This car window tint film blocks up to 90 per cent of harmful UV rays, protecting both your skin and your car seats from fading and aging. It also reduces the sun’s heat, helping to create a more comfortable interior environment. Due to visible light transmission (VLT) technology, you can maintain clear visibility through the windows while still enjoying effective heat and UV protection. The film also minimises glare from the sun, enhancing driving safety and comfort. Additionally, by keeping your car cooler, it lessens the demand on your air conditioning system, which can contribute to better fuel efficiency.

Your car shouldn't be an oven, and that's what the windshield is there for. It has double layer protection: The combination of black heat insulation and silver reflective layers blocks up to 99 per cent of harmful UV rays and heat.

It reduces the time your air-conditioner needs to cool down the car, saving energy and fuel. It also allows for easy storage and takes up less space. So, investing in a sun shade is always a good idea. You won't feel as if you've stepped into a sauna, every time you sit inside your car.
