Ceramic Window Tinting in Santa Clarita

The terms are often used interchangeably. "Infrared" film usually refers to nano-ceramic film chosen for its ability to help manage infrared energy, which is a major part of the heat you feel through glass. Kepler IR and IR+ are both nano-ceramic ranges, so the practical difference comes down to which range and which shade you choose. Compare the exact film and shade rather than the name on the box.

Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. For more information, see quote enquiry.

Kepler IR and IR+ are nano-ceramic films built to help manage solar heat, including infrared energy, while maintaining clear visibility through the glass. Visible light transmission describes how much light passes through the film, and it is separate from heat performance, so a lighter shade is not automatically a warmer cabin. Ask your dealer to compare the exact film and shade you are considering, and match it to the glazing already in your vehicle.

Ceramic film is chosen for a mix of reasons: help with solar heat and glare, added privacy at darker shades, and a finish that suits the car. Nano-ceramic construction is non-metallic, so it does not interfere with phone, GPS or radio signals. Because performance varies by range and shade, it is worth talking through your daily driving and parking before picking a film.

Cost depends on the vehicle, the number of windows, the range you choose and the shade. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.

Keep cleaning gentle. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh solvents, and use a soft cloth with a mild solution. Follow any curing advice your installer gives you after fitting. There is more detail on our how to clean window tint page.

The simplest comparison is side by side: a heat lamp aimed at a tinted and an untinted pane, with a thermometer behind each, shows the difference in a rough way. It is an informal test rather than a laboratory measurement, so for a like-for-like view ask your dealer for the published figures on the exact film and shade.

Tint rules are set at state level and cover things like shade and reflectivity on different windows. California drivers should check the current requirements before choosing a shade. Full details are on our California window tint laws page. Choosing a film and meeting the regulations are two separate steps, so confirm both with your installer.

Nano-ceramic film is non-metallic, so unlike some metallized tints it does not interfere with GPS, cell or radio signals. It is designed to help manage solar heat and glare while keeping the view through the glass clear, and it is made to hold its appearance over time. Which range and shade suits you depends on your vehicle and how you use it.
