THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN REGULAR AND CERAMIC WINDOW TINT

Image
Regular window tint and ceramic window tint are two different types of window films used for various purposes. Here are the differences between the two: Material Composition: Regular window tint is made from a ceramic tinting combination of dyes and metal particles. These materials absorb solar energy and reduce the amount of heat and UV rays entering the vehicle or building. Ceramic window tint, on the other hand, is made from a non-metallic:  ceramic material that is designed to block out heat and UV rays. The ceramic particles in the film do not fade or change color over time, making it a more durable option than regular window tint. Heat Rejection: Ceramic window tint is better at rejecting heat compared to regular window tint. This is because ceramic particles have better heat- blocking properties compared to dyes and metal particles. Therefore, ceramic window tint can block up to 50% of the solar heat entering the vehicle or building. UV Ray Protection: Both regular and cera...

There are a few ways to tell if a window tint is ceramic:

Look for the manufacturer's label:  If the tint is ceramic, the manufacturer will typically advertise this on the label or in the product description. Look for terms such as "ceramic," "nano-ceramic," or "infrared-reflective." Test with a heat lamp:  Ceramic window tint is  auto tinting designed to reflect heat, so if you shine a heat lamp at the tint and notice that it is reflecting a significant amount of heat, then it is likely ceramic. Check the color:  Ceramic window tint is typically less reflective and has a more natural color than traditional metallic window tint.  If the tint has a neutral gray or charcoal color and does not have a mirror-like appearance, it may be ceramic. Consult with a professional:  If you are still unsure, you can consult with a professional window tinting company or installer.  They will be able to identify the type of tint and provide you with more information about its features and benefits.
