Ceramic vs nano-ceramic: which is better?

• Ceramic: strong heat rejection, clear visibility, great value
• Nano-ceramic: higher infrared rejection and premium clarity

Both options avoid signal interference and block 99%+ UV.

VLT (Visible Light Transmission) is how much light passes through your glass. Lower VLT is darker. We measure your factory tint and recommend VLT levels that stay compliant for each window position.
