Less infrared heat
On a 100-degree afternoon, the heat coming through the glass is what you notice first: the wheel, the seats, your arm by the window. Ceramic IR blocks up to 87% of the infrared, so the cabin stays calmer.

Union Ceramic IR blocks up to 87% of infrared heat, the most of any Union car film, and it doesn’t need a dark shade to do it. No metal: phone, GPS and radio work normally.

Works in a light shade too
Shade and heat are separate choices. Ceramic IR’s heat control comes from what the film is made of, not how dark it is, so a 50% or 70% shade still turns back infrared while the view stays clear.
Signals pass through
There’s no metal in Ceramic IR, so nothing in the film gets between your phone and the network. Calls, GPS, radio, toll tags and phone-as-key work just as they did before the film went on.
Made for long drives
On a long commute or a road trip, the sun works on one side of you for hours. Ceramic IR keeps that side cooler and blocks 99.99% of UV, so your arm and the seat beside the window are protected too.
EVs and glass roofs
An EV cools its cabin on battery power, and a big glass roof lets in a lot of sun. Ceramic IR turns back infrared without metal, so connected features keep working. Ask about roof glass when you request your price.
Holds its color
Ceramic IR is built on Union’s carbon base, which holds its color instead of fading toward purple the way dyed film does. The shade you choose on the day is the shade you keep.
How ceramic worksWhat is ceramic window tint?
Ceramic IR is Union’s carbon film with a ceramic layer added. That layer works on infrared, the heat you feel, while visible light passes as your shade allows. There’s no metal in it, so signals pass and the glass never takes on a mirror look.
So shade and heat are two choices. The shade decides how dark the glass looks and what Texas allows on the front windows; the film decides how much infrared gets in. A 50% Ceramic IR keeps a light, near-factory look and still turns back infrared.
