The three films we install
- The value pick for style and privacy.Our most popular choice.Best for glass roofs, EVs and hot inland commutes.
Heat: the difference you actually feel
Shade (VLT) tells you how dark a film looks, not how much heat it blocks. Infrared is the heat component of sunlight, and that’s where ceramic and IR films pull ahead. Since California limits front windows to 70% VLT, a light ceramic or IR film is the only way to get meaningful heat rejection on the glass right next to you.
Clarity and signal
Both carbon and ceramic are non-metallic, so neither interferes with phone, GPS, radio or Tesla phone-key. Ceramic films tend to offer slightly crisper optical clarity, especially at night.
Our recommendation
Daily driver, budget-conscious, mostly want privacy: Carbon X. Want a noticeably cooler cabin: Ceramic IR. EV, glass roof, Tri-Valley heat or “I want the best”: Ultimate IR. Come see the films on your own glass at our Fremont shop.
