Although many of today’s modern cars come with a coating or treatment for safety and to block UV rays. But, that coating is usually clear or minimally tinted not particularly effective for enhancing privacy or blocking UV rays. Aftermarket window tint can dramatically improve your car’s privacy while significantly reducing your exposure to UV rays. We are exposed to UV rays while we are driving and that exposure can cause skin cancers, skin damage, premature skin aging, and sun-related eye disorders while also damaging and fading our car’s interior. There are many window types of window tint available, each with its own unique benefits. But, with so many types of window tint available on the market, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. In this blog, we will discuss the three most popular types of window tint: Regular, Ceramic, and Chameleon.
3 Types of Vehicle Window Tint
- Regular Window Tint:
- The most common and affordable type of window tint is made of dyed polyester which is coated with a layer of adhesive. Regular tint blocks out harmful UV rays by absorbing sunlight and heat, which reduces the amount of heat entering your car’s interior. It comes in a variety of shades, ranging from light to dark. Regular window tint is an excellent option for those who are looking for a budget-friendly option for heat and UV protection.
- Ceramic Window Tint:
- Ceramic window tint is made of both nonconductive and nonmetallic materials that are embedded into the film. This type of window tint is extremely high quality, which makes it more expensive than regular window tint, but it provides much better heat and UV protection. Ceramic tint works by blocking out up to 50% of solar heat, which means that your car’s interior will stay cooler. Ceramic tint is also highly effective in blocking out the sun’s harmful UV rays. Ceramic window tint is available in a range of shades, and it does not interfere with your radio, phone, or GPS signal.
- Chameleon Window Tint:
- Chameleon window tint is a newer type of tint that changes color depending on the angle and intensity of sunlight. It functions in the same way that other window tints do, but it makes a unique aesthetic statement. This type of window tint is more expensive than regular or ceramic tint, but it is a popular option among car enthusiasts who want to add a unique touch to their vehicle. Chameleon window tint works by using a special pigment that reflects sunlight at different angles, which creates a color-shifting effect.
