How Window Film Protects Your Car

Film protects a car in four ways: UV, heat, glare and glass strength. None of them depends on how dark the film is.

UV

Ceramic film blocks over 99% of UV in every shade, so your arm and your dash are covered even at 35%.

Heat

Ceramic rejects infrared heat at light shades, which is why a 35% ceramic outperforms a 20% dyed film on a hot afternoon.

Glare

Low sun, wet roads, oncoming lights. Film takes the edge off all three without turning the cabin into a cave.

Glass strength

Film holds broken glass in the frame. That matters in a hit and it matters for theft.

What to actually buy

  • Two front windows: $99
  • Sedan or coupe, full car: $179
  • SUV, full car: $199
  • Van, full car: $239

The legal bit, accurately

Ontario publishes no tint percentage. The requirement is that an officer can see the driver and passenger, which is why 35% on the front doors with a clear windshield is what we install most. The two rear doors and the rear glass can be as dark as 5% if you want, with both side mirrors kept.

Choosing a shade

Start with the rear glass, match the rear doors, then keep the fronts one step lighter. That looks factory and stays out of trouble.
