Window Tint

When it comes to upgrading the window tint on your vehicle at Sharp Auto Shields, you have two main options: carbon window tint and ceramic window tint. Both of these tints offer unique benefits that can enhance the look and functionality of your car, but they also have some differences in terms of IR rejection, heat rejection, and UV protection. In this article, we’ll explore the advantages and differences of each type of tint, helping you make an informed decision about which one is right for you.

 

Carbon Window Tint

Carbon window tint is made from a layer of carbon-based film. This type of tint is known for its stylish, dark appearance that can enhance the look of your vehicle. Carbon window tint is also a great option for drivers who are looking for good UV protection, as it provides an effective barrier against harmful sun rays.

One of the key benefits of carbon window tint is its heat rejection. Carbon window tint is made from a heat-resistant material that is able to withstand high temperatures generated by the sun. This makes it a great option for hot climates, where the sun can cause your car’s interior to heat up quickly. While it does not protect as well as ceramic film, carbon film is a solid lower budget option for your vehicle.

In terms of IR rejection, carbon window tint is also effective. IR rejection refers to a window tint’s ability to block infrared radiation, which is the type of heat that causes your car’s interior to feel hot. By blocking IR radiation, carbon window tint helps to keep your car cool and comfortable, even in the hottest of climates.

 

Ceramic Window Tint

Ceramic window tint is made from a layer of ceramic particles suspended in a clear adhesive. Unlike carbon window tint, ceramic window tint is non-metallic, making it a popular choice for drivers who need to have their vehicles equipped with remote start systems, GPS tracking devices, or other electronics.

One of the biggest advantages of ceramic window tint is its heat rejection. Ceramic window tint is highly effective at blocking heat, providing excellent insulation from the sun. This can help to keep your car cool and comfortable, even on the hottest of days.

In terms of UV protection, ceramic window tint is also excellent. Like carbon window tint, ceramic window tint provides an effective barrier against harmful sun rays, helping to protect your skin and eyes from damage.

Ceramic window tint is also highly effective at blocking IR radiation. This means that it helps to keep your car cool and comfortable, even in the hottest of climates.

 

Which is Right for You?

So, which type of window tint is right for you? The answer will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you’re looking for a stylish, dark appearance that provides excellent UV protection, carbon window tint may be the way to go. On the other hand, if you need a high-performance tint that provides excellent heat rejection and IR rejection, ceramic window tint may be the better choice. Ceramic outperforms carbon in the 3 major categories, but with that performance comes a bit higher of a price tag.

No matter which type of window tint you choose, both carbon and ceramic window tint will help to enhance the look and functionality of your vehicle. So why wait? Upgrade your vehicle today and start enjoying the benefits of a high-quality window tint!
