WHAT IS AUTOMOTIVE PRIVACY GLASS?

Privacy glass is found on the rear or sides of a vehicle. It’s made in a similar tempered process; however, the auto glass is infused with a dye or pigment that simply darkens the window. It basically provides a “tint” that helps to block light and makes it more difficult for people to see into the vehicle. Hence the name “privacy glass”.

The ‘factory tint or tinted glass’ is physically no different than standard tempered automotive glass. In fact, if you were to remove the darkened pigment from the manufacturing process, the two windows would provide the same attributes.
The Elite Tinting Company Florida team has compiled some of the features of privacy glass to help you make your decision. Check it out below.

Here is a list of things that privacy glass is not capable of – but window tint or film can do – based on the type of film:

BLOCK 99.9% UVA AND UVB RAYS

UV rays cause materials to dry out and age, such as your cars dashboard, leather trim, and even textiles. It’s also the emission from the sun that can lead to skin cancers.

REDUCE GLARE

The sun’s rays reflect off the glass – which produces a visual glare impairment. Many window tints – such as KAVACA Carbon CS are infused with microscopic particles that absorb those refracting rays – which reduces the visible glare. This helps to improve visibility while driving.

LOWER HEAT

Infrared rays or IR is the emission of the sun that produces heat. As the sun rises, infrared emissions are increased – which is why it gets hotter as the day progresses and starts to cool when the sun begins to fall. These Infrared rays penetrate glass. While all automotive glass has some IR-blocking tendencies, privacy glass in general does not provide more heat blocking than transparent automotive glass.

REDUCED SHATTERING

As stated above, privacy glass is simply a dye or pigment – it’s not a vinyl or polymer infused in the middle of the glass. Window film is that material that helps to bind the glass together in case of an accident.
