what is ceramic window tint
We sat down with Tempe Window Tinting Solution a mobile window tinting company and asked:
What is ceramic window tinting film?
If you are thinking about getting your windows tinted you are probably running into ceramic tint all over the place, but what is it?
Ceramic – A new way to tint
For as long as tint has been around people have used dye based films. More recently metallic films were used, but it didn’t take long to discover the high metal content interfered with radio and cell signals, and was highly reflective. Some hybrids of dye and metallic tints have come to market since then, but nothing has really shaken anything up as much as ceramic. Ceramic window tinting film is a completely new product that is made possible due to advances in nano technology! It has benefits that go beyond any product on the market in every area and even has some extra benefits other types of tint could never have.
Ceramic is such a great product because it is superior in every way. Ceramic window tinting film is more durable, better at blocking heat, and just as effective at filtering UV radiation. It can go just as dark as any tint on the market and instead of having a life span of 5-10 years it will virtually last forever. When you look at the heat rejection rating, ceramic can achieve 80% rejection. Any other film needs multiple lawyers to achieve what ceramic film can do in one or two. Its durability also makes your home or vehicle safer, by making your windows harder to break. Could come in handy when encountering a stray golf ball too.
Ceramic has swept its competition in almost every area but one. Price. The reason for this is simple. It is the best product on the market and totally worth the investment, but this can make it a little more unattainable for some people.
If you want the best tint you can get and are willing to spend the money, ceramic window tint is the way to go. Just make sure you have it properly installed by a professional to ensure your investment is protected by warranty and installed correctly.
If ceramic window tint doesn’t sound like the option for you there are many different kinds of window tinting films that are great products and are more affordable. These window tinting films have been the industry standard for years and still great choices(h1)
Is Ceramic Window Tint Worth it?
If you have been thinking about tinting your windows, then no doubt you have seen the new ceramic options most companies are offering now.
Just like you, I asked myself “Is ceramic window tint worth it?” To find my answer I decided to do a little research on the subject, and then get the tint myself so I could report back my results to you! What Does Ceramic Window Tint Do Better Than Regular Tint?It turns out that Ceramic window tint claims to be better in almost every way. Now I will explain how this actually turned out with my results below, but on paper this stuff is awesome! It is more durable than the plastic and metallic stuff. It has one of the highest heat rejection ratings I have ever seen. 3M’s ceramic window tint runs at 80% heat rejection. I live in Phoenix, AZ so that is drool worthy in itself. It is also like getting a screen protector on your windows. The ceramic hold everything together better. So that means anything, or anyone, trying to smash your window is going to have a hard time. Extra security and protection from those rocks flinging at you on the road, or that stray golf ball in the parking lot. So is it actually worth it in practice? Let’s find out: Getting Ceramic Window Tint on my Car It looked pretty cool from my research but the proof is in the pudding! Here is the process of getting my vehicle tinted with ceramic window tint. It was actually a fairly easy process, as I found a great mobile tinting company to come out to me for the install. Hiring the right company In construction they say, “Measure twice and cut once”. I don’t like to waste my time on “the cheapest” because I want it done right the first time. I’ve had some buddies try to apply tint themselves in the past and it didn’t go well, so I went to the pros at (enter business name) and they took great care of me! Plus their work comes with a lifetime warranty! Can’t beat that.
Applying the ceramic window tint The process is pretty much the same as getting regular tint installed. I had existing tint on my car that was a little older so they removed that for me, and started applying the ceramic stuff. The removal brought the price up a bit, and I also had them redo my sun roof, but it wasn’t too bad. It took the Tech about three and a half hours to do the whole job. I’m sure the removal had something to do with that! Same as any kind of tint you can’t get a car wash or roll down your windows for a few days. Then you are good to go!All in all, it was a super easy experience! The Result it’s been a few days now. I ran my car through the car wash just to make sure it was really setting in 3 days and had no issues. I leave my car out in the sun all the time, as I do not have a garage to park in and the results are amazing. When I get in my car it feels like it has been parked in the shade even in direct sunlight! The ceramic stuff just looks cool too. I don’t know what it is, but I love looking at my car now. It doesn’t take nearly as long to cool off my car with the A/C, so I have been using that less. So an extra bonus is I’m saving on overworking my car and cutting down on the gas I use. I’m extremely happy with it and it was worth every penny!
