Tinted Car Windows

​If you are not a car junkie, there may be a lot of things about the car that will make you wonder.  One of those things is car tint.  It's one of the questions I always hear from car novices.  What is the tint for?  What does it really do?  If you want to know all about car tints, you've come to the right place.
​What is car tint?
It is a layer in your car window that limits the amount of light that can enter.  There are 2 main types of tint, but both of them have the same purpose.  The standard term used here is VLT (Visible Light Transference).  VLT is measured in terms of percentage of light it permits to transfer.  So the higher the percentage, the higher lighter the shade.  The usual standard will range from 74%-85%, however each state will have different laws.

Are there different types?
There are 2 different types of car tint.  They differ in the manner of application.  
  • Factory Tint  - It is called factory tint since it is done in the factory.  A dye is applied onto the glass window to darken its shade before the car leaves manufacturing.  This will range around the 74%-85% VLT.  
  • Film Tint - This is done by the car owner after the purchase.  It is a prerogative of the owner if you want a darker shade for your tint.  It is called film tint since a film is applied on the window.  There is a wide range of VLT options for this.  It really depends on the car owner which one to install. 

Why are they important?
The question now is, why would you want to darken your windows?  The main reasons for tinting is to limit the light.  This includes harmful UV light.  UV light is not only harmful to you but to your car as well.  Prolonged exposure can damage your car's interior.  This will include the dashboard, upholstery, panels, and other car interiors.  It will cause fading, cracking, and discoloration.  

Another reason for tinting is to limit the heat from entering your car.  It can reduce up to 70% of heat from your car.  Especially if you live in hot weather areas with extreme sunshine, a heavy tinting can help a lot.  

Lastly, it contributes to privacy.  If you do not want the inside of your car to be easily seen, tinting your window helps with this too.

The main reason for tinting is protection from harmful light and heat.  But, it has other side benefits as well.  The same should be true with your insurance policy.  Not only do you get protection, but other benefits as well.  At Wellcovered Insurance, we aim to provide comprehensive insurance policies that makes your life easier.

Car tint is a layer in the car window that limits the amount of light that can enter. So it minimizes the effect extreme heat of sun. It also helps to block the UV rays of sun which causes skin aging and skin cancer. There are two different types of car tint. These are- factory tint and film tint. Factory tint is named so as it is done in the factory. Film tint is done by the car owner after the purchase. It is called a film tint as a film is applied on the window.

Car tint is a thin layer in a car window that limits the amount of light entering into the car. Car windows are generally tinted. Window tinting in a car is a process in which a transparent sheet of film is applied to the inside of the vehicle's windows to reduce the radiation and heat from the sun. By tinting the car windows, we are protected from the harmful UV radiation which causes skin cancer. Tinting also helps to keep the interior of the car cool. But if the tinting is deep, it can be dangerous as it can reduce the transmission of visible light through the vehicle windows while driving at night.

An automobile's tinted window is a great way to grab the attention. A tough quality window film can take your speed machine from standard to stylish. Window tinting has a number of advantages, including security, safety, and comfort. Glare is annoying and dangerous. Well, a window film can protect your eyes, reduce the impact of glare, and keep you safer on the road. A tinted window plays a crucial role in keeping your skin healthy by blocking harmful UV rays. Also, it can serve as an added privacy.
