Car window tint can use dyed, metallised or ceramic construction. “Athermal” describes a solar heat-control purpose and can involve different technologies. Ceramic and athermal film are therefore not necessarily separate choices.
| Type | Construction | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Dyed | Uses colourants for darkening. | Colour stability, UV protection and solar properties of the product. |
| Metallised | Contains metallic layers. | Reflection, specifications and compatibility with vehicle equipment. |
| Ceramic | Uses ceramic components. | Solar performance, shade and the actual product's warranty terms. |
Hybrid and multilayer constructions also exist. “Athermal” does not necessarily mean metal, clear appearance or one VLT rating. One ceramic line can have different shades and specifications; the name alone does not establish the result.
A dark colour does not identify the film's construction. View a sample outside and from inside: colour, reflection, factory-glass match and visibility in low light. Check the offered material's compatibility with glass antennas and other equipment on your model.
UV protection is not exclusive to ceramic: LLumar FormulaOne Classic, for example, is a dyed product advertised to block more than 99% of UV. This is a specific product example, not a rating for all dyed films or confirmation of studio stock. The whole FormulaOne family cannot be described as metallised.
Compare suitable products at similar light transmission under matching test conditions. VLT describes visible light, TSER total solar energy rejection. IR concerns infrared; its percentage is not a cabin temperature reduction.
The LLumar performance table lists these measures separately. A test-glass rating may differ from your car's result. Read our tint percentage guide and heat-control film comparison.
For LLumar, LuxArmor or another offered material, ask for the exact product, availability and total price. Do not estimate a premium using a universal “ceramic costs several times more” multiplier. See the complete film selection guide.
BESTAUTO starting entries: front side windows from 130 ₾, rear sides from 130 ₾, rear window from 160 ₾, windshield from 290 ₾. Agree the selected set and work, including old-film removal, before fitting.
Removal depends on film, adhesive and glass condition. Any extra work is assessed after inspection; a film category does not establish one removal method. See the film defects and removal guide. Current pricing is on the service page. All services are available at both studios: Saburtalo and Guramishvili.
Ceramic describes construction; athermal describes heat control. A ceramic product can be athermal; check its specifications.
There is no one lifespan for the category. Colour stability, care and warranty depend on the product line; a colour change in old film needs assessment.
Compare solar figures at similar VLT and matching measurement methods. Colour and category labels do not select a winner.
Check product and care conditions. Warranty duration and service life are different; one set of years cannot be promised for every product.
Assess removal and glass condition first, then agree the new material, cost and work time.
