Ceramic Tint

KAVACA Ultimate IR — the most advanced nano-ceramic automotive window film ever created. Blocks up to 99% of infrared heat while keeping factory-clear visibility, rejecting UV, and looking impossibly sharp on any vehicle.

Ultimate IR™
Nano-Ceramic Tint

Ceramic Pro KAVACA Ultimate IR is built around a proprietary nano-ceramic IR-blocking layer that targets the specific infrared wavelengths that make your cabin feel hot — without dye, without metal, and without compromising the look of your glass.

The result is a film that looks dramatically lighter than a traditional tint at the same shade, while rejecting more heat than tints two or three steps darker. Comfort, clarity, and protection — without the limo-tint trade-off.

The Difference You Feel

96°F outside.
74°F in the cabin.

On a Kansas summer afternoon, untreated glass lets up to 60% of solar heat through — turning your cabin into a furnace and forcing your A/C to work overtime.

Ultimate IR's nano-ceramic particles selectively block infrared wavelengths from 780 nm to 2,500 nm. Your cabin stays cool, your dash, leather, and electronics stay safer, and your fuel/EV range improves.

What Makes It Ultimate

Six things you can't
get from a dyed tint.

Most window tints are dyed polyester. Ultimate IR is a nano-ceramic-particle composite — and the difference is in how it performs every single day you drive.

True IR Blocking

Rejects up to 99% of infrared heat — the part of sunlight that actually feels hot on your skin — using selective nano-ceramic absorption, not reflective metal.

99.9% UV Rejection

Equivalent to SPF 1000+. Protects your skin from UVA/UVB on long drives and keeps your dashboard, leather, and electronics from fading and cracking.

Color-Stable for Life

No dye, no fade. Ultimate IR will never turn purple, bubble, or go cloudy — and it's backed by a transferable lifetime warranty against failure.

Zero Signal Interference

No metal layer means no degraded GPS, no flaky Bluetooth, no LTE / 5G drop-outs, and no interference with toll transponders or keyless entry.

Crystal-Clear Visibility

High visible-light transmission on lighter shades and razor-sharp clarity on darker ones — no haze, no graininess, no glare bouncing back at night.

Safety Reinforcement

An adhesive layer holds shattered glass together in a side-impact or break-in attempt — keeping fragments out of the cabin and the glass intact longer.

Choose Your Shade

Seven shades.
One nano-ceramic film.

Visible Light Transmission (VLT) ranges from 5% (limo-dark) to 70% (nearly invisible). Every shade gets the same 99% IR rejection and 99.9% UV protection. Local laws apply — we'll walk you through what's legal in Kansas and Missouri.

Ceramic vs Dyed

Why pay more
for ceramic?

A traditional dyed window tint will save you a few dollars today and cost you in heat, fade, and bubbling within a few summers. Here's what changes when you go nano-ceramic.

Standard

Dyed Tint

  • ~30% IR rejection
  • Fades purple in 2–4 yrs
  • Bubbles & delaminates
  • Limited warranty
  • Can interfere with signal
Ultimate IR

Nano-Ceramic

  • Up to 99% IR rejection
  • Color-stable for life
  • Will not bubble or peel
  • Lifetime warranty
  • Zero signal interference

Frequently Asked Questions

How is ceramic tint different from regular window tint?

Traditional tint is dyed polyester — it absorbs light using a pigment, which fades over time and only blocks heat as a side effect of being darker. Metalized tints reflect heat but can interfere with cell, GPS, and radio signals.

KAVACA Ultimate IR uses nano-ceramic particles suspended in the film. Those particles specifically target infrared wavelengths — the part of the sun that produces heat — without relying on darkness or metal. You get dramatically more heat rejection at any given shade, no fading, and zero signal interference.

What shades are legal in Kansas and Missouri?

Kansas allows 35% VLT or darker on the driver and front-passenger windows, with darker shades permitted on rear windows. Missouri allows 35% VLT on front side windows. SUVs, trucks, and vans typically have more freedom on rear windows in both states.

We're fully versed in the legal limits on both sides of the state line and will recommend the right combination of shades for your vehicle. Medical exemptions can apply — bring your paperwork.

How long does it take to install?

A typical sedan takes about 2–3 hours, and a full SUV with a rear hatch about 3–4 hours. We can do same-day appointments in most cases, and we offer a comfortable lounge with Wi-Fi if you'd like to wait. Curing is virtually complete by the time you drive off — full cure happens over the next several days, during which we ask you not to roll your windows down.

Will Ultimate IR turn purple or bubble like older tints?

No. Purple-fade and bubbling are caused by dye breakdown and adhesive failure — both of which are properties of cheaper dyed films. Ultimate IR contains no dyes at all, and uses a manufacturer-grade adhesive that's tested over the lifetime of the vehicle. Your lifetime warranty covers both, just in case.

Can ceramic tint be combined with windshield protection or PPF?

Absolutely — and it's one of our favorite stack-ups. Many of our clients add a clear KAVACA windshield film for full-vehicle UV and IR coverage, and pair it with a Paint Protection Film or Ceramic Pro coating on the body. Mention it when you book and we'll bundle a quote.

How much does Ceramic Tint cost?

Pricing depends on the vehicle, the shades you choose, and how many windows you include. As a guideline, a typical full-vehicle KAVACA Ultimate IR install starts in the mid-hundreds and scales with vehicle size and complexity. The lifetime warranty is included — there are no add-on warranty packages.

The fastest way to get an accurate number is to send us your year/make/model and we'll quote you back the same day.
