Tinted films outperform original tinted glass
What's the real difference between film and original glazing?
Between original tinted windows and tinted film, it's sometimes hard to choose.
Anti-glare, anti-heat, anti-burglary... It's easy to confuse the attributes of each.
In this article, we weigh up the pros and cons of each option to help you make the right choice!
Are the original windows tinted?
Original tinted glass is simply glass that has been tinted during manufacture. Their main function is to restrict prying eyes, thanks to their more or less intense tinting.
Original tinted glass is therefore ineffective against heat and UV ra ys, and doesn't improve glazing resistance.
It's a good solution if you're only looking for an anti-glare effect. To protect the passenger compartment from heat or possible breakage, it's better to opt for a more secure solution.
How do I tint my car windows?
Variance Auto tinted window kits are solar films applied directly to your car's windows. These kits offer many advantages.
Unlike original tinted windows, tinted films not only block out the view, they also have an anti-heat function.
Thanks to their composition, they effectively combat heat by significantly reducing the temperature inside the car. This protects you from UV rays!
Note: Variance Auto tinted films reject up to 66% of solar energy.
