Calculate UV protection levels and health benefits from window tint films
UV radiation exposure while driving is a serious but often overlooked health concern. Prolonged exposure can cause skin damage, premature aging, and increase skin cancer risk. Many people don't realize how much UV protection different window tints provide or understand their personal risk level.
Our UV protection calculator analyzes your personal risk factors including skin type, driving habits, and climate to calculate the UV protection benefits of different tint films. Based on dermatological research and UV exposure data, it provides personalized recommendations for optimal protection.

Benefits:
Quality window tint films block 99% or more of both UVA and UVB radiation, providing excellent protection comparable to high-SPF sunscreen.
Yes, even light tints (70% VLT) block 99% of UV radiation. The UV protection comes from the film material itself, not the darkness level.
Yes, studies show higher rates of skin cancer on the left side of the body (driver's side) due to UV exposure while driving. Window tint significantly reduces this risk.
Factory glass blocks most UVB but allows significant UVA transmission. Adding tint film provides complete protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
Quality tint films all provide 99%+ UV protection. The difference is in other performance factors like heat rejection and clarity.
Quality window tint provides protection equivalent to SPF 50+ sunscreen and doesn't need reapplication like topical sunscreen.
Even light tints (70% VLT) provide 99% UV protection. Choose based on legal requirements and visibility needs, not UV protection alone.
Consider tinting all windows, not just the front ones. Rear passengers, especially children, need UV protection too.
Choose quality tint films from reputable manufacturers. Cheap films may not provide advertised UV protection and can fail over time.
Window tint is excellent but combine with sunscreen, protective clothing, and sunglasses for maximum protection.
