Automotive window films are double-sided sheets of polyester which are applied directly to windows. One side is adhesive, and the other is scratch and weather resistant. Window films actively either reflect or absorb solar radiation.
Not all window films or window tinting services are created equal. Some window tinting shops offer cheaper, dyed window films that look great on installation, but eventually turn an unpleasant purple color. Purple window tint is dangerous because it is harder to see through. When your automobile window tint turns purple, the film will need to be removed and replaced. If removed incorrectly, the film leaves a nasty residue on the glass. Cheap window films also tend to “bubble” over time as the adhesive fails. The State of North Carolina has many laws about window tinting, and we are here to make sure you are in compliance with them. Our shop only installs films which are fully compliant with these regulations. Make sure you do your research before choosing to do business with any window tinting company.
Metallic Window Films offer many of the same benefits as Nano-Ceramic Window Films. They are reflective both in effect and appearance; that is to say they reject solar energy by reflecting it away from the panes of glass. Unfortunately, they can interfere with your electronic signals - like cellphones, radio, Bluetooth. The film has a metal composition that can cause problems. If your car is heavily reliant on electronic devices, then you would be better off selecting a Nano-Ceramic Window Film.
Nano-ceramic films are the highest quality, dye-free, metal-free, and super durable option. They offer a variety of advantages, such as the film will not fade or bubble. They’re easy to see through, but they block more heat than other window films do. They’re scratch resistant and they look great. They don’t interfere with any RF technology, which means you’ll be able to operate every system in your vehicle even after applying the film.
There are many benefits to adding window films to your automobile. Direct sunlight and heat can cause damage to the interior of your car. Tinting your car’s windows with quality film will shield your seats and carpet. If your car does not have a shield against the sunlight, interior damage can occur. Faded upholstery or cracked leather seats can be attributed to this. Adding window films to your automobile can also help to protect you and your car’s interior from harmful UV rays. These films filter the sun’s glare and can reduce the temperature in your car on those hot summer days. All Pro Window Films also offers paint protection films. The film is custom fit for your vehicle creating a shield from scratches, dings, chips, and more.
There are three basic types of window films that are available on the market today. Dyed window film is the cheapest option, but it is not very effective in blocking heat. In addition, dyed window film tends to turn purple or bubble up as the layers separate from one another over time. All Pro Window Films does offer the FormulaOne Classic Series dyed window film, which is a very advanced version of dyed window film. FormulaONE Classic Series is backed by a No Color Change warranty. The second type is metallic film and it is a layered film. The adhesive, polyester film, and metal layers reflect more heat, and it provides a scratch-resistant top-coat. The film will not look metallic, but it creates a nice shine. The third type of film on the market is ceramic or nano-ceramic window films, and they use a high-tech reactive plasma process to add a ceramic coating to the window film. Nano-ceramic films are often classified as premium films, because of their incredible durability, heat resistance, and lack of interference with RF technology.
The biggest disadvantage of metallic window films is their tendency to interfere with RF signals. That means they can hinder your GPS, cell phone, Bluetooth, and certain RF-enabled systems in your car. If you rely heavily on these things or have a car with a lot of high-tech upgrades you might want to consider nano-ceramic options instead.
Nano-ceramic films are premium films, so they will require a larger initial investment. If you have a premium, high-quality car, this is the option that is worth making. We would not necessarily recommend this type of window film for an economy car.
