Why Window Tinting Is Crucial in Florida Heat
Why Window Tinting Is Crucial in Florida Heat
Nothing is quite as intense as a hot day in Florida. Window tinting can make your ride more comfortable, protect your health and provide you with a safe haven from the overbearing sun. Here are some of the most important benefits of window tinting, provided by the experts at Elite Roads:
Cooler Ride
Not only does the dark window effect leave your ride with a mysteriously cool vibe, window tinting can actually reduce the heat inside of your vehicle. Front windows are designed to give drivers a wide-angle view of the outside; however, this openness allows more sunlight to get into your vehicle. Window tints reject the maximum number of thermal rays radiated by the sun and filters the amount of radiation that passes through your vehicle windows. That way, heat is blocked.
Tints effectively help block the heat and prevent your vehicle from reaching uncomfortably high temperatures. Ultimately, tinted windows help keep your car cooler during hot summers.
The amount of heat tint blocks depends on a variety of factors, including the type, shade and make of the tint you select. Different options provide a different percentage of rejection of solar heat. Some lower transparency window tints can reduce heat in your vehicle by up to 70 percent; however, normal window tinting provides approximately 35 to 45 percent of heat rejection. Premium tint can provide heat rejection up to 80 percent.
Safer Driving
Window tinting can also block glare from the sun. This can help you avoid being blinded by the sun when you are driving to work, school or other places on a sunny Florida day.
Interior Protection
Sunlight can damage the leather or interior of your vehicle. It’s common for continuous sunlight to discolor the interior, as well as make leather crack and dry. This can lead to a decrease in the value of your car simply for being subject to the Florida heat. Adding tint to your windows can help you protect the value of your investment.
UV Rays Blockage
Another important benefit of adding tint to your vehicle is blocking UV rays from entering your vehicle. UV rays from the Florida sun represent a serious health concern. UV rays are associated with skin cancer and other serious medical conditions. Many people mistakenly believe that they cannot get a sunburn if driving in direct sunlight, but they certainly can. Car windows that aren’t tinted are associated with the highest levels of sun exposure and increase your odds of developing sun-related conditions. High quality window tints can block up to 99 percent of harmful rays.
Window tinting is not only meant to make your ride look like a hot rod. It can help protect you from the dangerous and uncomfortable sun, especially in the Florida climate. Contact our technicians at Elite Roads can discuss all of the benefits of installing window tint on your ride.
