Window tint film is made using a variety of different materials, each with its own pros and cons. Here, we will help to explain the difference between ceramic window tint and carbon window tint.
What are the Different Types of Window Tint Films?
- Dyed Window Tint (Good) – Most economical window tint film. Dyed window tint blocks light rays and absorbs some heat. Ideal solution for those who just want privacy but aren’t concerned about UV light or infrared light rejection.
- Metalized Window Tint (Better) – Reflects heat using metallic particles in the film. A step up from dyed film, it looks a tad shiny from the outside. The major downside to metalized window film is it can interfere with cell phone and GPS signals.
- Carbon Window Tint (Better) – A step up from metalized window films, carbon window tint uses carbon particle mixed into the film. This window tint rejects more heat than metalized, without cell signal interference, and it provides a unique matte look.
- Ceramic Window Tint (Best) – The best results from a window film. Ceramic films use ceramic particles to reject heat, sun glare, and UV rays. This film offers the highest levels of all categories while never sacrificing visibility.
What Makes Ceramic Window Tint the Best?
Ceramic window tint films are the newest technology on the market. They are made using nano-ceramic technology which is nonconductive to heat and nonmetallic (no cell phone signal interference). The material itself simply outperforms all other films in laboratory studies in the areas of UV light rejection, infrared light rejection, sun glare reduction, and visibility. In addition, it adds structural stability to the window making the window more shatter-proof.
