Window Tinting Can Protect You And Your Vehicle

By Jack Brolin

If you live in a hot sunny climate, you will know how painful it is getting into a car or truck that's been standing in the sun for some time. Even while driving, the sun's rays beat down on the car, making you and your passengers very uncomfortable. You can reduce this heat considerably with window tinting.

Most modern cars are fitted with air conditioning. But the air conditioner cannot function effectively in extreme heat, particularly if the car is sweltering when the air con is switched on. Tinted windows can stop a considerable amount of searing UV rays from entering your car.

Before going ahead with tinting, get clarification that your county or city permits window tinting. If so, find out what percentage of darkness is allowed. The tinting of windows is not permitted in certain countries. In the USA, a private vehicle is permitted to have a 20% tint, while vehicles used for commercial purposes are allowed a 30% tint.

There are many other reasons why tinted windows are so popular. Tinted windows allow improved visibility for the driver by eliminating glare. And of course lots of youngsters think that tinted windows make their cars look 'cool'.

Other people get windows tinted so that any would-be criminals cannot see how many people are in the car, and they will be less likely to approach it. But the most common reason is to keep out the sun's beating rays so that you are more comfortable. Window tinting will also protect the upholstery in your car.

Another advantage of tinting is that the substance applied actually holds the glass together. So in the event of a collision, or damage caused while driving in a nasty storm, the window glass will not shatter. This is another deterrent to criminals because they cannot break a clean hole in the glass.

During the tinting process, a thin film of translucent, waterproof plastic is applied to each window. Many home-owners are tinting certain windows in their homes. Tinted windows offer good insulation and will keep your home much cooler.

Tinted windows can also deflect the sun so that in summer a lot less heat will enter your home through the windows. In cold weather, a tinted window will absorb the sun's rays so that your home will be significantly warmer in winter. Windows in your home where expensive items and furniture are often subjected to sunlight should be tinted. - 21396
