Understanding Window Tint Percentages and the Benefits of Ceramic Tint Over Carbon
At Plush Auto Detail and Tint, we take pride in providing top-notch window tinting services for your vehicles. Whether you’re looking to enhance privacy, reduce heat, or protect your interior, understanding the differences in window tint percentages and materials can help you make the best choice. Let’s break it down.
What Do Window Tint Percentages Mean?
The percentage of window tint refers to the amount of visible light that can pass through your windows, also known as VLT (Visible Light Transmission).
- 50% Tint: Allows 50% of visible light to pass through. It provides a good balance of visibility and UV protection.
- 35% Tint: Blocks more light for added privacy while still maintaining decent visibility.
- 20% Tint: Commonly used for added privacy, often applied to rear windows.
- 5% Tint (Limo Tint): Offers maximum privacy, allowing minimal light through.
The lower the percentage, the darker the tint. It’s essential to check local laws to ensure your chosen tint complies with regulations.
Carbon vs. Ceramic Tint: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to materials, carbon and ceramic tints are two popular choices, each with its own benefits:
Carbon Tint
- Contains carbon particles that block infrared light.
- Reduces heat and UV rays while giving a sleek, matte finish.
- Does not fade over time like dyed tints.
- More affordable than ceramic but less effective in heat rejection.
Ceramic Tint
- Made with nano-ceramic particles that offer superior heat and UV rejection.
- Blocks up to 99% of UV rays and significantly reduces interior fading and cracking.
- Provides exceptional clarity and reduces glare.
- Enhances comfort by keeping your vehicle cooler, even in extreme heat.
- More durable and resistant to fading, making it a long-term investment.
Why Choose Ceramic Over Carbon?
While carbon tint offers good performance, ceramic tint outshines it with unmatched heat rejection, durability, and clarity. It’s the ideal choice for anyone seeking top-tier protection and comfort for their vehicle.
