HOW TO CHOOS THE VLT OF WINDOW TINT?
- Local regulations: Different regions have specific legal requirements regarding the light transmittance of vehicle and building windows. For example, in some areas, there are strict limits on the darkness of car window tints to ensure driving safety and visibility. It is essential to check and comply with local laws to avoid legal issues.
- Function and need: Consider the primary purpose of installing the window tinting film. If it is mainly to block sunlight, reduce heat, and protect privacy, a lower light transmittance film can be chosen. However, if maintaining good indoor or in - car visibility is crucial, such as for driving or enjoying outdoor views, a higher light transmittance film is more suitable. For example, a film with a light transmittance of 70% - 80% is often a good choice for car windshields to ensure clear vision while still providing some heat and UV protection.
- Aesthetic preferences: The light transmittance of the window tinting film also affects the appearance of the building or vehicle. A lower light transmittance film gives a more private and sleek look, while a higher light transmittance film allows more natural light to enter, maintaining a brighter and more open feel. Some people prefer the dark and mysterious look of low - transmittance tints, while others like the light and transparent effect of high - transmittance tints.
- Environmental conditions: The climate and lighting conditions of the installation location should be taken into account. In areas with strong sunlight and high temperatures, a film with lower light transmittance and better heat - blocking performance may be preferred to reduce indoor heat build - up. In contrast, in regions with less sunlight or where natural light is highly valued, a higher light transmittance film can be selected to make the most of the available light.
What are the differences between different types of window film?
| Type | Core Structure Characteristics | | Applicable Scenarios |
| Dyed Film | Only dye layer + glue layer | 1-1.8mil | Low-end model, limited budget |
| Metallic Film | Multilayer metal + polyester substrate | 2-3mil | In high temperature areas, pursue high insulation |
| Nano Ceramic Film | Nano-ceramic particles + PET layer | 2-4mil | High-end models with signal penetration |
| Privacy Film | Dark dye layer + one-way perspective technology | 2-3mil | Commercial/luxury cars, privacy oriented |

What are the benefits of car window film?
Here are the benefits of window tinting film:
1.UV Protection: It blocks a large portion of harmful ultraviolet rays, protecting the car's interior from fading and the driver and passengers from sunburn and potential skin damage.
2.Heat Reduction: Helps to reduce the heat entering the car, making the interior more comfortable and reducing the need for excessive air conditioning use.
3.Glare Reduction: Minimizes glare from the sun and oncoming headlights, improving visibility and driving safety.
4.Privacy Protection: Provides privacy by making it more difficult for people outside to see into the car.
5.Enhanced Aesthetics: Gives the car a more stylish and sleek appearance, enhancing its overall look.
6.Interior Preservation: Protects the seats, dashboard, and other interior components from cracking and fading due to sun exposure.
7.Reduced Energy Consumption: Since it helps keep the car cooler, it reduces the load on the air conditioning system, potentially saving fuel and reducing energy consumption.
8.Increased Safety: In the event of an accident, the film can hold the broken glass together, reducing the risk of injury from flying glass shards.
9.Cost - effective: Compared to some other car accessories, window tinting film is a relatively inexpensive way to improve the comfort and appearance of a car.
