The beauty of this is that this provides some privacy and helps with the security of the cat from thieves if they can’t see what is inside
Glare – By applying a glass tint will help to reduce both night and daytime glare.
Cooler – One of the main benefits that car owners gain is that with less UV and sunlight entering the vehicle, a tint can keep the car cooler.
It Looks Good – It is known that some people do see tinting as a ‘must-have look’ for their car. That’s completely their choice and opinion of course However, for this group of people, they feel that the car looks not finished and smart unless the car has that tinted finish.

What Types of tints are avaliable ?
Dyed film – is the most widely used type as it’s durable and the most cost-effective option. It will provide that tinted look, decent visibility and block a percentage of sunlight from the car. However, it doesn’t provide the best UV protection or heat resistance, and that leads to decolourisation over time.
Crystalline – has some of the benefits of tint – will block UVs and heat – but doesn’t have a darker appearance.
Metallised film – metal particles within the film will redirect light and aid in UV protection. This type of tint, which can have a shiny appearance, is resistant to fading, is durable and helps to strengthen the window. Be aware that this tint may interfere with phone and radio signals.
Hybrid film – great at reflecting heat and UV rays, is less fade resistant, is durable and won’t interfere with equipment signals.
Carbon film – if you want to look good this may be the tint for you. With UV protection, sleek appearance and offering great reductions in solar heat. Could it get any better?
Ceramic film – yes it can get better. This is the bee’s knees of window tint, offering UV protection, reduced glare, massive reductions in solar heat and good visibility. It does come at a price, of course
