At Shade9 Window Tinting, we understand the importance of choosing the right tint for effective heat reduction. Let’s explore the various options available and delve deeper into their properties to help you make an informed decision.


Types of Window Tints

Dyed Window Tints

Among our offerings, dyed tints reduce glare and add style, but may not match the heat reduction capabilities of other types.

Metalized Window Tints

Metalized tints, with their ability to reflect heat away from windows, offer substantial heat reduction but can interfere with electronic signals. As a result, we no longer carry this film in stock here at Shade9.

Carbon Window Tints

Our carbon tints combine layers for exceptional heat and glare reduction, durability, and a sleek appearance.

Standard Ceramic Window Tints

Utilizing non-metallic, nano-ceramic particles, our standard nano-ceramic tint excel in heat reduction and UV protection without compromising electronic signals.

IR Blocking Ceramic Window Tints

For superior heat reduction, our IR blocking ceramic tints target infrared heat while maintaining high visibility and UV protection.
