Benefits of Automotive window tinting:
Heat rejection and a custom
look for your auto are the two outstanding reasons most people
consider auto window tinting. In the last few years several of
the major manufacturers involved in making window film have gone to
great expense in developing a product that gives heat rejection
rates of over 69%. These high performance products, usually
referred to as reflective, hybrid, metalized or metal films,
generally carry a lifetime warranty against turning purple, bubbling
and peeling, as well as a special scratch resistant coating.
The scratch resistant coating can protect your investment from every
day use of rolling the windows up and down. Along with the
enhanced performance and warranties available with quality metalized
films, you can also be assured of the great custom look window
tinting will give your car.
Glare reduction and
protection
from harmful UVA and UVB rays that harm you and your cars’ interior
are also excellent reasons to purchase tinting. Whether it's the
blinding glare of the sun or the friendly interstate tailgater,
tinted windows can be an answer to the problem. Medical experts and
auto upholstery technicians both have long known what the damaging
UV rays from the sun, even on cloudy days, can do to our skin and
auto interior! NO MORE - - today's quality tinting materials
eliminate up to 99% of these UV rays before they can get into your
automobile.
South Florida Mobile Works offers SMASH & GRAB AUTOMOTIVE films especially designed for those who frequent high crime areas, extra protection for your valuables, or just for extra security on your vehicle.
Security Tinting has always
been associated with increased security for your auto, what a thief
does not or cannot see usually will be left alone! Recently, some
window film manufacturers have introduced safety tinting that can
strengthen your windows to a point even a baseball bat wielding
thief will have a tough time breaking into your auto through the
windows. A somewhat overlooked safety aspect is in the event of an
auto accident, window tinting can help shattered glass hold together
helping to prevent it from spraying the inside of the auto with
sharp splinters of glass.
Last, but certainly an important consideration in your decision to purchase tinting, would be the years of comfort a quality tinting product will give you and your auto. Dollar for dollar, window tinting for your car improves the looks and protects your interior better than any other aftermarket product available anywhere!
Educate Yourself Before Buying
Every day thousands of people make what they
think will be a simple decision - to have tinting applied to their
vehicle's windows. The decision can quickly become complicated when
they start shopping around. To start, within many local markets, the
installed price can vary over $100 from one shop to the next for
tinting the same vehicle. Then there are the different kinds of
tinting from various manufacturers - non-reflective, hybrid, full
metal, titanium, stainless steel - with colors ranging from bluish
to gray or charcoal to the coffee brown found in bronze/stainless
steel tints.
There are also different installation methods.
Some shops leave a significant gap at the top of the roll down
window. Others leave a small gap or micro-edge at the top of the
windows, while other shops take the tinting all the way to the edge
of the glass when the window is rolled down. The latter method looks
much better, but can cost more because of the extra time involved in
installation. Rear windows can be installed in different manners.
Some tint shops do it with small strips of film (in pieces), some do
it in bigger pieces (usually two), but also create “relief cuts” to
accommodate the shape of the window.
South Florida Mobile Works does the back
windows in one piece and no relief cuts either.
This is achieved by carefully molding (shaping) the film to the
window’s curve without damaging the material.
One-piece rear windows can also cost more due to the extra time and expertise needed for this type of tinting installation.
The price each
shop charges for vehicles can depend on several variables.
Three of the most important are:
-
Brand Name
-
Type of material used
-
Quality of the installation itself
The major tinting manufacturers usually have
three different qualities of tinting materials available to the
local tinting shops.
The lowest quality is referred to as a
non-reflective/dyed material. This type of tinting, usually the
cheapest, has the shortest guarantee, and has a tendency to turn
purple and form bubbles over time.
Next is the hybrid or high performance tinting
which is the best selling product nationwide. Hybrid tinting is
referred to as a reflective product, but don't let the term
reflective confuse you. This type of tinting has a slightly
different appearance and color from the non-reflective. The big
difference is hybrid tinting rejects much more solar heat and the
product warranties are much better than the standard non-reflective
products. Most major tinting manufacturers offer extended or
lifetime warranties for the hybrid/high performance products.
The next grades of products are the relatively
new full metal tinting materials. They tend to be much more
reflective than the hybrids, have a very proximity to be like a
mirror, (but still legal in some states) Also these products usually
have the same or slightly higher solar hear rejection statistics
when compared to hybrid tinting materials. The warranties for full
metal tinting are usually lifetime and some include a clause against
fading of the material over an extended period of time. The higher
reflective qualities of full metal tinting products are
objectionable to some buyers. Care should be taken in choosing what
type of tinting material best suits your needs.
To make your final decision
on who will tint your windows, there are a
few questions you should ask your local
tinting shops. Based on the information found in this section, you
should be able to make an informed decision that will add comfort,
beauty, safety and value to your auto for years to come.
