Sun shield on the windows

Athermal tinting is a special film for automobile glass containing metal particles (silver, titanium) or special composites. It reflects the infrared radiation of the sun, which heats the interior, but at the same time lets visible light through. Thanks to this, tinting practically does not darken the glass.

Advantages of athermal toning

• Heat protection: athermal tinting reduces the temperature in the car interior by several degrees, increasing the comfort of the ride.
• Preservation of visibility: unlike traditional tinting, thermal film does not obstruct the driver's view. This increases the safety of driving at dusk and at night.
• Burn Protection: Blocks UV rays, protecting interior upholstery from fading.
• Aesthetic appearance: athermal tinting has a slight tint (blue, green), giving the car a stylish appearance.

Disadvantages of athermal toning

• Cost: athermal tinting is more expensive than traditional tinting due to the technologies used.
• Light transmission and legislation: in some countries there are requirements for minimum light transmission of automotive glass. Check the legislation in your country before installing a thermal tint with low light transmission.
• Efficiency depends on quality: choose a thermal film from well-known manufacturers with a quality guarantee. Cheap films can quickly lose their properties.

Athermal toning: is it worth it?

Thermal tinting is a great choice for those who value comfort and protection from the sun during a trip. It allows you to maintain good visibility and give the car a stylish look. However, before making a decision, find out the legal requirements for light transmission of glass in your country and choose a quality film from a well-known manufacturer.
