Have you ever climbed into a scorching hot car after it’s been baking in the summer sun? The scorching leather seat, the stifling air, the feeling like you’re trapped in a furnace – not exactly how you want to start your drive. Or maybe you’ve experienced the annoyance of blinding sunlight reflecting off the road, making it difficult to see and forcing you to squint. Sure, car tint can add a sleek, stylish touch to your car, but its benefits go way beyond aesthetics.
It’s like a superhero for your vehicle, offering a shield against the sun’s harsh rays and creating a more comfortable, safer driving experience. Today, we’re diving deeper than just looks to reveal the top 3 superpowers of automotive window tint that might surprise you.
After The Great Looks, Here Are 3 Reasons To Consider Car Window Tint
- Improved Interior Comfort – We have all likely felt uncomfortable in a vehicle. Usually this discomfort is caused by excessive heat and / or glare. A properly selected window film can dramatically reduce the heat entering the vehicle cabin through the glass. In addition, like a great pair of sunglasses, window film can reduce glare and help ease eye strain.
- Cut Harmful UV Rays – While most of us would not think about spending a significant amount of time in the sun without sunscreen, we expose our skin to dangerous UV rays in our cars each day. While it’s rare to get sunburned through your car windows, harmful ultraviolet (UVA) rays that contribute to premature aging and skin cancer can still reach you. Most automotive window films block 99%+ of harmful UV rays from passing through the glass. Check out an informative link on this topic from The Skin Cancer Foundation by clicking HERE.
- Increased Safety – Safety is one benefit many people don’t think of when it comes to vehicle window tint, but maybe they should. An article in The News Wheel discusses this by saying, “Tinted windows protect the glass from shattering in case of an accident. The tint film is a laminate, and when applied to the cars window, it holds the glass window together and provides an entirely sealed unit. In the event of an accident or window breakage, the film holds the glass firmly, preventing it from shattering. Without the tint, the glass can easily shatter and spray flying pieces at occupants.“
