Does Ceramic Tint Keep Heat IN During Winter? The Insulation Truth

Everyone knows Window Tint keeps your car cool in July. But does it help in January? With temperatures hitting -30°C, every bit of heat retention counts.
The Science of Emissivity in Calgary Winters
Standard glass is a poor insulator. It transfers heat rapidly. That's why your window feels ice cold to the touch while you drive.
XPEL Prime XR Plus (Ceramic Tint) is a multi-layer nanoparticle film. It creates a thermal barrier. It reduces the "Emissivity" (E-value) of the glass, meaning it reflects radiant heat back into the cabin rather than letting it escape through the window.
Summer vs Winter Performance in Calgary
| Season | What Tint Does | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Summer | Blocks Infrared (IR) entering | Cabin stays cooler, AC works less |
| Winter | Reflects Radiant Heat back inside | Cabin warms up faster, heat stays longer |
| All Year | Blocks 99% UV Rays | Prevents skin cancer and dash fading |
The "Cold Radiating" Feel in Calgary Winters
Ever notice how the side of your face feels cold near the window, even with the heat on? That's your body heat radiating out to the cold glass.
Ceramic tint acts as a shield, reducing this radiant heat loss. It makes the car feel warmer, even if the air temperature is the same.
