Tinted windows can improve the style and appearance of a car. It also has many benefits that improve the comfort and functionality of a vehicle. Keep reading for all of the benefits of window tinting.
1. Protection from UV Rays
Many people fail to recognize the health benefits of getting your car windows tinted. Window tinting can protect the skin from the sun, blocking 99.9% of UVA and UVB rays. These types of rays are the most closely associated with skin cancer. Ceramic window tints will not interfere with cell phone reception and can keep the driver and passengers from sunburn. Window tinting helps shade kids to make the ride more comfortable in the backseat.
2. Protect Upholstery
Extended exposure to the sun can cause a car’s interior fabric to fade. Not only can it fade but because the sun hits different parts of the interior, it can cause an uneven fade. Leather upholstery contains oils that keep it flexible and soft. Sun rays can dry out leather, causing it to crack. Vinyl upholstery can also be damaged when it has constant exposure to the sun, leaving spots and cracks. Not only does this diminish the car’s life, but it decreases the car’s value.
3. Insulation from Solar Heat
Summer can get hot. Cars that sit in the sun can be challenging to get into on a hot day. Window film can provide excellent solar heat rejection. The sunlight will not cause the interior to overheat. While window tinting shades passengers from the heat of the sun, it also keeps the air conditioner from having to work so hard. This can improve gas mileage and prevent wear and tear on the air conditioning system.
By insulating the car, window tinting also protects the dashboard, steering wheel, and other surfaces from heat damage, even if they are not exposed to direct sunlight.
4. Increased Privacy
Window tinting can improve the privacy and security of a vehicle. Tinting can keep thieves from seeing into a vehicle and spotting valuables that they would like to have. While the safest thing is always to remove valuable items from a car, sometimes that is not possible. Tinted windows can make a vehicle less likely to be targeted for theft.
A window tint can also add privacy to a vehicle. There are plenty of times when car owners would like to keep the contents and passengers of a car safe from other eyes. Having windows tinted helps to create a sort of privacy bubble for friends and family.
5. Shattered Glass Protection
A final benefit of window tinting is the protection that it provides in case of an accident. A window tint sticks to the window and tends to hold broken glass together in the event of an accident, thus preventing dangerous shards from flying around. This is an important safety feature since the driver and passengers will not have sharp glass edges in the car. Workers can also break windows to rescue trapped passengers without worrying about glass fragments.
A car is an investment, and tinting windows is a great way to protect the investment. From privacy to safety, the many benefits of window tinting make it well worth the money.
