How thick is the car window film generally? Is the thicker the better?

The thickness of car window film is not closely related to its quality, but it can affect its usability because some window gaps are very small. If the film is too thick, it can affect the use of the window. Therefore, the thicker the film, the better. Of course, a film that is too thin is also easy to scratch, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages. So, what thickness of film is generally better?

Firstly, how about a thick car film

Advantages: Good explosion-proof performance, and the film is not easily damaged.
Disadvantages: If it is too thick, it is easy to be scratched by the car window, which affects the appearance and visibility. In addition, there is a higher chance of layering and debonding during later use, and even leads to lifting problems of the car window glass.

How about a thin car film

Advantages: Not easily scratched by car windows: When light passes through thin films, refraction and scattering are not strong, and the field of view can be clearer.
Disadvantages: For thin films to have good performance, high requirements are placed on the film making process; If it is too thin, it is not very explosion-proof; If the film is too thin, the internal insulation coating is easily damaged, and the insulation effect will also be greatly reduced.

In summary, how thick is the car film generally good?

Both too thick and too thin car film can easily lead to usage and product quality issues. After decades of development, major car film manufacturers currently use products with a thickness of 1.5mil-3.0mil.Not only does it ensure the insulation of the car film, the function of isolating ultraviolet and infrared rays, but it also ensures the explosion-proof of the windows. Choose the perspective that suits you within the range you like and can be used for driving.

  • The thickness of the thermal insulation and explosion-proof solar film is between 1.5mil-3.0mil, effectively meeting the needs of car owners.
  • Effectively blocking solar heat and reducing refrigeration costs; Green is more environmentally friendly.
  • Block UV rays from sunlight, prevent aging of interior items, protect health, and create a harmonious and comfortable internal environment.
  • Safe and explosion-proof, avoiding property damage, and not affecting signal transmission of electronic devices such as GPS, navigation, and mobile phones.
