How Window Film Affects Glass of Your Car

Designed to act as a barrier, car window can protect you from exterior elements including wind, rain and snow, while providing a natural view of the outside world.    

A car with untreated window, can absorb up to 90% of the energy which is transmitted through the glass directly. When solar energy or sunlight, comprised of heat, light and UV Rays hits an untreated window, it means you and your car are just baked like a hot dog.

On the contrary, once your car window is applied protective film like solar control window film, nearly 80% of solar energy can be blocked outside. 

The special dyes, metals or nano technology within the film, act as a solar energy barrier by either absorbing or reflecting a percentage of the energy from passing through the glass. The level of absorption and reflection is basing to what type and color of film you chose.  

For example, dyed film which has no metal can not reflect solar energy but absorbing. This kind of film can not control solar heat and light because they do not provide any solar reflection. 

While metallized or nano films provide both solar absorption and reflection. They work better than dyed film since their construction properties control both heat and light from passing through the glass surface. 
 
Just choose film matched to your personality and car. If you want to tint your car window yourself, you can go to a professional window tinting tools shop to buy cheap window tint tools.
