There are several types of window tinting films available for your automobile, home or business. They can vary according to quality, pricing and the techniques and technology used to create them. Different brands also offer varying protections from UV light and heat as well as different levels of density.
Learning about the different films and their applications can help you make an informed decision. Your local window tint installer can answer any questions that you may have.
COLORED OR DYED
Colored or dyed window film is commonly used for automobiles and outdoor vehicles. When it is produced, color is added in during the melting and stretching process. This type of film absorbs heat rather than deflecting it. One of the reasons that it's preferred on cars is for security purposes. When it is applied to the windows of a vehicle, it can make it difficult to see inside and identify valuables.
METALIZED
Aluminum, copper, nickel and other metals are infused into this type of film on an atomic level and the metal is evenly distributed throughout. Metalized tint can also be referred to as "sputtered" film. This type of tint film is used for homes and businesses because it deflects heat and UV rays and decreases sun damage to furnishings or merchandise.
DEPOSITED
Deposited films also use metals, mainly nickel and aluminum. The choices of metals for this kind of tint is limited and it is designed for heat reduction.
HYBRID
Hybrid films combine the heat reduction and the absorptive qualities of both colored and metalized films. By combining the two types, it will have a lighter tint, but will still be able to deflect heat.
CERAMIC
Ceramic films are created using cutting-edge technology. This film can actually strengthen glass using nanotechnology and can help to protect windows in storm conditions. It is one of the more expensive choices of window film, but it is also the most durable.
Discuss the different types of window film that are available with your tint installers. They can suggest quality products that will suit your needs. Depending on whether you are tinting the windows of an automobile, home or business, you should consider the advantages and disadvantages of each and also how your choice will fit into your budget. Making the right choice can ensure that you are happy with the outcome and you enjoy your tinting for a long time to come.
