Window tints are pretty much the unsung heroes of the protective measures most vehicles are equipped with. They don’t just make your car look niftier on an aesthetic level; they also serve to protect your health in various ways. Whether your car is parked or moving, window tints will always somehow serve a purpose for securing your wellbeing.
Stay Safe from Accidents
When a high impact vehicle collision takes place, a car’s windows are one of the first areas to get damaged. They are quick to shatter, which ultimately causes the glass to fall into the vehicle and injure passengers or contrarily, in more extreme accidents, passengers can fly out of the vehicle’s windows if the glass is heavily broken.
Window film basically serves as an extra protective layer that can stop window glass from shattering. So just like you would want to check if your vehicle airbags are working, window tints serve as a great safety precaution.
In addition, window tints help reduce glare on windows. You might be used to resorting to your sun visors, but with window tints, your eyesight won’t be hindered while you’re behind the wheel. No more squinting in bright sunlight.
Keep Away Harmful UV Rays
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, “Ultraviolet radiation can travel through car and home windows, where it can contribute to the daily accumulation of sun exposure that can lead to skin cancer and photo-aging.”
UV rays can actually enter your vehicle’s window glass by gleaming off water or other objects that can reflect the sun’s light. Back in the 1990s, studies found that auto drivers had more skin damage on the left side of their bodies where they drove on and exposed to the sun.
Pretty much all of a vehicle’s window glass will filter out UVB rays, but the windshield is the only one that will only keep out a portion of UVA rays. Now that window tints are around, you can be safe from the negative effects of ultraviolet rays that can lead to skin cancer and other forms of skin damage.
If you’re safe from sunburn and UV rays, you’ll also deter factors that may cause skin aging. People with diseases, and conditions like photosensitivity, can also greatly benefit from window tints. They can be advantageous in both warm and cool weather.
