On a daily basis, we have a wide variety of customers that come into our shop. Some have been customers for years and they know exactly what kind of tint they want. Most people however, don’t know what they want. We’re here to help. At Solar Shield, we aim to help people make educated decisions.
What it all boils down to is the goal you’re trying to reach with window film. Why do you want window film? There are several reasons: privacy, heat rejection, glare reduction, UV protection, shatter resistance, or even if you just want your car to look more aesthetically appealing. Everyone has a reason, and once you narrow it down to your primary goals, we can move forward with different film choices.
First off, plain and simple, all of our films are 99.9% UV protective and any kind of film is going to help with shatter resistance. Security films, which are basically thicker and meant for safety, are going to help you with shatter resistance more than a non-security film, but either way, you’ll achieve your shatter resistance goal with any film.
Heat rejection and privacy are two goals that we hear most often, and it doesn’t matter whether we’re talking automotive, residential, or commercial. You can get more heat rejection in two ways: choose a ceramic film or a darker film, or both! Not only will darker films reject more heat, but they’ll also give you more privacy. You can have 24/7 privacy so long as there is a light source outside of your windows. Otherwise, most privacy films only work while there is daylight.
This is a pretty condensed version of how to choose a window film that is best for you. Our main concern is to get you thinking, “Why do I want window film and what kind of window film will help me achieve these goals?”
