Health Benefits of Window Tinting
It’s not just for the look. Window tinting can help protect against skin cancer and eye damage, reduce aging of your interior, and increase efficiency of your a/c.
In today’s society staying healthy and protected from harmful elements has become a focus for most of us. This applies to our vehicles and their care as well as our homes and overall health. Summit Auto Spa uses window tints on your vehicle to help protect your car’s interior and you on your daily commutes and long trips.
Types of Tinting
At Summit Auto Spa, we use KAVACA brand carbon and ceramic tints which offer massive health benefits for all of us, from infants to seniors. Both lines of tint boast a 99% blockage of UV A & UV B sun rays. These UV rays are responsible for damage to our car’s paint and more importantly, our bodies while driving. As Americans, we spend a lot of time in our cars. We may use sunscreen to protect our skin outdoors but many of us don’t think of applying sunscreen when we get in the car for work or kid pick-ups. Window tint is a semi-permanent sunscreen for our vehicles’ windows. By having window tint installed you will be keeping you and your family 99% more protected from those UV rays that can cause skin cancers, melanomas, and sunburns.
Carbon Window Tint
Carbon window tint is a film installed using a liquid mixture and a small squeegee for easy adhesion to the interior of windows. Each window is custom fit with our carbon window tint film by our trained techs. The film itself boasts nano-carbon particles mixed in to absorb light, especially the sun’s infrared rays that carry heat. At Summit Auto Spa we use KAVACA Carbon X. This carbon window film delivers excellent color stability without sacrificing clarity, meaning no faded, purple tint after the first year! The heat rejection, glare control and UV protection accomplished through nano-scaled carbon particles is metal-free. This means your different mobile device signals won’t suffer connection issues using Carbon X. Additionally, carbon-tinted windows provide a cooler interior for your ride by blocking those rays, reducing visible light transmission, which means fewer glares, day and night, and is a cheaper option for car owners.
Ceramic Window Tint
KAVACA Ceramic IR film tint offers the same benefits as Carbon X but goes further by adding advanced glare reduction to their lineup to reduce incoming road glares, street lights, blinding lights, etc. These things may not seem that important to the average driver but to someone who has astigmatisms, reduced eyesight, or glaucomas this has the potential to help make driving safer and more enjoyable again. KAVACA Ceramic IR is manufactured with state-of-the-art technology and a proprietary formulation of nano-ceramic technology with an IR layer to deliver excellent heat rejection, glare control, and UV protection that is metal-free, supporting signal clarity for all types of electronic devices. KAVACA Ceramic IR lets you customize your car with any of the 7 shades and offers a non-reflective, color-stable finish that will not fade over time.

Is it Worth the Investment?
While carbon tints are usually less expensive than ceramic tints, making them appealing for those on a strict budget, considering the ceramic tint as an investment can help determine the right tint for your lifestyle. Despite the higher initial cost, the superior protection and longevity KAVACA Ceramic IR offers make it a worthwhile investment in the long term.
Regardless of the type you choose, installing window tinting will extend the life of your vehicle’s interior and make your daily drives cooler.
