Ceramic Window Tinting in Chapel Hill

Ceramic describes the film technology; infrared, or IR, describes a type of heat the film can help reduce. Kepler IR and IR+ are nano-ceramic automotive film ranges. To compare them, look at the performance of the exact film and shade rather than relying on either term alone.

Kepler IR and IR+ offer different ceramic film options for managing solar heat. A shade's visible light transmission tells you how much light passes through; it does not, by itself, tell you how the film performs against heat. Compare the exact film and shade when choosing for your vehicle.

Ceramic film can make driving more comfortable by reducing solar heat and glare. It also gives you a choice of window appearance and may help limit sun exposure to the interior. The result depends on the film, shade, vehicle glazing and conditions, so discuss your priorities with the installer.

The cost depends on the vehicle, the windows being filmed and the film selected. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it.

Clean the film gently with a soft cloth and a suitable nonabrasive cleaner. Follow your installer's care instructions, including when to clean newly installed film. Our window tint cleaning guide offers more care tips.

You may notice a difference in sun exposure when comparing an open window with a tinted, closed window, but that is only a casual impression. For a useful comparison, review the published data for the exact film and shade, and ask the installer how it applies to your vehicle.

North Carolina has rules for automotive window tint. Review the window tint laws before choosing a shade, and discuss your vehicle's windows with the installer. Film selection and legal compliance are separate decisions.
