The ultraviolet light that bombards your car through its windows can increase your risk of sun-exposure diseases like skin cancer and cataracts, degrade the interior of your car and make steering wheels and seatbelts hot enough to burn your hands on hot days. A popular way to block these harmful rays is window tint, which protects the inside of your car and provides privacy while adding style to its exterior. If you’re thinking about tinting your car’s windows, consider these four customization options.
Colored Tint
If you thought that gray and black are your only options for window tint, think again. You can cover your windows in a variety of colored tints from warm yellow to icy blue. Do you want a custom color to match your vehicle’s paint or interior? Many tinting services have the ability to mix any color you want.
Custom Graphics
Window tint designs aren’t limited to solid colors. Express yourself, complement your vehicle’s exterior design or advertise your business with graphic window tinting. You can choose from pre-designed graphics like flames, stripes and animal patterns or create your own design from scratch. A popular type of tint displays a graphic to the outside world but looks like a solid color from inside the vehicle.
Crystalline Tint
If you want the protective benefits of tint without darkening your windows, crystalline tint is the solution for you. This invisible tint blocks out ultraviolet light and heat without blocking your view. Crystalline tint is a great solution for drivers who live in jurisdictions that have laws against dark tint. It’s also an excellent solution for commercial fleets where safety and visibility are a top priority.
Reflective Tint
Do you want the ultimate in privacy? Reflective window tint, also called mirror tint or limo tint, is the darkest shade available. The high level of privacy afforded by this type of tint makes it a popular choice among celebrities, politicians and limousine companies. Because reflective tint is so dark, it’s a shade best used for rear windows only. Reflective tint can reduce visibility and impede the use of rearview mirrors when applied to the driver’s or front passenger’s windows.
When choosing options for your car’s custom window tint, always remember to keep it legal. Safety regulations regarding window tint vary by state, so research local laws before taking your car in for a tint job and only use a certified professional to ensure that your tint is installed correctly and legally.
