There are two types of ceramic window film: Ceramic Tint (XPEL XR Black) and Advanced Nano Ceramic Tint (XPEL XR PLUS). The difference between both types of ceramic window film is primarily the performance. Use the pictures and videos provided below to help guide you on the best solution for YOU.
XR Black tests at 76% of IR Heat Protection while XR PLUS performs at 96% IR Heat Rejection for a difference of about 20% in protection.
Both types of window tint are color stable to resist fading and color change, coated with aggressive adhesive glue to protect against bubbling, and come with a Lifetime Warranty!
Performance Difference:
Ceramic tint is definitely worth considering when it comes to window film options. One of the main advantages of ceramic tint is its exceptional ability to block large amounts of heat & UV Light. This is crucial for protecting both you and your vehicle's interior from the damaging effects of prolonged sun exposure. Ceramic tint can significantly reduce the fading and deterioration of your car's upholstery, dashboard, and other surfaces.
Durability Difference:
Ceramic tint is known for its durability and longevity. It's color stable construction resists fading and discoloration over time, ensuring that your tinted windows maintain their aesthetic appeal. The advanced technology used in ceramic tint also minimizes the risk of bubbling or peeling, making it a reliable long-term investment.
Okay, you have seen this on Tik-Tok and we have heard it a thousand times so here it is:
Ceramic Tint's main advantage to regular tint is heat rejection performance. However, a "tinteresting" trend has been taking place on social media.
What about the tint that's the dark on the outside but clear on the inside?
Yep, we have seen it but here's the answer: The effect you see on video is the camera lens adjusting lighting and exposure to inside and outside lights. When the camera is outside of car, it is adjusted to outdoor lighting from the sun. When the camera transfers to the inside, it readjusts making everything look brighter than it really is.
Is Ceramic Tint have privacy tint?
Yes it does! The darker the film on the glass the more privacy you will have.
Well, here's a can of "tintified" worms to open up. Let's start by defining "best".
