The sleek, airy vibe that a sunroof adds to a car is definitely unbeatable. But in the scorching heat in India, this same feature can become a problem by turning your vehicle into a steam room. If you’ve been looking for a conducive solution for this, we recommend a high-quality sunroof film.
But can applying sunroof film reduce cabin heat? Let’s break it down.
Sunroofs, especially those made of glass, are notorious for letting in sunlight, as the name indicates. But it doesn’t just stop at sunshine. With that, you also receive intense heat and UV radiation. Even when closed, the glass surface can increase cabin temperature by several degrees, allowing in harmful UV rays that can potentially damage upholstery and the skin of the interiors. Moreover, it can force your AC to work harder, decreasing fuel efficiency.
This is where LLumar sunroof films come into play. Similar to window tints, they are designed to block solar heat gain and reduce the sun’s harshness. According to tests conducted by automotive thermal engineers and tint manufacturers, infrared heat rejection (IRR) in high-quality sunroof films can be as high as 80–98%, ultraviolet (UV) rejection is often rated at 99%, and cabin temperature can drop by 5°C to 10°C (9°F to 18°F) depending on the car model, external heat, and the type of film used.
A sunroof film is a virtually invisible layer that also contributes positively to your driving experience by shielding your sunroof from everyday wear and tear like rock chips, scratches, and stains, all while maintaining crystal-clear visibility. Engineered with self-healing technology, it repairs minor surface damage when exposed to heat, and its hydrophobic surface repels water, dirt, and grime for easy maintenance. Most importantly, it offers powerful UV protection, helping reduce heat build-up and protecting your car’s interiors from fading. It is not only durable but also long-lasting, keeping your vehicle protected and stylish for years.
Here are some more benefits of a LLumar sunroof film:
- Improved driving comfort
- Protection against interior fading
- Reduced glare
- More efficient climate control
- Enhanced resale value
So yes, sunroof films significantly reduce cabin heat. Backed by data, a quality film installation can make your car cooler, safer, and more comfortable, especially during harsh summers!
