Choosing the Right Window Tint for your Car

August 9, 20180

Know your tint level limitations

Suntamers is an experienced car window tinting company, and if we’ve learned anything in our 45 years as a business it’s this: the sun is out to get all of us.
Knowing this, you may be inclined to choose the darkest tint available for your car, but did you know that dark window tint can make it harder to see at night? Additionally, state laws regulate tint levels, so you will need to check before choosing your tint level. Or you could just skip the hassle and have a professional auto window tint company  do the work.

Don’t tint outdoors

You know how you need to clean the screen on your smartphone before applying the screen protector, and even then, you end up with little bits of fuzz under there? That’s because you’re working in an uncontrolled environment.
The same issues arise with outdoor or mobile car tinting companies. A slight breeze and you’ve got a grimy layer of pollen, bugs, dust, and dirt between your window and your new car film. Car window tinting should always be performed indoors in a controlled environment.

The Advantages of One Way Privacy Window Film

July 17, 20180

Keep your home safe from burglary and daytime looky-loos.

Most burglars take the time to discover which homes are worth breaking into, and this involves a good amount of daytime surveillance peering into windows. A burglar or intruder may be more inclined to break into your home if he is able to get a clear lay of the land and can check out your valuables, but that shouldn’t stop you from purchasing that brand new 60” flat screen you’ve had your eye on.

Privacy window film prevents those outside your home from looking in, while still letting you enjoy the views from inside your home. One thing to be aware of is that one way daytime privacy film is what it says it is: privacy film for the daytime. If you turn a light on inside your home after dark you may be visible.
