REASONS SHADES OF DARKNESS WINDOW TINTING IS NEEDED..

Picture of changes in facial skin with age WITHOUT WINDOW TINT.
The suns rays have a profound effect on the skin causing premature skin aging, skin cancer, and a host of skin changes. Without window tint your face and left side is exposure to ultraviolet light, UVA or UVB. Sunlight accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging. Many skin alters that were commonly believed to be due to aging, such as easy bruising, are actually a result of prolonged exposure to UV radiation and can be prevented by Window Tint. What is UV Radiation? The sun gives off ultraviolet radiation that we divide into classes based on the wavelength. UVC - 100 to 290 nm UVB - 290 to 320 nm UVA - 320 to 400 nm UVC Rays UVC rays is almost completely absorbed by the ozone layer and does not affect the skin. UVC rays can be found in artificial sources such as mercury arc lamps and germicidal lamps. UVB Rays UVB affects the outer layer of skin, the epidermis, and is the main agent responsible for sunburns. It is the extremely intense between the hours of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm when the sun is brightest. Also strongest in the summer months accounting for 70% of a person's yearly UVB dose. UVB does not penetrate glass. UVA Radiation UVA was once thought to have a minor effect on skin distruction now studies are showing that UVA is a major factor to skin damage. UVA penetrates deeper into the skin and works considerably damage. The intensity of UVA rays is considerably constant than UVB without the alternatives during the day and throughout the year. UVA is also not filtered by glass and the reason to have window tint applied.

Window Tint (FILM) Not ALL THE SAME

Not all films are appropriate for all glass. You must consider the absorption coefficient of the glass and the film, the mass of the pane, the depth of the glass, the composition of the window - is it single pane, insulated glass, treated with a low-emissivity coating, or glaze, laminated or toughened. Information on the adequate choosing of film for the glass is vital to guaranteed that the glass does not crack as a result of thermal strain. Unfortunately, it is possible that a window may crack consequent to the application of an appropriate film, because the pane has been harmed during the glazing of the window, or as a result of motion of the building or other physical pressures that are not noticeable at the time of the application the film. Glass may crack following to the apply sign writing or if heavy, thermal drapes are hung close to the glass, particularly if the sides of the glass are already weakened. The possibilities of glass breakage occurring following the application of tint or sign writing or the hanging of drapes, are very limited. On the flip side damage can take place and it is unachievable to foresee the edge condition of the glass without removing it from the frame - a that is not practical. Automobile window tinting decreases the visible light transmission (VLT) through car windows. This can be difficult at night, because motorists must be able to see threw the windows of other vehicles in order TO spot dangers which would otherwise be impeded. Police in addition may want to be able to investigate the passengers in a vehicle. In many towns, there are laws to ensure darkness of films do not provide a danger to motorists
