Windscreen Safety Film
Most of the heat that enters our vehicle, enters through the windscreen. The sun’s infrared (IR) rays cause the temperature inside your vehicle to become unbearably hot and at the same time the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays also cause irreversible damage to our vehicles interior and more importantly, to our skin.
Windscreen Safety Film
Even if you have film on all your side windows, you are missing the main and possibly most important source of heat and harmful rays – your windscreen.
Our pristine Nano Ceramic Windscreen Film provides higher heat rejection and IR rejection than a standard dyed or metalized window film therefore keeping your vehicle cooler. By reducing the temperature inside your vehicle, you reduce the need to run the air-conditioning system at full capacity in essence decreasing fuel usage.
