Default New Windshield Protection Film

As some who attended our Open House last weekend, we presented to a few our new windshield protection film. It is a 4 mils thick polyester clear film w/ an ultra hard-coating on top that protects it from daily usage (windshield wiper blades, road debris, etc.). We just installed it on a Carrera GT whom the customer drove for 3 days and already experienced one marble sized rock that hit the film toward the top edge and not damage the glass. It did leave a minor scuff that is equivalent to a spec of sand. Below are some pictures of the film and its clarity.

The film is thermally applied (heat shrunk) to the windshield to conform to the contour of the glass. If anyone here is familiar with window tinting, heat shrinking is a valuable technique in performing one piece installations. This is no different..........only that the windshield film is 3.5 times thicker than standard tint.........not easy to shrink at all.

This product not only protects the glass from small debris that could crack and split the glass, but it also offers 99.9% UV protection. In addition, it adds an extra layer of protection to the occupants from road debris. The film does not affect visible light transmission, which means it will not alter the aesthetics or legality of "tint" on the windshield.

We also offer our new high-line nano-technology ceramic film for all windows (including windshield). The film rejects up to 81% of infrared rays and blocks approximately 50%-60% of solar heat w/o the need to go with a dark shade. The most beneficial part of ceramic film is that it will not affect with wireless signals (gps, radio freq, etc.). We have the film in 60%, 50%, and 40%. Both our ceramic line and windshield protection film reduces glare by up to 50%, which is helpful for night time driving.

Pricing will be based on vehicle glass size and difficulty. For more information about the products, please feel free to give us a call Monday-Sunday 10:30-6pm. Thanks guys!

Here are pictures of our high-line nano-technology ceramic film installed at 50% all around. At this shade, 50% of solar energy rejected, 99% UVs blocked, 78% infrared rejected, 60% glare reduced, wireless signal not affected, and film is ultra-clear.

Is this legal in California? I heard that Cal. Vehicle Code prohibits having anything attached to to the windshield.

California, technically, states that you in fact cannot place anything on the windshield. Reason for this is visibility. Taking this logic just another step though, is that the film is optically clear and does not affect visible light transmission.

What happens looking throught the windows with polarized sunglasses on? Sounds like your film is a polarized layer which gives a rainbow effect to those who wear polarized lenses.

They are both nano-technology films that produces excellent solar heat reduction w/o a) having to go dark b) affecting gps signals.

We have been using Madico window films for over 8 years now and it's known within industry leaders that Madico carries the clearest films around.

Hmm. Thanks for the info. I only know of one huberoptic installer, and you are in NorCal with the Madico. I always forget - the percentages are what again? How much light gets through or how much light is stopped? I understand the heat reduction is different though.
