Ceramic window tint

Same shade. Half the heat.

A ceramic film looks exactly like a regular tint from the outside. The difference is what it does with the sun. Ours blocks up to 98% of the infrared, the part you actually feel.

What ceramic changes

Why people pay more for a film that looks the same.

Heat. Regular dyed film blocks light. Ceramic film blocks the infrared energy that heats your seats, your steering wheel and the air you breathe for the first ten minutes of every drive. That is the difference between a car that is bearable in August and one that is not.

Clarity. Ceramic has no metal in it, so there is no haze, no signal interference with your phone or your toll tag, and a sharper view at night than a dyed film at the same shade.

Life. Dyed film fades purple and bubbles. Ceramic holds its color for the life of the car.

Legal shade, every time. Virginia caps the front two windows at 50% and the rear glass at 35% on cars. Ceramic lets you stay legal in front and still cut most of the heat, because the heat rejection does not depend on how dark the film is.

Questions

The short answers.

How much is ceramic tint?

It depends on the car and which windows. Tap Fast Quote with the year, make and model, and your exact price comes back in minutes. No guessing from a price list that does not fit your glass.

Is ceramic worth it?

If the car sits outside, has a dark interior, or you drive it in July, yes. Blocking the infrared is the difference between a car that is bearable in August and one that is not.

How much heat does it block?

Up to 98% of the infrared, the part of sunlight you feel on your skin. Same shades and the same look from the outside as any other tint.

Is there a warranty?

Warranty coverage depends on the film you choose. It is written on your quote before you book, so there are no surprises. Windshield film and damage from something hitting the glass are never covered.

How long before I can roll the windows down?

About five days while the film cures. You can drive the car right away. Add next-day roll-down when you book and you can use the windows the day after.
