is done for a variety of reasons, including reducing heat and glare, privacy, protection against ultraviolet filtration and even for decorative purposes. Modern technology has resulted in the creation of a ceramic window tint that is more expensive than some of the other options but has many advantages.

These products consist of two sheets of polyester but it is what lies between these sheets that differentiates them. This may be metal, dye, ceramic or even a combination of materials. Each materials has certain benefits and disadvantages. For example, metallic film does not offer as much protection and tends to cause interference with radio signals. When dyes are used, discoloration is a common problem. Both of these problems are no longer experienced with a ceramic product.

The absence of metal also means that it has no reflective properties. Glare is reduced and visibility is increased. It also means that the glass appears only a few shades darker, something that is important as all states have regulations about color, light transmission and reflectivity. Appearance and style are also important to owners, some of whom do not like the shiny appearance of a metallic product.

One of the main reasons for installing tints in vehicles is to keep the interior cool on hot days. The film blocks out visual and infrared rays and certain products are better at doing this than others. Some block the rays very effectively, keeping the interior comfortably cool at all times. In homes, buildings and vehicles this can reduce the need for air-conditioning.

Consciousness about the damage that can be caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation has increased over the years. These UV rays have been proved to cause damage to skin. They also cause fading of fabrics and even leather seats and dashboards are affected. For protection against this kind of damage, the more UV rays blocked out, the better.

Going with a higher quality product that costs more is usually a better decision. Inferior products can cause problems like cracking, fading, bubbling, discoloring and peeling. This is even more likely if you install it yourself instead of using a trained installer with plenty of experience.

These high quality products obviously cost more. However, this extra expense is often far outweighed by the benefits. They have more strength and are even able to hold shattered glass together, making them safer than those of inferior quality. They last much longer and they are also far more efficient.

There are so many different tints available, made of a range of materials and coming in various colors. Cost of installation will vary according to which type chosen, the surface to which it will be applied and the expertise of an installer. Choosing an inferior quality product can be counterproductive. A high quality one ensures great effectiveness as well as durability.
