Ceramic Window Tint vs Non-Ceramic Window Tint: Which One Should You Choose?

When it comes to automotive window tinting, selecting the right option for your vehicle is essential. At Garage Slick, we understand the importance of choosing the right window tint, that’s why we exclusively offer XPEL window films, including both ceramic and non-ceramic options.

In this article, we will explore the differences between ceramic window tint and non-ceramic window tint, helping you make an informed decision for your vehicle.

 

What is Non-Ceramic Window Tinting?

Non-ceramic window tinting, also called dyed window tint, refers to a type of window film used to darken or tint the windows of vehicles, homes, or buildings, primarily for the purpose of reducing sunlight and heat penetration, increasing privacy, and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. The term “non-ceramic” indicates that the window tinting film does not contain ceramic particles or technology in its composition.

XPEL Prime CS

One of the options we offer at Garage Slick is XPEL Prime CS, a high-quality non-ceramic window tint.

• This film is known for its color stability, ensuring that it will not fade or turn purple over time.
• Additionally, XPEL Prime CS is designed to be compatible with electronic devices, meaning it will not interfere with radio, cellular, or Bluetooth signals.
• With darkness levels ranging from 35 to 5 VLT, you have the flexibility to choose the level of tint that suits your preferences.

 

Did You Know?

VLT stands for “Visible Light Transmission.” It is a measurement used to indicate the amount of visible light that can pass through a window tint or film. VLT is typically expressed as a percentage, representing the amount of light allowed to pass through the tinted window.

 

What is Ceramic Window Tinting?

Ceramic window tinting is a premium option that offers superior performance and benefits over non-ceramic window tint. It is made using advanced ceramic nanoparticles, which provide enhanced heat rejection, UV protection, and improved clarity.

XPEL Prime XR

XPEL Prime XR is a ceramic window tint that combines all the benefits of non-ceramic window tinting with additional features.

• With darkness levels available from 80 to 5 VLT, it offers a wide range of options to suit different preferences.
• The key advantage of XPEL Prime XR is its exceptional heat rejection capabilities. It can significantly reduce the amount of heat entering your vehicle, keeping you cooler and more comfortable, especially during hot summer days

XPEL Prime XR Plus

For those seeking the ultimate performance in ceramic window tinting, XPEL Prime XR Plus is the ideal choice. This multi-layer ceramic film takes heat rejection to the next level.

• With darkness levels available from 70 to 5 VLT, you can achieve the desired level of tint. This means that even on the hottest days, your vehicle’s interior will stay significantly cooler, providing you with maximum comfort.

 

Factors to Consider When Choosing Between Ceramic and Non-Ceramic Window Tinting

When deciding between ceramic and non-ceramic window tinting, several factors come into play.

UV Protection

Both ceramic and non-ceramic window tinting offer excellent UV protection. They block harmful UV rays that can cause skin damage and fade your vehicle’s interior. However, ceramic window tinting typically provides higher UV protection levels.

Aesthetics and Visibility

Consider your preferences regarding the darkness level of the tint and how it affects visibility both during the day and at night. Non-ceramic window tinting offers a range of darkness options, but ceramic window tinting can provide a sleeker appearance due to its enhanced clarity.

Budget

Ceramic window tinting is a premium option and is generally more expensive than non-ceramic window tinting. Consider your budget and how much you are willing to invest in window tinting for your vehicle.

Ultimately, the choice between ceramic and non-ceramic window tinting depends on your personal preferences, climate, and specific requirements.
