Of course, thanks to the tinted windows , much can be achieved - to emphasize the appearance of the machine, to make it more individual, and also protect the interior from excessive attention of intruders. However, today's talk will not be about the classic film, which we are used to remember, but about athermal. What is it special about and what are its advantages?
The properties
The main feature of this film is that it also performs a thermal insulation function. With such a tint, your car will not only be protected from ultraviolet radiation, but will not heat up to plus 50 degrees Celsius inside.
What is most interesting, this material with its 80 percent light transmission is able to prevent the interior from heating to extreme values. So, if a regular film is installed on the windows, after a long period of inactivity in the open sun, the inside of this car will heat up to 50-58 degrees Celsius. With athermal film, the air temperature in the cabin does not exceed 38 degrees. The difference is significant, and most importantly - thanks to transparency, it can even be installed on the windshield. In this case, the traffic police representatives will not write you any fines.
Thus, the interior of the car with transparent glasses will not heat up, while providing the driver with excellent visibility. By the way, objects on the road are perfectly visible not only during the day, but also at night.
Benefits
It is worth noting that tinting car windows with athermal film not only eliminates the heat in the cabin, but also increases the level of sound insulation. According to recent studies, such material reduces the level of environmental noise by 3-5 dB. At the same time, tinting with an athermal film is absolutely safe, since by its properties it makes the window stronger. As we know, windshields on cars are made of triplex, side windows are made of stalinite. So - tinting with an athermal film gives the side windows the properties of a triplex (in both cases there is a thin layer of polyethylene). Upon impact, all glass particles are retained on the film and do not penetrate the interior. Thus, when installing this material, you will make your car safer.
Also, tinting with an athermal film prevents the penetration of radioactive ultraviolet rays of the sun inside the machine. However, this material does not interfere with the operation of electronic devices, such as a mobile phone, GPS-navigator, radio and others. After tinting, you will not lose mobile communications, radio, wireless Internet and will not get lost in a foreign city due to the high signal from GPS.
And one more thing: tinting with 3m athermal film is an ideal option for those who do not want to make adjustments to the appearance of the car, because, in fact, the windows remain as transparent as before.
Price
Such material is relatively inexpensive. On average, to tint all the side windows in a passenger car, you will have to pay about 4-4.5 thousand rubles (one thousand for glass). A film for a windshield costs about 3 thousand rubles.
