Advantages of Heat-Reducing Window Tint on your Vehicle

May 16, 2017 By staff 1 Comment

Heat-Reducing Window TintWestminster Speed and Sound has been offering heat-reducing automotive window tint to people all around Baltimore, Westminster and Southern Pennsylvania since 2001. From the beginning, we have always strived to offer the best-performing products on the market. While everyone knows the benefits of window film for a car, truck or SUV from a cosmetic perspective, not everyone knows the incredible reductions in heat that it can provide.

3M Crystalline is as Good as it Gets

Heat-Reducing Window TintIf you are looking for the highest-technology automotive window tint, you just found it. 3M invented window film all the way back in 1966, way before anyone was thinking about tinting the windows on their Chevelles or Mustangs. Crystalline film is made up of over 200 layers in a product thinner than a Post-It note. Most films are two layers, so you can already see the first difference.

You are reading this article to learn about the heat-reducing benefits of window film, so let’s get to it. Crystalline blocks 97% of the sun’s infra-red heat and has a total energy reduction of up to 60%. Do you remember walking out to your car on a hot sunny day and opening the door? What happened next? You felt the rush of hot air escaping and dreaded getting into the vehicle. A 97% reduction in infra-red heat sounds pretty good right about now, eh?

Dark Matter is the Highest-technology Carbon Film Available

Westminster Speed & Sound is pleased to be a dealer for Geoshield Dark Matter film, which also has impressive heat-reduction benefits. While it doesn’t have the incredible technology of Crystalline, you could consider it the second-best window film on the market. It is available in darker colors and is a more-affordable option for people seeking heat reduction at a lower price point. We have sold this film for almost a decade and our clients have loved it.

UV Protection for You and Your Precious Cargo

Heat-Reducing Window TintEvery day, we seem to hear of another person getting skin cancer. Have you ever thought about how much your skin is exposed to the sun’s harmful UV rays over the course of an average year while you’re driving? What if we told you our Crystalline and Dark Matter films block over 99% of those UV rays? The Skin Cancer Foundation was so impressed by our 3M film that they list it as a recommended product to reduce the chance of getting this disease.

Heat-Reducing Window Tint Makes Trips More Enjoyable

Heat-Reducing Window TintWhen you embark on a long ride, wouldn’t it be great if you could arrive feeling more refreshed and with more energy? That is exactly what happens when you add one of our heat-reducing films to your vehicle. The temperature inside stays at a more-consistent level and your skin doesn’t feel the heat from the sun any longer. Your clothes won’t be sticky from sweat, your makeup won’t run and the climate control system in your car won’t have to work as hard.

    There really are a lot of advantages to tinting your car’s windows that not a lot of people think about. In particular, I am glad that the article brings up heat-reduction as one of the big ones. After all, no one wants to go on a summer road trip if the car is practically baking whenever you get out of it.
