FAQ

Ceramic Tint Questions

What's the difference between ceramic and color-stable window tint?

Ceramic IR film rejects more infrared heat (around 95% IR rejection, 66% total solar energy rejected) for maximum interior cooling. Color-stable film blocks 99.9% of UV rays and won't fade or purple over time, at a more accessible price point.

How much heat does ceramic tint really block?

Premium ceramic IR film blocks up to 95% of infrared heat and rejects 66% of total solar energy, based on published 3M spec data. That's a noticeable difference on hot LA days.

Will tint protect my interior from fading?

Yes. Both our ceramic and color-stable films block 99.9% of UV rays, which is the primary cause of interior fading and sun damage over time.

Does ceramic tint interfere with phone or radio signal?

No. Unlike older metallic films, ceramic film is non-conductive and won't interfere with GPS, phone signal, or radio reception.
