Think window tinting is just a summer thing? Think again! Here at Sun Control of Wisconsin, we're busting that myth wide open.
It's true that window tint is fantastic for keeping your car cool and comfortable during those scorching summer months. But did you know that getting your car tinted in winter offers just as many benefits?
Winter driving presents unique challenges, and blinding glare from the sun reflecting off snow and ice is a major one. This intense glare can significantly reduce visibility, making it difficult to see the road, pedestrians, and other vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents.
Depending on the level of window tint you choose, you can drastically and effectively reducing this glare and improving visibility. By minimizing eye strain and enhancing your ability to see clearly, window tint makes your winter commutes safer and less stressful.
No more squinting right?
While the sun might feel less intense in winter, don't be fooled – harmful UV rays are still present and can wreak havoc on your car's interior and even your skin.
These invisible rays can cause fading, cracking, and discoloration of your dashboard, seats, and other surfaces, making your car look older and worn out prematurely. Window tint blocks those harmful UV rays (roughly 99%) and help preserve the beauty and value of your car's interior year-round. Investing in window tint is like investing in a time machine for your car's interior, keeping it looking newer for longer.
But it's not just about your car's interior. Window tint also protects your skin from the sun's harmful effects. If you have light sensitivity, UV sensitivity, or a family history of skin cancer, window film can provide an extra layer of defense. In fact, specific films like 3M Crystalline and XPEL XR+ are even endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Though keeping your car cool might not be a top priority in winter, window tint still offers valuable benefits in colder temperatures such as insulation.
By helping to retain heat, window tint can make your car feel warmer and more comfortable on those frigid winter days. This added warmth also means your defroster won't have to work as hard, reducing energy consumption and saving you money on fuel.
