automotive tinting
How to choose your tint?
When choosing your tint, it is important to consider your priorities, such as heat rejection, privacy, UV protection, and ultimately, your budget. We have done the homework for you, so you don't have to, in the market there are multiple options of tinting available:
Regular (Dyed) Window Tint Film
Most affordable option, offers basic privacy and some UV protection but lower heat rejection.
Carbon Window Tint Film
Employs carbon particles for good heat rejection, UV protection, and nighttime visibility, often less expensive than ceramic tint.
Metallic Window Tint Film
Uses metal particles for better heat rejection than dyed film, but can cause signal interference and reduce visibility.
Nano-Ceramic Window Tint Film
High-performance window film that offers excellent heat rejection, UV protection, and clear visibility, while maintaining a sleek appearance.
Our recommendation?
Nano-ceramic window tint film, although the costing on the nano-ceramic window tint film may slightly be dearer, the benefits within the window tint film is forever promising! Let us explain...
We've created a comparison of nano-ceramic tint against the other types of film to help you understand the common benefits of the product. Buckle up as we dive deep, going on beyond the basic points:
Heat Rejection:
• NANO-CERAMIC: tint reigns supreme in heat rejection thanks to its innovative nano-ceramic particles. These particles reflect infrared heat, keeping your car or home significantly cooler. This translates to increased comfort, reduced strain on air conditioning systems, and potentially lower energy bills. • ALL OTHER TYPES: tint offers minimal heat rejection. It typically relies on dyes that absorb some heat, but a substantial amount of infrared heat still passes through, making the interior noticeably warmer.
UV Protection:
• NANO-CERAMIC: tint acts as a shield against harmful UV rays, blocking up to 99%. This protects your skin from sun damage and helps prevent fading of interior furnishings. • ALL OTHER TYPES: while some standard tints offer some UV protection, the effectiveness can vary greatly. Cheaper dyed films often allow significant UV rays to pass through, compromising both personal and interior protection.
Visibility:
• NANO-CERAMIC: here's where ceramic tint truly shines. Even with darker shades, ceramic tint provides a generally clearer view due to its unique way of rejecting heat without significantly affecting visible light. This translates to better visibility, especially at night, which contributes to safer driving. • ALL OTHER TYPES: tint can introduce some distortion, haze, particularly with darker tints. This can be a safety concern and hinder nighttime visibility. Additionally, some standard films block both visible and infrared light, further reducing nighttime clarity.
Durability:
• NANO-CERAMIC: tint is built to last. Its scratch-resistant construction makes it more resilient to everyday wear and tear. Additionally, the colour doesn't fade as readily compared to standard tints, ensuring a long-lasting aesthetic appeal. • ALL OTHER TYPES: tint, especially dyed films, are more susceptible to scratches and fading over time. This can lead to a prematurely worn look and potentially necessitate replacement sooner.
Signal Interference:
• NANO-CERAMIC: a major advantage of ceramic tint is its non-metallic composition. This ensures it doesn't interfere with radio signals, GPS navigation, or phone reception – a crucial factor for those who rely on these technologies while on the road. • ALL OTHER TYPES: some metallic films used in standard tints can disrupt electronic signals, especially for GPS and phone reception. This can be frustrating and potentially pose a safety risk if you depend on these technologies for navigation or emergency assistance.
The Bottom Line:
Nano-ceramic tint offers superior performance across the board – heat rejection, UV protection, clarity, durability, and signal reception. It's the ideal choice for those who prioritise long-term value, top-of-the-line protection for their vehicle or home, and a comfortable, safe driving experience. Standard tint remains a more affordable option, but keep in mind the potential downsides like lower performance and the need for earlier replacement, which can negate some of the initial cost savings. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your budget and priorities.

Glossary:
VTL = Visible Light Transmission,
a % that indicates how much visible light can pass through the window tint. In simpler terms, it tells you how dark the tint is.
TSER = Total Solar Energy Rejected
a measurement (expressed as a %) that indicates how effective window tint is at blocking the sun's total energy from entering a building or car.
IR-REJECTION = Infra-Red Rejection
refers to the percentage of infrared (IR) radiation a window film blocks. IR radiation is invisible light we experience as heat, so a high IR rejection rating translates to a cooler interior.
UV-REJECTION = Ultraviolet Rejection
refers to the percentage of ultraviolet (UV) rays a window film blocks. UV rays are invisible and part of the sun's spectrum. While they contribute minimally to heat gain (around 3%), they have other significant effects.
SC = Shading Coefficient
a measurement (expressed as a decimal between 0 and 1) that indicates how effectively a window tint blocks solar heat gain compared to clear, untinted glass.
SELECTIVE IR-R = Selective Infra-Red Rejection
refers to the ability of a window tint to block infrared (IR) radiation while allowing a significant portion of visible light to pass through.
GLARE REDU. = Glare Reduction
refers to the ability of a window film to lessen the intensity of bright or harsh light. This creates a more comfortable and visually pleasing environment
VLR = Visible Light Reflectance
a measurement (expressed as a %) that indicates how much visible light bounces off the window tint film. In simpler terms, it tells you how reflective the tint is.
