Car tint is usually installed for one or two main reasons depending on the personal preferences and needs of the owner. However, there are many additional benefits to tint that not many car owners have considered and which make tint an all-round amazing idea no matter which way you look at it. Here are the top 6 reasons to get your car tinted:
1. Better Driving
Driving with the sun directly in your face isn’t just an annoyance – it can be deadly. Car window tint shields your eyes and prevents glare from all sources of extreme light so you’ll never be caught driving badly due to no fault of your own.
2. Awesome Privacy
First of all and perhaps the most common reasons is privacy. Tinted windows prevent (to a certain degree) people from outside of your car and other drivers from looking into your car. It’s actually a great way to make potential thieves think twice about their act. Leaving an exposed cell phone or a laptop at your back seat is often just inviting people to steal it. By tinting your windows you’ll feel at least a bit safer knowing that any valuables in your car aren’t as easy to see.
3. Upholstery Protection
The heat and UV rays from direct sunlight can turn your upholstery into a mess in a few short years, but did you know this is highly preventable? Car tint keeps your car interior from getting hot enough to warp, fade, or crack, and blocks up to 90% of harmful UV rays from entering.
4. Shatter Proofing
In case of a car accident the film can also protect your windows from shattering all over yourself and your car. The film usually holds the little pieces of the glass together even after the window breaks so in case you ever find yourself in an accident you’ll definitely be glad you had tint applied. It’s not something people usually think about in advance but you never know. Broken glass can get in your eyes or scratch your skin so it’s definitely something to consider as well.
5. Keeping Cool
With the right window tint, you can reduce the heat inside your car in the scorching summer months by up to 60%. Keep the heat out and never worry about pitching up at work drenched in sweat ever again.
6. Staying Healthy
There’s also a health issue. It’s no secret that being directly exposed to sunlight isn’t a very good idea. A quality tinting film can block 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays and keep your skin protected while driving. Driving in direct sunlight can even expose you to sunburns so make sure you keep your sunglasses on and use window tint for protecting other parts of your body.
It’s especially important if you suffer from any kind of sun allergies or other skin conditions. Depending on the state you live in there may be medical exemptions depending on your condition so you may even be able to apply more protective tint.
