Vehicles come with only a basic thin layer of tint on the windows when you buy them. So you need to purchase and install aftermarket auto tinting layers to enjoy several benefits, such as reducing the sun's glare while driving, improving the vehicle's appearance, and even protecting yourself against ultra-violet rays from the sun. Here are five types of auto window tinting options and their benefits.

Dyed Window Tinting

Dyed tint utilizes several layers of dye to block out excessive sun rays from entering your vehicle. It is the most common type of window tinting used by motorists due to its affordability. The two main benefits of this type of tinting are that it is the cheapest option, and due to the multiple layers of dye, it provides an adequate level of privacy. However, unlike other window tinting options, dyed auto window tinting doesn't provide as good a level of protection from ultraviolet rays and excessive heat. 

Hybrid Window Tinting

Hybrid auto window tinting films get constructed from a combination of minute metallic particles and dye. In most cases, the metallic particles used are made of titanium. The dye enhances your car's privacy and minimizes the amount of sunlight coming in through the windows. The metallic particles are responsible for reflecting excessive heat and light away from the windows. The main advantage of installing a hybrid auto window tinting is balancing the amount of light and heat reflected away to ensure you have a cool, well-lit, but private car interior.

Metalized Window Tinting

Metalized auto window tinting films are composed of microscopic metallic particles emended in a film. Thus the minute metallic particles are responsible for reflecting heat and excessive light away from the vehicle's cabin. Additionally, due to the presence of the minute metallic particles, a metalized auto window tint also improves your window's resistance to scratches and shattering. Installing a metalized auto window tinting film will help you protect your windows and minimize the amount of glare and UV rays you get exposed to while driving.

Carbon Auto Tint

As the name suggests, this type of auto window tinting film has carbon particles emended in the film. The carbon particles are very efficient in absorbing infrared rays that cause your vehicle's interior to get excessively warm. A carbon tinting film can help keep your car's interior cool and minimize the fading of your vehicle's upholstery due to direct sunlight.  Additionally, due to the reduction of infrared radiation, you get to save energy on your car's air conditioning during the summer because the vehicle will be relatively cool.

Ceramic Tinting

Ceramic tinting films are the crème de la crème of auto window tinting. These types of tinting films encase minute ceramic particles, and thus, they also improve your vehicle's resistance to scratches and shattering. Plus, it is your best option for blocking out the most amount of ultraviolet rays from the sun.
