    Window Tinting: How It Works and Its Overall Benefits

    Applying tint on your windows gives more benefits than you may think. Technology and innovation have helped in improving the safety and security of many people. Window tints can now do more than just darken your car windows. Before you see the pros and cons, get to know first how it works.

    How It Works

    Window tinting is when you put a layer of film on the windows of your car to block, reflect, or absorb certain types of light rays. The film is usually polyester-based with metal and dye treatments. Different kinds of films have different levels at which they allow visible light to pass through.

    There are also various dark shades of tints, and there are laws that allow certain shades of darkness. So, if you want dark car windows, you need to check the rules first. You can also get services from the city where you’re from, such as Window Tint Colorado Springs if you live in that city.

    The Benefits of Window Tinting

    1) Skin Protection

    Ultraviolet or UV rays are harmful to human skin and eyes. It can cause skin diseases such as sunburn and skin cancer. Your regular car windows cannot block off UV rays, which is why you may want to consider applying a layer of tint over it.

    If you drive your car everywhere under the sun, even if you’re inside it, UV rays can still enter if it doesn’t have UV protection. You’re risking your health, as well as the health of the people inside your car. This can be especially true if you drive a family car, and you should consider tinting your windows to reduce the risk of your children acquiring skin diseases from UV exposure.

    2) Prevent Upholstery From Fading or Discoloration

    UV rays aren’t just harmful to human skin and eyes. It can also damage the things inside your car. Your car seats’ color can fade under the harmful rays of the sun. If your car spends a lot  of time under the sun, the UV rays can fade or discolor your upholstery, which means it’ll lose its color and vibrancy. Leather seats can dry up and wilt under intense UV rays.

    If you have other stuff inside the car, such as decorative plushies on the front window, those could be a victim of the sun’s UV rays as well.

    3) Shatter Resistance

    Some window tints have shatter resistance benefits. Glass can easily break, but certain window tints can give extra strength to reduce the likelihood of shattering. Cars are especially at risk because of burglary when you park it everywhere.

    It may not completely prevent the glass from breaking, but at least there’s some added protection. The film can help hold the breaking glass together to give you enough time to take it to a service for repairs.

    4) Reduce Glare

    Car accidents are something nobody ever wants to happen to themselves or any of their loved ones. To reduce the likelihood of that happening, you may want to take extra precautions. Glares can obstruct your view of the road, which can be extremely dangerous. You may not notice an oncoming vehicle, which could lead to an accident.

    Window tints can help reduce or eliminate glares on your windshield. When the sun is high up, anything that may reflect a blinding beam of light towards you will get blocked off so you don’t get distracted or become temporarily blind because of it.

    5) Lower Visibility

    As mentioned above, there are different shades of window tints. There are those that don’t impede your visibility even in the dark, and there are also shades that lower visibility when viewed from the outside. Just don’t forget the window tint laws that can guide you on the allowable darkness of window tints.

    If you value privacy, window tints can help with that. It helps reduce the risk of people robbing your car. If they can’t see the valuables inside the vehicle, they may look for a different one where they can instead clearly spot the valuables.


    6) Block Heat From The Sun

    The sunlight entering your car windows can increase the heat inside the vehicle. On warm days, especially summertime, your car can heat up if you leave it outside. If you’re driving with the AC turned on, you’ll be using more gas than usual to prevent the inside of the car from overheating. If your windows are tinted, your car won’t be as warm inside.

    Final Thoughts

    Windows tints aren’t just for aesthetics. Cars don’t just look cool with dark window tints and it’s also not just for keeping people from looking at the driver. There are lots of benefits you could get, including safety and protection for yourself and loved ones, and spending a few hundred dollars on window tinting is worth all of it.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
