Suffering in an uncomfortably hot vehicle? Window tinting blocks up to 70% of infrared heat, making driving miserable. With nano-ceramic films reflecting away solar radiation, interiors stay cooler even without blasting the AC, saving fuel.

Beyond heat reduction, tints cut glare for safer driving, prevent fading, protect skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays, add privacy, enhance style, and make valuables less visible. They even keep glass intact in collisions. We deliver affordable precision installations of advanced films that sustain performance for years. We also offer paint protection film and car branding services.

Benefits of Window Tinting

Window tinting has rapidly grown in popularity amongst Dubai car owners seeking relief from unrelenting heat and sunlight glare. The right window film or tint can make driving considerably more comfortable while protecting passengers and interiors. Installing window film or tint on car glass offers numerous advantages:

Reduced Heat and Glare

Quality window tint blocks upwards of 60% of solar infrared and heat that would normally penetrate untinted windows. This keeps interiors much cooler, reducing car AC running times. Glare reduction also improves visibility and eye comfort.

UV Ray Protection

Solar UV rays catalyze cracks, fading, and deterioration of car interiors over the years. Window film containing metals reflects over 99% of UV, preventing damage. They also protect the skin against sun exposure.

Privacy and Aesthetic Appeal

Dark-tinted windows restrict outside visibility. So, this hides occupants and valuables left inside unattended vehicles in Dubai. In addition, from subtle light smoke tints to sleek blackouts, custom films allow personalization of any car’s appearance.

Shatterproof

Tint film applied using the precision cutting tools and techniques of professional installers keeps the glass intact rather than shatter during collisions.

Types of Window Tint

Dyed (Non-Reflective) Tint

The traditional tint option utilizes dyed vinyl sheets. Depending on quality, it has good value but is prone to purple discoloration, bubbling, and peeling after 1-5 years.

Carbon Tint

Nano-scale carbon particles suspended within non-metal films absorb more light waves. It resists fading with moderate heat rejection.

Ceramic Tint

It is an ultimate heat-rejecting film that uses integrated micro-ceramic particles or metallic nano-particles. Unparalleled IR ray blocking (up to 97%) and 8-15 year performance. However, these tints are slightly expensive.

Metalized Tint

It is rarely used to block radio/phone/GPS signals. Metalized tints are made by depositing a thin layer of aluminum between tint layers to reflect heat.

Tint types differ in heat/UV rejection, transparency, longevity, price, etc. Ceramic offers the longest performance, radioactive particle protection, and heat resistance due to infrared ray deflection. Carbon strikes an affordable balance with decent heat, glare, and UV protection.

Dubai Window Tint Regulations

Dubai enforces rather strict legal limits on aftermarket automotive window tint darkness and opacity:

Window	Allowed Light Transmission Reduction
Front Windshield	No aftermarket tint of any kind is allowed
Front Side Windows	Must allow over 70% of light transmission (30% opacity)
Rear Windshield	Must allow over 70% of light transmission (30% opacity)
Rear Passenger Windows	Any opacity allowed

The government mandates tint films do not block vehicle window stickers like registration, manufacturing symbols, etc. Exceeding these specifications risks immediate removal plus 10,000 AED fines or 30-day impoundment. Cobra Car Wrapping Dubai is a professional tint installer. Our team always refuses to violate legal limits when it comes to tinting and car detailing.

Caring for Tinted Windows

To sustain the performance and cosmetics of window films:

Use microfiber cloths with alcohol/ammonia-free cleaners only
Avoid wiping films completely dry to curtail scratches
Inspect for cracks, bubbles, or purple discoloration
Seek removal and reapplication of peeling outdated tint
Get professional ceramic coatings over film every 2 years
Seek window tint replacement after 8-12 years for newer technologies
