How Window Tinting Can Benefit You and Your Vehicle

19 July 2021 by Max Day

Automotive window tinting is popular on several different types of cars, trucks, and SUVs for many reasons. Sometimes it's to block out heat, other times, it provides privacy, or it could be just for vehicle aesthetics. Whatever the reason for applying window tinting to your car, there are many benefits to both you and your vehicle once the material has been applied.

Blocking UV Rays

Window tinting material is made to block UV rays coming into your vehicle. When the UV rays pass through the standard auto glass, they can be magnified and heat the car's interior very quickly. 

The UV rays may also cause damage to the car's interior and can possibly fade fabrics used in the upholstery, the vinyl on the dash and console, and even the carpeting in the vehicle over time. Reducing the amount of UV coming into the car can protect the interior, keep it cooler, and help retain the car's resale value later. 

These same UV rays are the ones that give people sunburns, so blocking them from your car will make it more comfortable for you and your passengers to ride in during the summer or anytime the sun is out and the temperatures soar. In the southern part of the US, window tinting can make a significant difference in the temperatures inside your car all year long and is typically more common on vehicles than in northern states. 

Privacy And Security

Another common reason for window tinting to be installed on vehicle windows is for the privacy or security of the passengers inside. People who are exceptionally well-known public figures or celebrities often have a hard time traveling from one place to another without being approached by people wanting to say hello or pass on some other message to them. Still, if the windows on their vehicle are heavily tinted, it can be nearly impossible to tell if they are in the car or not. 

The darkest window tinting on the market is often referred to as limo tint for this reason. It is used on the back of town cars and limousines used to transport celebrities and other important people, keeping them safe and making it extremely hard to see them while they are inside the vehicle.

Professional Installation

It is essential that the window tinting you are using on your car, truck, or SUV is installed properly to extend the product's life. The best way to ensure that the material stays in place is and can continue to do the job it was intended for is to have a professional window tinting shop apply the material to the windows. The tinting material will look better when it is done professionally and can increase the vehicle's value if you decide to sell it later.
