Protect Your Car’s Interior with SolarFX Window Films

Key Takeaways

  • UV rays cause fading, cracking, and deterioration of car interiors over time.
  • SolarFX Window Tint blocks 99% of harmful UV rays, preserving your vehicle’s upholstery and dashboard.
  • Champion Window Tinting provides professional UV-blocking tint installation in Cornelius, Huntersville, Mooresville, Davidson, and the Lake Norman area.



How UV Rays Damage Your Car’s Interior

The same ultraviolet (UV) rays that cause sunburn and skin damage also impact your vehicle’s interior. Over time, prolonged exposure to sunlight can lead to:

  • Faded Upholstery: Leather and fabric seats lose their original color and vibrancy.
  • Cracked Dashboards: Heat and UV exposure cause plastic components to become brittle and crack.
  • Deteriorated Trim & Panels: Door panels and other interior surfaces weaken, leading to peeling and damage.

The combination of UV radiation, infrared heat, and visible light accelerates this wear and tear. Without protection, your car’s interior can degrade rapidly, reducing its resale value and requiring costly repairs.

How Window Tinting Prevents Interior Damage

Installing SolarFX Window Tint is one of the best ways to protect your vehicle’s interior from UV exposure and heat buildup. Here’s how it works:

1. Blocks Harmful UV Rays

SolarFX tint blocks 99% of ultraviolet rays, preventing premature fading and extending the lifespan of your vehicle’s interior.

2. Reduces Heat Build-Up

By rejecting up to 98% of infrared heat, window tinting helps keep cabin temperatures lower, reducing the risk of heat damage to your dashboard and seats.

3. Protects Passengers from UV Exposure

Excessive UV exposure inside a car can contribute to skin damage and even skin cancer. SolarFX tints add an extra layer of UV protection for drivers and passengers.

The Cost of UV Damage vs. The Cost of Window Tinting

Protecting your car’s interior with window tinting is far more affordable than dealing with UV-related damage. Consider the costs:
