Uses: There are many uses of window tinting, some of them are listed below:

• Heat and glare reduction
• UV rays filtration
• Thermal Insulation
• Safety and Privacy
• Decoration and aesthetics

The tint reduces the heat and UV rays from entering inside your car and keeps the plastic and fabrics in your car from deteriorating and discoloring. This adds life to your car’s interior and your belongings that you keep in the car. Also, the heat is effectively blocked by the tint and hence it improves the performance of your car’s air conditioner as well as reduces the fuel consumption by the AC. Window tints can prevent up to 80% of sun’s heat from entering.

The glare of the sun is usually very distracting to the driver and can be dangerous too. The front glass is thus tinted at the upper part to prevent this. For others too, the glare causes strain and fatigue to the eyes and can cause sunburns too if you’re on a long drive, this can be really painful. A tint that provides UV protection can filter up to 95% of the UV rays.

Not just that, tinting increases privacy as it becomes very difficult to recognize a person and his belongings behind a tinted car-glass. The tint laminate also protects the glass as the laminate can absorb more shocks in an event of sudden strike.

However, it is advised to know which tint is not allowed in your area since in some locations dark shades are not permitted by law.
