Tinted car window films are a simple and cost-effective way of dramatically enhancing the look of your car, whatever its age, make or model; and for improving in-car comfort and safety.
When professionally applied, modern car window films lie so smoothly over the glass, and make so little difference to your window thickness, that the results are impossible to distinguish from more expensively fitted coloured glass.
As such, car window films are now the smart choice for celebrities, professional drivers, and others who care about the quality and appearance of the vehicles they drive.
Amazingly, car window films have their origins in the successful coating of space-craft windows commissioned by NASA in the 1960s. It was from this specialist tinting innovation – carried out in order to protect astronauts from the fierce heat and glare from the sun – that the idea of applying adhesive-backed, coated polyester films to windows in general began to take off. Today there are more than 300 different types of window film in existence.
Tinted car window films not only improve the external appearance of your car; they also help protect the vehicle interior from the damaging effects of sunlight.
For the driver and passengers, tinted car window films offer much-needed privacy; and, more importantly, greatly reduce the sun’s glare – as much of a problem on a clear winter’s morning of course as it is on a summer’s day.
They are even known to protect the skin against the dangerous impact of UVA radiation which, rather frighteningly, has been shown to penetrate glass.
Furthermore, should any of your vehicle’s windows become damaged, the adhesive film will of course help prevent the glass from shattering.
It is important that car window films are always fitted by a professional, as this will ensure your car not only looks its best but also complies with the latest window tinting regulations.
