When comparing the value of window tints, it's important to take into consideration their strength and endurance against environmental elements. Durability in window tints is not just about enduring against environmental elements. Durability in window tints is not just about appearances; it involves keeping their protective traits that had you purchase the tint in the first place. You will also want to take into consideration heat resistance. What is your heat tolerance? You will also want to consider dyed tints vs non-dyed tints. Dyed tints will fade over time, whereas non-dyed tints will not fade. The life-changing impact of a premium window tint is truly remarkable to the appearance. Take thought on how the window tint will look from the outside but also how it will look from the inside. What kind of look do you want to see from the outside? How much light do you want to see from the inside?
Nano Ceramic tint creates superior heat reduction. It blocks out infrared rays without diminishing visibility. It’s very durable so it may last many years without any problems. Unlike other tints, Nano ceramic does not have any metallic particles so it will not interfere with electronic device signals. The tint is the most expensive but worth it if you have electronic device signals in your home. Nano ceramic tints will not discolor or fade over time. Carbon tint provides excellent UV ray protection and minimal tint fades than dyed options. It does not have a mirrored look as it does not contain metallic particles as other films may have. They offer a matte-finish aesthetic and extraordinary durability due to carbon particles embedded within the laminate. They are a good choice for long-term tinting. Carbon tint preserves your upholstery and other valuables from harmful solar heat. Like Nano ceramic tint, carbon tint does not interfere with electronic devices signals. Reflective tint adds more privacy to your home, more energy efficiency and a whole different look from the outside. This tint reflects the UV rays off the windows and gives a mirrored look from the outside. Your visibility from the inside will be pristine, giving more privacy. However, the way the reflective tint works is a 3:1 ratio of light to dark. Meaning that during the day the light is on the outside so no one can see inside. When it’s dark outside the light is on the inside of the home. This allows visibility to the inside of your home at night. Reflective tint is great for removing harmful UV rays that can cause your upholstery, carpets and other furnishings from fading. Sputtered tint provide a tinting range from 15% to 70%. It’s made of metal and ceramic, splattered over the film using gas such as argon. It is excellent at minimizing heat from the outside and protecting against UV rays and IR energy using its reflective outer and inner layer. The darker the tint the shinier the appearance reflecting more solar energy. Sputtered film isn’t as efficient as Nano ceramic film when it comes to blocking the harmful solar energy. However, it is a close second and as an added benefit its cost is lower than Nano ceramic.
