Automotive window tinting is a globally popular vehicle modification, and in this blog, we’ll explore the various types of window tints, why they vary so much in price, and what makes our window tint stand out from other leading brands.
Window tint is one of the most sought-after vehicle upgrades, and it's easy to see why. Tinted windows not only enhance the look of your car but also offer numerous benefits for the owner.
Privacy and Protection with Window Tint
One of the most obvious advantages of window tint is privacy. Window films come in different shades, which are measured by their Visible Light Transmittance (VLT). This means you can choose a tint as dark as 5% (which lets in only 5% of light, offering limo-style privacy) or as light as 85% (which lets in 85% of the light and is hardly noticeable).
If you opt for a tint like 50% VLT, you might be looking for protection without compromising visibility. These tints are especially popular for windshields or other areas where you want some tint benefits, like glare reduction, while maintaining a clear view. Most tints, in fact, help reduce glare and enhance visibility.
High-quality tints, like ours, also provide 99.9% UV protection, shielding both your skin and your vehicle’s interior from harmful UV rays. This level of protection has earned our window films the Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation, and some doctors even recommend tinting for its health benefits.

Heat Rejection and Comfort
Another major reason people invest in window tinting is the ability to block infrared (IR) heat. Tints with higher IR rejection performance typically come at a higher price, but they can help keep your car’s interior cooler and more comfortable, especially during hot weather. This also reduces the load on your air conditioning system, improving energy efficiency, which is especially beneficial for electric vehicles. As awareness of the benefits of IR heat rejection grows, these films are becoming more popular.
Now that we've covered the basics—privacy, UV protection, and heat rejection—let's dive into the different window tint options we offers to help you choose the perfect match for your needs.
Learn About Our Different Window Tint Series
We offers 3 different automotive tint series, each designed to meet various needs and preferences. All of our tint options are available in VLT ranges from 5% to 50%, allowing you to achieve the privacy you want while considering the level of performance you need for your vehicle.
PRO CLASSIC Series – Our carbon window film, which offers a neutral gray color tone and is priced competitively. It’s ideal for matching factory-tinted windows, and while it offers less IR rejection than metalized films, it has the advantage of no fading due to the more stable carbon material used.
C2 CARBON Series – Our first ceramic window tint option, offering enhanced performance at a higher price point. C2 CARBON series uses premium ceramic materials, such as ATO and Tungsten, providing significantly higher IR heat rejection, making it perfect for warmer climates.
C2 CERAMIC Series – Our most advanced option, a graphene-infused ceramic window film that is the first of its kind in the world. Graphene, known as the fastest thermal conductor, enhances the heat rejection properties of the ceramic tint. With more ATO and Tungsten than our C2 CARBON series, and the added graphene technology, C2 CERAMIC series offers exceptional IR rejection.
