Many think of window tint to improve their vehicle's style, and while it has that potential, there are other valuable reasons why you should be upgrading your vehicle's clear or factory tinted glass with professionally installed aftermarket tint.  

Whether your vehicle is brand new, a classic, a daily commuter or strictly for work, the perks that come with a quality tint are ideal for any ride. Shades range from a deep black to almost completely clear, choose a shade that suits you and receive benefits with any option. 

Let’s take a look at the 4 main reasons that you need window tint on your vehicle! 

1. UV Protection

Aftermarket window tint will block 99% of harmful UV rays when installed with a quality film. This is important not only for you, but for your vehicle’s interior as well.

Rear factory window tint, if your vehicle has this, serves only as an aesthetic, since it doesn’t provide adequate protection from sun UV exposure.

Damage caused from Ultraviolet rays can happen quickly - think of how fast a sun-burn can form. Without protection against UV, it won’t be long before you begin to notice fading or cracking on your vehicle's dash, fabrics, and other interior components.

Restoring those areas after damage is done can be costly, so being proactive with this is key to protecting the interior of your investment.

These same UV rays that are damaging to your interior will also impact you and your passengers.

You’re familiar with the importance of sunscreen before heading out in the sun, but applying sunscreen every time you’re going for a drive might not be realistic. This is why aftermarket window tint is a popular method to add protection for yourself and your passengers!

Get in and drive without worry, especially for those summer road-trip adventures. 

2. Driving Comfort

UV Protection might be a benefit that you don’t consistently “feel”, however, enhanced comfort from reduced glare and heat rejection is something that you certainly will. 

Attempting to drive while battling sun glare or opposing vehicle lights is frustrating and can impair vision with stress on your eyes.

Prolonged eye strain or glaring lights can result in headaches or migraines, especially if you already struggle with light sensitivity. 

Installing an aftermarket tint of any shade will help you reduce glare, but you can also look forward to a more comfortable ride with a cooler interior.

Heat rejection technology has become so advanced that you can reject up to 94% of infrared heat without necessarily having to “black out” your vehicle. The product and level of your chosen tint will determine the exact heat rejection amount, but considering the compact nature of a vehicles build, even a little goes a long way.

Time spent in your vehicle, especially on a hot summer day, will feel much more comfortable with the heat blocking technology that a quality film delivers.

3. Safety & Privacy

Reduced interior visibility from window tint can act as a theft deterrent, since peering eyes have a difficult time seeing what's inside.

Even with our lighter films, adding a tinted barrier makes it difficult to easily see what’s inside. This will prevent possessions from being easily visible which makes a vehicle less enticing for thieves. 

Window tint also adds safety benefits for you and your vehicle. In the unfortunate event that a window is broken, the aftermarket film will hold the broken glass in place, helping prevent it from potentially hurting someone. Or, at the very least, there will be less mess as the tempered glass will be held within the film. 

On a lighter note… with added privacy there is no worry about others watching you sing your heart out the next time you stop at a red light. Feel like you’re driving around in a fish-bowl? We hate that feeling, too.

Create a more private space with window tint and you’ll be driving and parking your vehicle without worry.

4. Enhanced Style

As we said at the beginning, one of the most obvious and popular reasons to add window tint to vehicles is for the added style.

With a range of different shades, you can achieve your desired look by varying the shades or keeping it uniform. Whatever your preferred look, window tint is a simple, quick and relatively affordable way to drastically make your vehicle stand out against others on the road. 

Receiving a professional film install also contributes to the sleek finish, ensuring the film is a quality product and also free of contamination.

Choosing your film installer based solely on lowest price could be leading you to either an inexperienced install or lower grade product. 

Inexperienced installs, either by yourself or someone else, can result in excessive contamination in your new film, or other common issues like creases or large gaps of daylight. Window tint is definitely not forgiving to hiding these defects, and they will severely hinder the appearance of a uniform look with their noticeability.

A lower grade film, even when professionally installed, may look good to you initially, but isn’t designed for longevity. Eventually, the film's adhesive will either fail causing unsightly air-pockets, or the film itself will fade to a purple or blue.
