Ceramic Window Tinting in Oroville

They usually describe the same thing. Both terms refer to film that uses ceramic particles to reduce infrared energy, which is a major part of the heat you feel through glass. Different companies label their ranges differently, so the useful comparison is not the name but the specific film and shade. Ask your dealer for the published figures for the exact product you are considering, and remember that visible light transmission describes how much light passes through, not how much heat the film rejects.

Sunlight reaching your car is a mix of ultraviolet, visible light and infrared energy. Kepler's IR and IR+ nano-ceramic ranges are built to address that spectrum: the ceramic layer targets infrared heat, the film filters ultraviolet light, and the shade you choose controls visible light and glare. IR+ is the higher-performing of the two ranges. Because results differ between films and shades, compare the exact product and shade with your dealer rather than relying on a general figure.

A cooler cabin is the benefit most drivers notice first, followed by less glare on bright roads and more privacy in the back of the vehicle. Filtering ultraviolet light also helps limit sun damage to seats, dashboards and door trim. Kepler's ceramic films are non-metallic, so they will not interfere with electronics in the car. Your installer can match a shade to the look you want and to the glazing on your vehicle.

Cost depends on the vehicle, the number of windows, the film range and the shade you choose. Prices are set by the independent dealer who does the work, so send an enquiry with your vehicle details and they will come back to you with a figure.

Ceramic film needs very little care. Give newly applied film time to cure before cleaning it, then avoid abrasive cloths, scrapers and harsh or ammonia-based products. A soft microfiber cloth and a mild cleaner keep the surface clear. Our "how to clean window tint" page has more detailed advice.

Installers use infrared meters and lamps to demonstrate film performance under controlled conditions. At home, a simple comparison is to feel the sun on your arm through an open window, then raise the glass and notice the difference through the tinted film. It is an impression rather than a measurement, so ask your dealer for a meter demonstration if you want something closer to a real reading.

Tinting rules are set by state law and cover things such as which windows may be treated and how dark or reflective the film can be. Choosing a film and staying within the law are two separate steps, so check the current rules before you settle on a shade. Our California window tint laws page sets out the details. Your installer can also help you match a shade to what the regulations allow.

Dyed and metallic films mainly control visible light, and metallic films can interfere with signals inside the car. Ceramic film uses ceramic particles to target infrared energy as well as visible light, which is why a lighter ceramic shade can feel cooler than a darker basic film. Kepler's ceramic ranges are non-metallic and hold their color well. Compare published figures for the exact films and shades you are weighing up.

Ceramic film sits at the premium end because of what goes into it: a non-metallic construction that keeps electronics clear, strong infrared and ultraviolet filtering, and a clean, even finish without the mirrored look of metallic films. Drivers who spend a lot of time on the road tend to notice the difference in comfort and clarity.

Kepler supplies film to independent installers, and the dealer finder is the place to start looking for one near you. If a shop is not listed, it is worth asking whether they can source and install Kepler film before you book. Sending an enquiry through the quote form passes your details to a Kepler dealer, who will handle it from there.
