05 Questions, answered
Before you choose.
What will Ceramic IR look like after installation?+
A neutral glass tone suited to a clean automotive tint installation. Use the shade-specific performance information when choosing your film.
Does darker tint always reject more heat?+
Shade and heat performance are different properties. Compare the published performance for the exact film and shade. Visible light transmission describes brightness; it does not measure total heat rejection.
What warranty information should I check?+
Lifetime. Automotive program preview: final policy wording and effective date are pending. Your issued warranty governs your installation; this preview does not change existing coverage.
How do I get Ceramic IR installed?+
Use Find an Installer to request help for your project. Ask your installer to confirm the selected product, finish, application suitability and warranty before installation.
