Ceramic Window Tinting Buffalo Grove

In everyday use the two terms describe the same thing. IR simply stands for infrared, and it is often used in marketing to highlight the infrared performance built into a nano-ceramic film. Kepler IR and IR+ are both nano-ceramic ranges, so the useful comparison is not the name on the box but the exact film and shade you are looking at. Ask your installer to compare the specific film, in the specific shade, on the glass you are having tinted.

Kepler IR and IR+ are nano-ceramic films designed to work on solar heat and glare rather than relying on a dark shade alone. That matters because visible light transmission, the amount of light passing through the film, is a separate measure from solar heat performance: a lighter film is not automatically a weaker performer, and a darker one is not automatically cooler. Compare the exact film and shade side by side, and let your installer explain how each option behaves on your vehicle's glazing.

Ceramic film gives you a way to make a car more comfortable without changing anything mechanical. The main benefits are reduced solar heat, less glare through the side and rear glass, filtering of ultraviolet light and, in the darker shades, a more private cabin in daylight. There is an appearance benefit too, since the right shade tidies up the look of the glass. Which of those matters most is your call, and it guides which Kepler film and shade your installer recommends.

Cost depends on the vehicle, the number of windows, the glazing and the film you choose, so there is no single figure. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.

Keep abrasive cleaners and scrubbing pads away from tinted glass. A mild, ammonia-free cleaner and a soft cloth is all the film needs. Our "how to clean window tint" page sets out the full care routine.

You can get a feel for it with a simple demonstration. Many installers use a heat lamp and a sample board, holding tinted and untinted glass in front of the lamp so you can feel the difference on your hand or read it on a thermometer. It is a useful illustration rather than a laboratory test, so treat it as a way to compare films you are actually considering, in the shades you are considering, and ask about the published data for the exact film.

Vehicle window tinting is regulated, and the rules exist to keep visibility and safety in check. Our window tint laws page covers the regulations that apply where you drive. Choosing a film and staying within the rules are two separate steps, so read up before you book and confirm the details with your installer, who works to the legal limits in force in Illinois.

Nano-ceramic film is non-metallic, so it avoids the signal interference that metallized films can cause with phones, GPS and radio reception. It is also made to hold its color and clarity rather than turning purple with age. Compare it against the alternatives on the exact film and shade, since visible light transmission and solar heat performance are measured separately.

Ceramic film sits at the upper end of the market because of what goes into it. A nano-ceramic construction is designed to work on solar heat and glare while keeping the view through the glass clean, and because it contains no metal layer it does not interfere with onboard electronics. Add a shade chosen to suit the car and the result looks considered rather than bolted on, which is why drivers who care about the finish tend to choose it.

Start on our dealer locator page, then send a quote enquiry with your vehicle details. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. If you are approaching an installer you found elsewhere, ask whether they can source and install Kepler film before you book.
