How Window Tinting Works

Window Tinting & U.V. Protection

Tinting Your Car For Heat Rejection

Very dark tints are often produced by adding dye to the lamination process (usually mixed in with the bonding adhesive) giving the appearance of a darker look and a more dominant glare reduction. The down side to this process, is that often the dye, made up of blue, yellow & red dyes to produce black, will be affected over time by the suns U.V. radiation, causing the yellow dye to fade away faster than the blue and red. This causes what is often seen on older style cars that appear to have purple coloured tinting.

The introduction of nanotechnology to the window film industry has lead to many breakthroughs in recent years, allowing films that are virtually transparent to offer better heat reduction than much darker films through ‘spectral selection’. This technology allows the film to prevent only certain parts of the total light spectrum to pass through the film. By blocking 99% of U.V. rays, and a large percentage of the Infra Red radiation, this new breed of film is capable of allowing a large amount of visible light to be transmitted while still being able to leave the room, or car very cool inside. Come in and see us for a demonstration.

It is important to remember that the only product or technology on the planet that can make your car space cold is air conditioning, window tints will help to minimise heat entering your space and help to minimise or slow down the heating up process
