How it works

What is ceramic window tint?

Union Ceramic IR is a carbon film with a ceramic layer on top. That layer is made to stop infrared heat, the part of sunlight you feel on your skin, while letting you see out clearly.

It suits long commutes, black interiors, electric cars and anyone parked in the San Diego sun. You can pair it with any shade the law allows.

What’s included

  • Union Ceramic IR on the windows you choose
  • Any legal shade, darkest to nearly clear
  • Film cut by computer for your car
  • Old tint taken off when needed
  • Every window checked with you
  • Aftercare explained before you leave

What decides the price

  • Your car and how many windows you want tinted
  • Ceramic IR on every window, or on some
  • Whether old tint needs taking off
  • A windshield strip or a glass roof

Questions

Ceramic window tinting questions

Is ceramic tint worth it?

If heat is why you’re tinting, yes. Ceramic IR keeps up to 87% of infrared heat out, compared with up to 75% for Carbon IR, and both block 99.99% of UV.

Does ceramic tint have to be dark?

No. The ceramic layer does the heat work, so a lighter shade still keeps a lot of heat out. On the front side windows California allows clear UV film only.

Will ceramic tint affect my phone or GPS?

No. Union Ceramic IR has no metal in it, so phones, GPS, keys and radio work as they did before.

Can I put ceramic film on my windshield?

California allows film on the windshield only as a strip kept above a line 29 inches over the driver’s seat. We can fit Ceramic IR on that strip.

How long does ceramic film keep working?

Ceramic IR is made to hold its color and heat control for years. We go through Union’s warranty for your film when you book.

Can you fit it at my home?

Yes. We tint at our San Diego shop or come to you within about 30 miles.
