Metalized window tint, heat on a budget.
Metalized tint is strong heat rejection from a durable metal-particle film, at a mid-range price. Note: the metal can interfere with GPS, mobile and radio signals, so we steer tracked vehicles toward ceramic or carbon instead.
What metalized tint gives you.
Metalized window tint uses tiny metal particles to reflect heat, giving good heat rejection and a durable, scratch-resistant film at a mid-range price. It also adds a slight reflective sheen to the glass.
The trade-off is signals: the metal can interfere with GPS, mobile and radio reception. For a tracked vehicle, or any car where you rely on strong phone signal, we recommend ceramic or carbon tint instead, which give similar comfort without the interference.

Metalized tint: tough and bright, with one caveat.
Metalized film rejects heat using a fine layer of metal particles, which makes it durable, strongly reflective and a little stronger as glass. For owners who want a hard-wearing tint at a mid-range price, it holds up for years without fading.
There is one honest caveat we always flag: the metal layer can interfere with signals. It may weaken phone reception, keyless entry and, importantly, a GPS car tracker mounted near treated glass. If your priority is a tracker that never misses a ping, we usually steer you to ceramic or carbon instead, both completely signal-safe.
Where metalized still shines is on vehicles that do not depend on in-cabin signal, or as a budget step up from dyed film with much better heat rejection and durability.
Whichever film you choose, remember tint is only the heat-and-UV layer. Anti-shatter film is what actually resists a smash-and-grab, and a tracker with 24/7 recovery is what gets the car back if it is stolen. Compare all five films on the window tint page and message us for a quote.
Questions, answered.
Does metalized tint block GPS or phone signal?
It can. The metal particles can interfere with GPS, mobile and radio signals. For a tracked vehicle we recommend ceramic or carbon tint instead.
Why choose metalized tint at all?
It offers good heat rejection and durability at a mid-range price, suitable where signal interference is not a concern.
