Window tinting films are designed to reflect the sun's harmful rays on human skin, in addition to reducing the intensity and heat of the sun's rays and making the inside of the car cooler than if it is not tinted, which is very important in the summer, especially when your car is parked under the sun and not in a closed garage, and keeps the inside of the car warm in the cold winter weather.

There are several grades of tinting films according to the percentage of blocking it does for UV rays, in addition to the amount of light that will enter the cabin, i.e. the darker the color of the tint, the less rays that will enter the car, and the grade starts from 5, which is the darkest, up to the lighter grades to let in more light.

Prevents heat

One of the most important functions of window tinting is to prevent the sun's heat from entering the car cabin or reducing its temperature, as tinted cars are relatively cooler than un-tinted cars on summer days even when the temperature rises to very high degrees.

Car interior stays warm in winter

Window tinting preserves the car's interior temperature on cold winter days, as it keeps the car warm and you will notice this as soon as you enter the car, which is great on very cold days.

Protect the interior of the car

Window tinting can reduce the fading of interior surfaces, seats, and many other parts, and prevent them from cracking and damage, especially the dashboard that is directly behind the windshield, because it keeps the sun's rays away and prevents heat from it.

Giving privacy to the driver and passengers

There are many people who like some privacy while driving the car for them and their families, and this is what tinting offers them, as it blocks a large part of the external vision due to black out and gives comfortable and permanent privacy.

Protects the glass from breakage

Window tinting helps protect windows from breakage, there are types that prevent breakage completely, and there are regular types that prevent the spread of glass shards at least when they break, which is a good thing.

It looks beautiful

Many car owners, especially young people, install window tinting because it gives the car a beautiful look, especially if the car is sporty and the tint is shiny, and some of them are available in several colors that match the color of the car as well.

Disadvantages of window tinting

Too much cleaning takes its toll

Some chemicals and cleaning products can affect and damage window tinting, especially with too much cleaning, the wrong cleaning, or if it's of poor quality.
