5 Popular Reasons for Tinting

Block UV Rays / Heat Rejection
Not only is heat an uncomfortable problem it can also be hazardous to your health. The health hazards lurking inside car interiors, where most Americans spend 90 minutes on average each day, have largely escaped scrutiny. Air quality decreases during times of hot temperatures because the heat and sunlight essentially cook the air along with all the chemical compounds lingering within it. Heat and Ultraviolet Light Trigger Pollution Inside Cars On January 11, 2006, the Michigan-based Ecology Center released a report entitled: "Toxic at Any Speed: Chemicals in Cars and the Need for Safe Alternatives." In this new report, researchers detail how heat and ultraviolet (UV) light can trigger the release inside cars of a number of chemicals linked to birth defects, premature births, impaired learning and liver toxicity, among other serious health problems. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (or PBDEs, often used as fire retardants) and phthalates (chemicals used to soften plastics) are the primary culprits. Part of the seat cushions, armrests, floor coverings and plastic parts in most car interiors, these chemicals are easily inhaled or ingested through contact with dust by drivers and passengers.
Aesthetics & Privacy
By now, you've probably noticed how vehicle's with great window tinting catch your eye. A majority of car enthusiasts admire and appreciate a vehicle with tinted windows. Aside from great looks, increased privacy is another benefit - especially if it annoys you when people peer into your car. Tint films are available in many levels of darkness, so it's easy to get the look and privacy level that you want for your vehicle.
Skin Protection
The sun is the greatest external cause of premature aging skin and skin cancers. Both UVA and UVB rays cause damage to the body, including genetic injury, wrinkles, aging skin disorders, and skin cancers. The most effective window tint films can block over 90% of UVA and UVB rays.
Glare Protection
Driving on an extremely bright, sunny day cause a big strain on your eyes. Driving for extended times add to the stress caused by sun brightness and glare. Reducing glare significantly reduces eye strain. The best window tint films control the entry of light by filtering it's level of penetration into your vehicle.
Protect Your Vehicle's Interior
Sun and heat fade fabric colors, deteriorate textile fibers, and cause leather seats to crack and shrivel. Darker colors and finer woven fabrics are particularly susceptible to the negative effects of UV-rays and sweltering heat.
