Medical Reasons for Tint

Everyday windows block most of the sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, but allow much of the ultraviolet A (UVA) rays to pass right through.
Your windshield comes with both UVA & UVB protection, but the side and rear window do not.
Research increasingly points to UVA rays through the cars windows, allowing more than 60% to penetrate
UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, causing DNA damage that can accelerate skin aging and lead to skin cancer through your windows.

Multiple studies have demonstrated that millions of Americans spend large amounts of time driving their cars, which increases the risk of skin cancer.
Research & Dermatologists have observed that patients in the US have more sun damage, wrinkles, leathering, sagging, brown age spots & even cancer on the left side of their arms and faces, and may accelerate skin aging by 5 to 7 years.
Research has proven that skin exposed to the sun through window glass (in a vehicle, office or home) can lead to significant skin damage, & an increased risk of melanoma over time.
Babies and young children have little protective skin pigment and are usually in the back seat where none of the glass offers adequate UVA protection (even darker glass found in SUV’s and mini-vans do not block UVA rays.) Over time these children are at risk for DNA damage and skin cancer (melanoma.)

Window tint is available from clear to dark tints (in all 50 states), and screens out more than 99% of UVA & UVB rays, without reducing visibility.
In hot weather, it cuts down the heat within the vehicle (or home).
by using Window Tint UVA & UVB rays are cut 99.9% going thru the windows.
Darker window tint makes it harder to see what is in the car, whether it be children or the thought of breaking in, than a car with no window tint.
When a vehicle is broke into, the thief now has to cut through the window film, along with breaking the glass.
Window tint is a protection against glass shattering in a vehicle accident.

UV Radiation from the sun is associated with 90% of skin aging and skin cancers.
Studies estimate that 74 % of melanomas appear on the left side. This evidence suggests that UVA rays may be a contributor to the rise of the more invasive deadly form of skin cancer.
Certain pre-cancers can turn into squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common form of skin cancer.

The best safeguard against UV damage is window film (window tint), that is specially treated to screen out both UVA and UVB rays.
Cover up with clothing, long-sleeve shirts, long pants or using sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. Be sure to cover the top of your head, neck, hands and ears.
Take extra precautions in convertibles and cars with sunroofs.
Wear wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses
Keeping the windows down not only exposes you to UVA, but now the UVB that doesn’t go through the glass will now expose you as well.
