Visual comparison of premium ceramic window films including DUB IR Ceramic, 3M Crystalline, Llumar, and XPEL.

Visible Light Transmission (VLT)
Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) / Infrared rejection (IR)

While many consumers focus on infrared rejection (IR), Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) is often the best indicator of real-world heat rejection performance.
Premium films such as DUB IR Ceramic, 3M Crystalline, Llumar Stratos, Llumar IRX, and XPEL XR Plus all provide significant heat reduction, UV protection, and improved comfort.

Window Tint Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best window tint for blocking heat

Ceramic window tint is widely considered the best option for reducing heat while maintaining excellent visibility and long-term performance. Unlike dyed or metallic films, ceramic tint uses advanced nano-ceramic technology to reject infrared heat, block harmful UV rays, and help keep your vehicle cooler without interfering with GPS, cell phone, or radio signals. At Eye Kandy Wraps, we install premium DUB IR Ceramic Window Film to provide exceptional heat rejection and driving comfort.

What is TSER, and why does it matter?

TSER stands for Total Solar Energy Rejected. It measures the total amount of solar energy—including visible light, infrared heat, and ultraviolet radiation—that a window film blocks from entering your vehicle.

Many people focus only on infrared (IR) rejection, but TSER is generally considered the best single measurement of a window film's real-world heat rejection performance. A higher TSER percentage means less solar heat enters your vehicle, helping keep the interior cooler and reducing the load on your air conditioning system.

Is DUB IR Ceramic comparable to other well known brands?

Yes. Based on published performance specifications, DUB IR Ceramic performs competitively with premium films such as 3M Crystalline, Llumar IRX, Llumar Stratos, and XPEL XR Plus. Depending on the shade selected, DUB IR Ceramic offers similar or even higher TSER values while providing excellent optical clarity, UV protection, and infrared heat rejection. Choosing the right installer is just as important as choosing the film itself, as proper installation directly affects the final appearance and long-term performance.

What is the difference between ceramic & carbon tint?

Ceramic window tint provides significantly better heat rejection than traditional carbon films because it uses advanced ceramic particles instead of carbon pigments. Ceramic films block more infrared heat, reject over 99% of harmful UV rays, and will not interfere with electronic signals such as GPS, Bluetooth, satellite radio, or mobile devices.

Carbon window tint offers an attractive appearance and better performance than basic dyed films, but ceramic window tint delivers the highest level of heat rejection, comfort, and long-term durability.

Does ceramic window tint block UV rays?

Yes. Premium ceramic window films block over 99% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, helping protect your skin while reducing fading, cracking, and discoloration of your vehicle's interior. UV protection is one of the biggest long-term benefits of ceramic window tint, especially in Arizona's intense sun.

Will tint interfere with GPS, cell phones, or radio signals?

No. Because ceramic window tint is non-metallic, it will not interfere with GPS navigation, Bluetooth, satellite radio, cellular reception, keyless entry systems, or other electronic devices. This is one of the primary advantages of ceramic window film over older metallic tint technologies.

How dark should I tint my windows?

The best shade depends on your goals, your vehicle, and Arizona window tint laws. Many customers choose:
70% for windshields (where permitted)
50% for maximum visibility with excellent heat rejection
35% for a balanced appearance and performance
20% for a darker look with strong privacy
5% for maximum privacy on rear windows
We'll help you choose the best combination based on your preferences and legal requirements.

How long does ceramic window tint last?

High-quality ceramic window tint can last for many years when professionally installed. Premium films resist fading, bubbling, peeling, and discoloration far better than inexpensive dyed films. Proper installation and quality materials help ensure your tint continues to look great and perform well over the long term.

Is window tint worth it in Arizona?

Absolutely. Arizona's intense sunlight and summer temperatures make ceramic window tint one of the most beneficial upgrades you can make to your vehicle. Quality tint helps reduce interior temperatures, improves driving comfort, protects interior materials from UV damage, reduces glare, and can make your air conditioning system work more efficiently.
