6 Reasons to tint your windows

5 Reasons to tint your windows
Window tinting is not just for looks anymore. What starts in people's mind as a cosmetic enhancement, now offers a level of protection previously unavailable on mainstream brands at an affordable price. With the increased cost of vehicles, protecting your investment is an important consideration.


1)Look and Aesthetics - Nothing Beats the deep black that ties in your window trim and B pillars to one uniform surface while minimizing the interruption of the body lines by the visible interior.

2) Resale Value- A better looking car sells for more money, and sells faster among competition without window tinting.

3) Protection from UV rays and glare– While Ontario gets the 4 seasons, the sun's radiation is a constant factor. UV rays can damage your health and make it hard to see with glare and reflections. 

4) Protects your interior – Because there is less UV Radiation to fade your interior, your car lasts longer, looks better inside, and tying into the resale value, protects your investment.

5) Protects your valuables – Car Hopping or late night theft from parked vehicles is a worsening issue in many parts of Ontario. While we advise not to store valuables in your vehicle, at least if they are out of sight, they are out of mind. Complete privacy tinting is available for rear windows.

6) Keep your interior cool – With thermal protection from Ceramic Window tint from Xpel, you can also block out the Sun's thermal energy keeping your vehicle interior cooler and more comfortable all the occupants.
