(IR) Ceramic Window Tinting Deerfield

They usually describe the same thing. IR stands for infrared, and many shops use the term to highlight how a nano-ceramic film handles infrared heat. Kepler IR and IR+ are nano-ceramic automotive ranges, so whether a Deerfield installer calls it IR film or ceramic film, you are looking at the same family of product. What matters more than the label is the exact film and shade, since performance is quoted film by film.

Kepler's nano-ceramic construction is built to filter ultraviolet and infrared energy while still giving you a clear view out. Less of that energy reaching the cabin means a more comfortable drive on hot Illinois afternoons and less punishment for your dashboard, seats and trim. Keep in mind that visible light transmission, the amount of light passing through the glass, is a separate measure from solar heat performance, so compare the exact film and shade you are considering rather than judging by darkness alone.

Ceramic film gives you more to work with than a basic dyed tint. It targets solar heat and ultraviolet energy, cuts the glare that tires your eyes on a long drive, and helps slow the fading that sunlight causes inside a vehicle. Darker shades also reduce how much people see of the cabin in daylight. Because the construction is non-metallic, it avoids the signal interference associated with metalized films, so phones and GPS carry on as normal.

Cost depends on the film you choose, the number of windows, and the size and shape of the glass on your vehicle. Rather than quoting a figure that may not fit your car, we pass your details to a Kepler dealer who can price the specific job. Send an enquiry with your vehicle and the shade you have in mind, and the dealer will come back to you directly with options.

Care is simple. Leave the film to settle as your installer advises, then clean with a soft cloth and an ammonia-free solution. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals, which can scratch or cloud the surface. There are more tips on our “how to clean window tint” page.

You can get a rough sense of it at home with a heat lamp and a thermometer. Aim the lamp at a tinted pane and at untinted glass in turn, and compare the readings behind each. It is an informal comparison rather than a lab test, but it shows how a ceramic film behaves against solar heat. For like-for-like numbers, ask your dealer for the published data on the exact film and shade.

Vehicle window tinting is regulated in Illinois, and those rules apply to cars tinted in Deerfield. Our window tint laws page sets out the current details for the state. Choosing a film is a separate step from meeting the rules, so confirm the shade you want with your installer before the work starts and keep the legal requirements for your vehicle in mind.

Ceramic film is designed to work on solar heat and ultraviolet energy while keeping the view out clean. Unlike metalized films, a non-metallic ceramic construction does not interfere with GPS, phone or radio reception, and it holds its color rather than turning purple the way older dyed films could. For Deerfield drivers who keep a car for years, that stability is a large part of the appeal.

It is the premium end of the tinting market because of what goes into the film. Nano-ceramic layers address solar heat and UV without the heavy mirrored look, the finish stays discreet, and there is no signal interference to work around. Deerfield owners who care about how a car looks and how it feels to sit in tend to choose ceramic for exactly that combination.

Start with our dealer locator page to see listed installers, or ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. If you are contacting a shop you found yourself, ask whether they can source and install Kepler film before booking, since availability is not confirmed everywhere.
