The Sun Doesn't Stop at Your Car Window

Both UVA and UVB are forms of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, but they affect your skin differently.

• UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburn.
• UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are associated with premature aging and long-term sun damage.

While you may not feel or see UVA exposure during your daily drive, it can accumulate over time.

Window film doesn't have to be dark to provide excellent UV protection. Many XPEL PRIME™ Window Films are available in lighter shades that maintain visibility while blocking over 99% of harmful UV rays and helping reduce heat entering the vehicle.

Not necessarily.

XPEL offers a variety of film shades, including nearly clear options designed for drivers who want UV and heat protection without dramatically changing the appearance of their vehicle.

Your local XPEL installer can help you choose a film that fits your preferences while complying with local tint laws.

Yes.

In addition to blocking harmful UV rays, XPEL Window Film helps reduce solar heat entering the vehicle by rejecting infrared heat. That can help keep the cabin more comfortable, especially during hot summer months, and reduce the amount of time your air conditioning needs to cool the vehicle.

Yes.

Sunlight can contribute to fading, discoloration, and premature wear of leather, vinyl, plastics, dashboards, and upholstery over time.

By reducing UV exposure, window film helps preserve your vehicle's interior and keep it looking newer longer.

In many areas, yes—but regulations vary.

Some states allow clear or nearly clear protective films on the windshield, while others limit where they can be installed.

Your certified XPEL installer can explain the laws in your area and recommend products that comply with local regulations.

XPEL Window Film is engineered for long-lasting performance and is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty against issues such as bubbling, peeling, cracking, discoloration, and delamination when professionally installed.

The cost depends on several factors, including:

• Your vehicle
• The windows you choose to cover
• The film series you select
• Local installation pricing

A certified XPEL installer can provide a personalized quote and help you compare available options.

Even if you're inside your vehicle, sunlight can still reach you through the windows. While your windshield blocks most UV radiation, many side windows allow a portion of UVA rays to pass through. Over months and years of commuting, that exposure can add up. XPEL PRIME™ Window Film helps block over 99% of harmful UV rays, adding another layer of protection for you and your passengers.
