Let's begin by discussing why you may want to consider car window tinting. Firstly, many people have their windows tinted for added privacy. Depending on how dark you choose to go, car window tinting can provide you with the ability to see out of your car, without allowing people to see in. While privacy is nice, window tinting can, more importantly, help to block the sun's rays from damaging your car. Just as the sun's rays can be damaging to our skin, they can also be damaging to our car, often causing premature aging. Having your windows tinted can help to prevent this damage from occurring, allowing you to keep your car in great condition.
So, what are your options? When it comes to car window tinting, there are four main types of window tinting film to choose from. These include dyed tinting, deposited tinting, sputtered tinting, and hybrid tinting. The difference between each lies in the way they are made and the darkness of the tint. Let's take a look at each.
When it comes to window tinting, dyed tinting means that the film used on the window is coated in a dye. This dye absorbs heat, transfers it to the window, and is dispersed. Deposited film is darker than dyed film. To created deposited film, the film is put into a tank filled with either aluminum, nickel-chrome, or copper. The tank is then filled with argon gas and the metal is heated, causing certain particles to stick to the film, and hence creating a darker finished. The process of creating metalized/sputtered film is similar to that of deposited film. It is, however, created using a larger variety of metals. Finally, hybrid films are made using a combination of both dye and metals.
When it comes to car window tinting, there are certain things you may want to take into consideration. Firstly, is cost. Depending on the number of windows you wish to have tinted and the type of tint you choose, the price of window tinting can vary anywhere from $40-$400. Before making any final decisions, be sure to check out reviews about the company that will be installing your tints. A lower cost may seem like a good deal, but going the cheap route with car window tinting often results in faded tints, failure to block heat, and bubbling.
In sum, car window tinting is a great way to give yourself added privacy while at the same time preventing damage to your car.
