What Are The Benefits?
Increased Comfort & Safety, Reduced Costs & Glare.
1. Solar Heat Rejection
Visible light you can see, and the infrared light you can feel on your skin, are both examples of solar energy. By using a variety of modern advancements (like mutli-layer film and nano-ceramic technology) we are able to help you reject up to 97% of the sun’s infrared light and reject up to 72% of the heat coming through your windows. Since your windows play a vital role in your vehicle’s energy efficiency, allowing solar heat to enter in the height of summer and radiant heat to escape in the winter, increasing their efficiency is key to improving your comfort and reducing your fuel costs. By far the most cost effective way to cut car energy loss is to upgrade your existing windows with the installation of heat controlling solar window film.
2. UV Light Rejection
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends window tint as part of a comprehensive sun protection program. This recommendation often comes as a surprise because most people think only of outdoor sun safety when they think of skin cancer prevention. While wearing sunscreen, covering up and staying in the shade are all keys to helping protect against the sun’s Ultraviolet Rays (UV) while outside, you should consider a more complete approach to prevention that includes protecting yourself and your family while in your vehicle, by installing solar window films on as many windows as possible. All of our window film lines block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, giving you peace of mind with your family’s long term safety.
3. Increased Fuel Economy
Any car sitting outside in the summer gets extremely hot. If you have a black or dark coloured vehicle with dark interior, it can feel 10 times worse than that. This is why most of us blast our A/C all summer long to reduce the heat and enjoy a good cruise around the city. It turns out, though, that keeping your A/C on all day can cost you A LOT of money in extra fuel costs.
Most vehicle air conditioners require engine power to operate. Of all auxiliary power requirements, a/c systems use has the greatest impact on fuel consumption. Using the air conditioning can increase fuel consumption by up to 20% because of the extra load on the engine. This phenomenon does not just happen in the summer. In the winter, vehicles use the heat from the engine to warm the cabin air. However, if the defrost setting is selected, the A/C system may also be engaged automatically to keep the windows from fogging.
Increase style while increasing performance, opt for advanced window films on your vehicle today.
