Aside from providing aesthetical value, window tinting for boats has advanced exponentially in the past couple of decades in providing the best protection for your boats and yachts. With the entry of industry leaders Huper Optik and 3M, the performance of window tints in blocking out solar energy, preventing degradation, and improving filtration greatly improved.
Much Ado About Tints
Here are the top five reasons you should also invest in window tints for your boat:
- Efficient temperature control: We’re all familiar with the luxury of ducking into a cool cabin after soaking in the sun’s warmth, but maintaining that cool temperature in your cabin requires excessive energy use and taps into precious fuel reserves. Tinting your windows blocks out up to 70% solar energy and dramatically reduces heat buildup, thus increasing the efficiency and cooling capacity of your air-conditioning unit.
- Blocks harmful rays: Applying tint on your boat’s windows will block up to 99.9% of UV rays and up to 98% of infrared rays, dramatically reducing exposure to harmful cancer-causing rays. Those rays can also cause rapid fading of your boat’s interior furnishings and materials. A top-grade tint can help to preserve your boat’s integrity.
- Reduces glare: If you’ve operated a ship for hours at a time, you’re no stranger to pesky eye fatigue brought about by squinting from excessive sun exposure. With window tint, you can shield out those rays, improve your optics and visibility, and decrease eye fatigue so you can maintain control and stay alert and keep your vessel in control.
- Privacy and protection: Applying tint of a certain level of dark shade can decrease exterior visibility, providing you with more privacy and lessening the exposure of your valuables to outsiders. The tint is also highly durable and serves as window reinforcement, thus making them stronger to the elements and less vulnerable to theft attempts as well as harsh weather.
