New Solar Gard Automotive Window Film Hits the Market
Offering complete range of products from clear on glass to traditionally dark
SAN DIEGO, June 21 -- Solar Gard Supreme and Solar Gard Ultra Performance, the newest industry-leading, sun-protective automotive window film lines are now available in the U.S. The new Solar Gard offerings give consumers exceptional solar control and protection, color stability, and a lifetime warranty -- with finishes ranging from the traditionally darkened tint to a pioneering clear, transparent appearance.
"The new Solar Gard window films are for individuals who want to improve their driving climate, and who seek protection from the damaging effects of the sun on their skin and interior cabin space," said Peter Lovasz, product market manager. "Supreme and Ultra Performance are the direct result of state- of-the-art window film research and development efforts, making possible a virtually colorless film with all the solar control benefits of a dark-tinted or reflective product. In short, these new products make it possible for consumers to reap the immediate and long-term benefits of window film with the option for adding privacy to their glass or maintaining its clear appearance."
Ultra Performance
Ultra Performance is designed for consumers who seek to filter out the sun's harmful rays without changing the appearance of their vehicle's windows. Ultra Performance's nanotechnology-enabled performance maintains clear glass appearance, while being the first on the market to provide a 75% visible light transmission (VLT) level and an optional 49% VLT film that is lightly tinted. Other key benefits of Ultra Performance 75 include:
o Total solar energy rejection performance of 40-48%;
o Blocks 99% of Ultraviolet rays, protecting automobile interiors from premature fading;
o Suitable for installation onto factory-tinted glass;
o Complies with over 75% of U.S. states' tinting laws.
Solar Gard Supreme
Solar Gard Supreme is an upgrade to the traditionally dark, sleek and stylish window film. This series is a complement to factory-tinted windows, and is a choice option for car owners who want the traditional look of tinted windows. Solar Gard Supreme comes in visible light transmission levels of 6, 8, 18 and 28%. Other benefits of Solar Gard Supreme include:
o Total solar energy rejection performance ranging 16-42%;
o Blocks 99% of Ultraviolet rays, protecting automobile interiors from premature fading;
o Extruded-dyed polyester offers dark, matte finish that will not degrade with exposure to the sun.
Both Ultra Performance and Supreme are made using an advanced process which is non-metallized, and the films are not traditionally dyed, which enhances performance and finish. This allows for the film's unparalleled color stability, maintaining appearance without turning purple. Further, the films do not interfere with radio frequencies, maintaining complete use of cell phones, AM/FM radio and GPS. Both lines have scratch-resistant coatings and are easily cleaned and maintained. In addition, both series carry a limited lifetime warranty.
