The Last
Tint You
Ever Buy.
Ceramic film blocks 60% of heat, 99% of UV, and zero radio signals. It does not fade. It does not purple. And it comes with a lifetime warranty. This is the one people wish they had started with.
Nano-Ceramic Film.
The Science Actually Works.
Ceramic tint is not just expensive carbon film with a fancier name. It uses completely different technology that produces results nothing else can match.
Ceramic window film uses nano-ceramic particles, microscopic non-metallic particles engineered to absorb and reflect infrared heat at the molecular level. There is no dye, no metal, no carbon. Just ceramic particles bonded into multiple layers of optical-grade polyester.
The result: up to 60% of solar heat blocked at any tint shade. A 70% ceramic film that looks nearly clear still blocks more heat than a 5% dyed film. That is the number that matters when you are sitting in traffic on I-78 in a Lebanon County July and wondering why your AC is still struggling.
Ceramic also blocks 99% of UV radiation. UV is what fades dashboards, cracks leather, breaks down upholstery stitching, and adds up on your skin over thousands of miles. Ceramic stops all of it without you having to go darker on your windows.
And because there is no metal, zero signal interference. GPS, E-ZPass, phone, backup cameras, Autopilot on EVs. All of it works exactly as before. This matters especially on Tesla and other EVs with sensor-dense glass.
Garage 717 installs XPEL, LLumar, and SunTek ceramic films. We match the right brand and shade to your vehicle and what Pennsylvania law allows on each window.
Nano-ceramic film technology and installation standards are governed by the International Window Film Association (IWFA), the global industry body for professional window film.

Six Reasons Ceramic is
the Permanent Upgrade
Nano-ceramic particles block up to 60% of infrared heat. Your car is dramatically cooler in summer. Your AC runs less. On a 90 degree day in Lebanon County, the difference between ceramic and no tint is not subtle. It is immediate.
UV rays fade dashboards, crack leather, and add up on your skin over thousands of miles. Ceramic film stops 99% of them at any shade. You can run a near-clear 70% film and still have full UV protection where Pennsylvania law requires it.
A light 70% ceramic film that looks almost clear still blocks significant heat. You do not need to go dark to get protection. This matters in Pennsylvania where front windows must stay at 70% VLT. Ceramic is the only film that delivers real protection at that shade.
No metal, no interference. GPS, E-ZPass, phone signal, backup cameras, satellite radio. Everything on your car keeps working exactly as it should. Ceramic delivers maximum heat rejection with zero signal compromise.
Ceramic particles do not react to UV. There is no organic dye to break down. The film you install today looks identical in year eight. That is why ceramic comes with a lifetime warranty against color change, not a three-year warranty. Lifetime.
XPEL, LLumar, and SunTek ceramic films maintain near-perfect optical clarity. No distortion, no haze, no green or blue color cast. You see the road exactly as you should, just with much less heat and UV coming through.
What Ceramic Actually
Does to Your Car’s Temperature
Real numbers. This is what ceramic film does on a hot PA summer day.
The Numbers That Make You Book an Appointment
Pennsylvania summers average around 85 to 90 degrees with high humidity. A car with no tint parked in direct sun can reach interior temperatures of 130 to 160 degrees within an hour. Running the AC to cool that down takes 10 to 20 minutes and drains your fuel or battery the whole time.
Ceramic film changes this significantly. Up to 60% of solar heat is blocked before it enters the car. The interior gets less hot to begin with, the AC reaches your target temperature faster, and you spend less time waiting for your car to become drivable. If you drive a Tesla or other EV, less AC load directly means more range per charge.
Ceramic vs Everything Else
The honest comparison. Ceramic leads on heat rejection. Carbon film costs less but does less. Chameleon is ceramic with a color-shifting effect on top.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| UV Protection | 99% | 99% | 99% | Up to 99% |
| Heat Rejection | Up to 60% | 40–50% | 45–55% | 15–25% |
| Works at 70% VLT | Yes | Partial | Yes | No |
| Fades / Purples | Never | Never | Never | Yes |
| Signal Interference | None | None | None | None |

The Film That Pays for
Itself Over Time.
Ceramic costs more upfront. It is also the last tint job you will ever need on that car. Here is who gets the most out of it.
You keep your cars for eight to twelve years. Ceramic film looks the same on day one as it does in year ten. You do not replace it, you do not watch it go purple. It just works, year after year, lifetime warranty intact.
Ceramic is the only film that gives maximum heat rejection with zero signal interference. Your Autopilot works, your GPS works, and your AC runs less because the cabin stays cooler. Less AC means more range per charge.
Pennsylvania requires 70% VLT on front windows. A 70% ceramic film that looks almost clear still blocks real heat. If you want protection without a noticeably darker look, ceramic is the only film that delivers.
If your car is worth protecting properly, ceramic is how you do it. XPEL and LLumar ceramic offer the best optical clarity available. No distortion, no visible imperfections, factory-quality result on every install.
You drive 45 minutes each way on I-78 or Route 422 in summer. The difference between ceramic and nothing is that your car actually cools down in a reasonable amount of time when you start it. Simple as that.
You do not want to think about window tint ever again. You want it done right and done once. Ceramic film with a lifetime warranty is exactly that. One appointment, one decision, done.
