Visualizing heat rejection and UV protection of window tint

Most people think window tint is just for privacy or looking like a secret agent.

While it does look great, the functional benefits—specifically heat rejection and UV protection—are the real reasons to upgrade.

1. Heat Rejection (IR Blocking) in Calgary Summers

Calgary sun is intense. Ceramic tint blocks Infrared (IR) rays, which are responsible for the burning sensation on your skin.

2. Interior Protection (Anti-UV)

UV rays destroy your interior. They cause leather to dry and crack, and dashboards to fade and turn grey. Tint acts as a shield for your upholstery.

3. Safety & Security against Theft

Shatter Protection

In an accident, tempered glass explodes into thousands of pieces. Window film holds these pieces together, protecting occupants from flying glass shards.

4. Glare Reduction on Calgary Roads

Driving west on Glenmore Trail at 5 PM? The sun glare can be blinding. Tint acts like sunglasses for your car, reducing eye strain and improving safety.
