What type of automotive films are there?
There are basically two types of automotive window films available today: Dyed and high performance metallized. Dyed or Non-Reflective Automotive Films are just that, dyed polyester with an adhesive and scratch coating on them. This type of film offers the minimum life span and is warranted for 5 years. Metallized or High Performance Automotive Films have a layer of metal over top of the dyed polyester. This construction allows the film to last longer, as the metal coating helps to better protect the film and subsequently your vehicle and passengers, from damaging sun rays. Metallized Films offer superior protection and longevity and is warranted for a lifetime.
