Carbon vs Ceramic Tint Film

Of all the different types of window films available, generally it narrows down to the following types. Here is a brief definition of the main differences between these window film materials and the rating indicator from good to best.

• Dyed Window Tint (Good) – Most economical window tint film. Dyed window tint blocks light rays and absorbs some heat. Ideal solution for those who just want privacy but aren’t concerned about UV light or infrared light rejection.
• Metalized Window Tint (Better) – Reflects heat using metallic particles in the film. A step up from dyed film, it looks a tad shiny from the outside. The major downside to metalized window film is it can interfere with cell phone and GPS signals.
• Carbon Window Tint (Better) – A step up from metalized window films, carbon window tint uses carbon particle mixed into the film. This window tint rejects more heat than metalized, without cell signal interference, and it provides a unique matte look.
• Ceramic Window Tint (Best) – The best results from a window film. Ceramic films use ceramic particles to reject heat, sun glare, and UV rays. This film offers the highest levels of all categories while never sacrificing visibility.
