How Does Window Tinting Benefit Your Car in the Summer?
Nothing is more unpleasant for a driver than climbing into a car that’s been sitting in the full summer sun for several hours. Window tinting is a simple solution that will improve the driving experience for you, keep your passengers comfortable, and protect your car throughout the summer in several ways. Here are some key advantages to consider.
Reduce Heat
There’s a noticeable difference in temperature when you have window tinting. By blocking some of the sun’s rays from entering your car, less heat passes through the glass. This results in a more comfortable interior from the moment you enter your car with no hot surfaces — there’s no need to wait for the air conditioning to start cooling things down. You can choose how much radiation to block according to how big a problem heat is for your car. The standard is 35 to 45 percent, but premium tinting can reduce heat by as much as 80 percent.
Avoid a Faded Interior
Exposure to high levels of sunlight throughout the summer can leave the interior of your car faded by the fall. This is particularly a problem for leather, which can dry out and crack, but also for the plastic of your dashboard and fabric upholsteries. With window tinting, the interior will continue to look like new and maintain the value of your vehicle.
Drive Safely
Glaring sun through your windows makes it more difficult to see the road, which can mean driving becomes dangerous. Reducing glare will improve visibility, helping you drive safely.
UV Protection
If you’re driving for extended periods over the summer, you’re exposing yourself to UV radiation. You may feel protected inside your vehicle, but the fact is that if your windows lack tinting, it’s almost as bad as being outside. The more time you’re exposed to UV light, the higher the risks of serious health conditions, including skin cancer and cataracts, as well as premature aging. You may also notice that you suffer from sunburn or dry skin. Window tinting, however, blocks up to 99 percent of UV rays, significantly reducing the risks to your health.
