Quick answer: Window tint helps keep a car cooler in Reno and Sparks summers by blocking infrared heat and most UV rays before they warm the cabin. Ceramic film blocks the most heat. Tint works best alongside sunshades and parking in the shade when you can.
Why Reno and Sparks cars get so hot
High-desert sun is strong, and a parked car can heat up quickly. Most of that heat comes from infrared light passing through the glass, which is what window film is designed to block.
What window tint does
- Blocks up to 99% of UV rays across our film series.
- Reduces heat-producing infrared light, with our Nano Series blocking up to 42%, the Apex Series up to 92%, and the Diamond Series up to 99%.
- Helps protect leather, dashboards, and trim from sun damage.
Other ways to stay cool
Use a sunshade on hot days, park in shade when you can, and crack the windows during parking if it is safe. Window tint works best as part of these habits.
