Everything You Need to Know about the Best Car Window Tint Options
Are you thinking about adding window tint to your car but unsure where to start? You want the best for your vehicle, but choosing the right tint can be confusing with so many options. Window tinting is more than just a cosmetic upgrade—it offers a range of practical benefits.
In this blog post, Pro Tint discusses the top car window tint options and shows why we’re the preferred choice for professional tint services in Salt Lake City, UT, and beyond.
What is Car Window Tinting?
Car window tinting involves applying a thin film to the interior of your car’s windows. This film can vary in material, shade, and thickness, depending on the specific needs and preferences of the vehicle owner. The primary aim is to reduce heat and glare, block harmful UV rays, and enhance privacy and security.
Benefits of Car Window Tinting
1. Reduces Heat
We all know how scorching it can get when a car sits in the sun for an extended period. Automotive window films have solar control properties that can significantly reduce heat gain inside your vehicle, providing more comfort for both the driver and passengers. This heat reduction can also improve fuel efficiency because you won’t need to rely as much on air conditioning.
2. Reduces Glare
Driving with glare can be distracting and dangerous. Window film does an excellent job of minimizing annoying glare entering a car window. This will improve vision safety and prevent strain on the eyes.
3. Blocks UV Rays
UV rays from the sun can cause severe damage to your skin and increase fading on interior car furnishings such as dashboards, seats, floor mats, and stereo equipment. Automotive window films help reduce interior fading and protect your skin by blocking up to 99.9% of the sun’s harmful UV rays.
4. Enhances Privacy and Security
Tinting your windows can also help improve safety and security. It’s harder for potential vandals or thieves to see inside a vehicle with tinted windows, providing enhanced privacy as you drive. Additionally, tint can help prevent injury by reducing flying glass if you’re involved in a crash.
5. Preserves Car Value
Blocking a portion of damaging UV rays will help preserve your car’s value. Your interior trim and upholstery will be less likely to fade, dry out, or crack. Your vehicle will last longer and potentially be worth more when it’s time to trade it in or sell it.
Not All Window Tints Are the Same
While all quality tints offer protection and comfort, they do not share the same characteristics. Some prioritize UV blocking, while others excel in heat rejection or scratch resistance. The materials and technologies used—such as ceramic versus metallic films—can also vary, affecting the performance and appearance of the tint.
At Pro Tint, we use XPEL films because they offer a balanced combination of these features, ensuring you get the best protection and style for your vehicle.
XPEL: Unrivaled Quality in Window Tint Films
We’ve seen countless brands of window tints come and go over the years. We believe our customers deserve nothing but the best, so we exclusively use XPEL window tint film products. With a commitment to quality and innovation, XPEL offers superior performance that stands the test of time.
XPEL XR PLUS
Pro Tint offers XPEL XR PLUS, which uses nanotechnology to provide best-in-class performance. This product blocks up to 99% of UV rays, reduces glare, resists scratches, and includes a lifetime warranty. XPEL XR PLUS leverages ceramic nanoparticles to create a darker, non-reflective surface that absorbs and traps energy rather than mirroring or redirecting it outward.
XPEL XR
Another excellent option we offer is XPEL XR, designed to enhance visible light while hindering heat transfer. This innovative product does not change the appearance of your windows but deflects heat better than many dark tint products. XPEL XR products deflect up to 97% of infrared and 60% of solar energy.
XPEL CS
XPEL CS is another fantastic car window tinting option. It’s essentially the classic tint that has been available for many years. From the outside, it gives the appearance of basic smoked glass, while from the inside, it has a subtle brown color. This tint comes with a lifetime warranty, including color change, and will not turn purple. While it helps keep your car cool, it offers lower heat rejection than the XPEL XR and XR PLUS options.
