Three Ways To Enjoy The Benefits Of Tinted Automotive Glass

One of the best and most practical upgrades drivers make to their vehicles is installing window tinting films. These films come in a wide variety of tint levels and can turn an uncomfortable driving experience into a peaceful and comfortable one. If you are interested in installing tinting film on your car's windows, you have several options based on the laws in your state and the services offered at your local auto glass window tinting shop. This article covers a few of those options.

Tinted Windshield Bands

In some states, fully tinted windshields are against the law. This doesn't mean that you can't enjoy some of the benefits of automotive windshield tints, though. Even states with strict laws, like California, usually allow drivers to install a band of tinting film across the top of the windshield. This tinted band blocks some UV radiation from hitting your face, which can keep your skin healthier. It can also reduce eye strain, especially for drivers who drive around sunrise and sunset on a regular basis. When installing a tinted windshield band, make sure to look up the exact laws in your area so you can maximize the width and tint level of the film.

Nearly Clear UV-Blocking Films

Not all window tinting films are dark. Some modern tinting films are almost clear. These films are designed to bypass some of the stricter laws about automotive window tinting, and although they don't block much visible light, they do block UV radiation. Some of the top clear tinting films block as much as 99 percent of UV radiation from entering the vehicle through the windshield or windows. Although this won't do much to reduce eye strain when driving near sunrise or sunset, it will protect your skin and the interior of your vehicle from sun damage.

Tinted Side Windows

Even in states that don't allow windshield tints, tinting side windows is typically allowed. Tinting your vehicle's side windows is a great way to reduce the amount of UV radiation, and its associated heat, that enters your vehicle. A vehicle with tinted windows will be cooler than one without window tints, so you and your passengers can stay comfortable even in the heat of the summer. As an added bonus, dark window tints can reduce theft by keeping potential thieves from seeing valuables stashed in your vehicle.
