Houston Window Tint – Metallic Films

Metallic Window Film – Problem

Today’s cars come fully equipped with so many gadgets that it’s almost possible for them to drive themselves. Newer vehicles often feature complex electronics systems, such as satellite radio that provides customized entertainment and the latest traffic conditions, GPS navigation to get the driver where he wants to go when he’s lost, keyless entry systems provide safe entrance to the vehicle, remote start allows the driver to start their vehicle from a distance so by the time they get in their vehicles it may be cool or warm already, tire pressure sensors tell drivers when their tires get too low, and radar detectors designed to avoid speeding tickets.

To work properly, these devices rely on antennas that receive signals from things as far away as the heavens (satellites) or as closeby as the next parking space (a remote control for keyless entry). Sometimes those antennas are on the roof, but other times they’re in the rear window. And, that’s where the problem comes in for Metallic Window Films. When metallized films are installed over those antennas, they interfere with the signals. That means a driver may not be able to enjoy the high technological features of his vehicle.

Ceramic Window Film – Solution

Metal films provide exceptional heat rejection and are highly durable, but they cause interference with rear window electronic systems. Dyed films are non-conductive, but they don’t last as long and they don’t provide the best heat rejection. Ceramic films provide the best of both worlds. Ceramic films also offer better visibility by reducing the reflective qualities of metallized window film while increasing the visible light transmission. This gives you a lighter film with higher heat rejection. It is why Sun Shield Window Tint only uses ceramic window films, Omar Mayorga says ”Our customers are important and they always come first”. As a huge car enthusiastic Anthony Mayorga says, ” Here at Sun Shield Window Tint, We Always treat our customers car as our own”.  Make Your appointment today and allow us to show you that our service is well-worth.

Nano-ceramic Window Films

Ceramic films utilize the latest technology to create the world’s first nano-ceramic solar control films. Employing advanced techniques and enhanced process control, fine ceramic coatings are deposited onto ultra clear films to produce a high performance heat, glare and ultra-violet barrier.

Ceramic Performance

Ceramic films are 100% metal-free, 100% dye-free and will not demetallize or fade. Unlike dyed or metallized films, spectrally tuned ceramic films offer superb heat rejection properties without compromising visibility, have low reflectivity and will not appear shiny. A natural view is maintained both day and night.

Warranty of Confidence

Stringently tested for ultra-violet and weather degradation, Ceramic films come with a scratch-resistant hardcoat that conforms to the internationally recognised ECE 43 abrasion test.  nano-ceramic films also come with a 10-year product warranty against blistering, bubbling, cracking, delaminating, fading, demetallising, discoloring or peeling.
