Types of Home Window Tint
Dyed Window Tint Film
Dyed window tint is one of the most economical types of film. Dye window tints do a good job of absorbing heat, but are primarily used for appearance. They are more typical on vehicles than homes and businesses, and appear mostly black from the exterior.
Metallized Window Film
Metallized film uses small metal particles that are naked to the human eye to block out heat and UV radiation. This type of tint is somewhat reflective but still adds a dark appearance to the exterior of the window. Metalized window films are popular for certain applications but can interfere with cell phone and GPS signals.
Carbon Window Tint Film
Carbon window tints use carbon particles mixed into the film, and are the next step up from metalized window tints in terms of quality. Carbon tints have more of a matte black look, and don’t fade over time like dyed tints can. Carbon tints give your vehicle an authentic black appearance while doing a great job of protecting against heat and glare.
Ceramic Window Films
Ceramic is the top of the line when it comes to window films. Unlike most other films, ceramic is not dyed or made of metal. Ceramic film works by using nanotechnology to combine many small particles to absorb light rays, preventing penetration, reducing glare, and cutting out UV rays. Ceramic window films are the most durable, having no fade over time.
