Anyone who lives and has been in Jacksonville, Florida, well knows that the city is home to lots of luxury yachts. Anyone who owns a yacht well knows that no such vessel is complete until the windows are coated with top-quality marine window tint. As in the rest of Florida, in Jacksonville, yacht window tint is a must-have primarily due to the hours of relentless sunshine that gives the very state its sunny name.
There’s a good reason almost every boat on the water is white – that’s the only color that is not damaged by sunlight. Any other color would be bleached, discolored, and faded in no time, especially with all the days of sunshine experienced in Jacksonville. Yacht cabin interiors can also be damaged by the sunlight with surprising speed.
The sun’s invisible but damaging UV light fades the flooring and upholstery and can cause the hard surfaces like tables and dashboards to weaken and crack. Marine window tint rejects an impressive 99% of the sun’s UV rays, protecting the interior of your yacht. Your yacht window film will also protect your skin from the cancer-causing effects of UV light.
Boat window film also blocks much of the other invisible portion of the sunlight spectrum, reducing the amount of near-infrared light that enters the yacht through the windows. This is the type of solar radiation responsible for elevating interior temperatures that make your cabin unpleasantly warm and necessitate the use of fuel-draining air-conditioning systems. Marine tint creates a cooler and more pleasant yacht interior even on the hottest days of the Florida summer. It will create a more private space too by limiting the view into your vessel but without limiting your view out from within the yacht.
Just make sure you work with a licensed Jacksonville yacht window tint installer when having your boat updated with window film because the laws regarding marine window tint are strict and specific. Avoid a citation and required removal of improper boat window film by having the project completed properly the first time.
