window tinting

Automotive window tint is one of the most popular car enhancements available today. DeDona Tint and Sound offers window tinting for all kinds of vehicles, including cars, SUVs, trucks, and RVs. Aside from aesthetic appeal, there are many reasons that vehicle owners choose to have automotive window tint professionally installed.

1.  Reduce heat and avoid overheating. Heat build-up in your car is not only uncomfortable for you and your passengers, it can put a strain on your engine and air-conditioning system as well. Tinted windows help to minimize the accumulation of heat within a vehicle. In fact, some films on the market today offer an 85 to 95% heat rejection rate. That translates into a much cooler car, even on the hottest and most humid days.

2.  Protect your vehicle’s interior. The UV rays of the sun can damage the interior of your car. Upholstery may fade after long-term exposure to the sun. Leather seats may crack and become brittle as well. Tinted windows block 99% of the sun’s harmful rays, protecting your car’s interior from pre-mature aging.

3.  Protect your skin. Just like your car’s interior, your skin is susceptible to damage from the UVA and UVB rays that filter into your vehicle through the windows. Sun damage to your skin can lead to cancer. Window tinting can block those damaging rays and prevent you and your passengers from dangerous sun exposure.

4.  Reduce glare. Tinted windows help reduce the glare of the sun during daytime driving and the glare of headlights at night. This reduction will allow drivers to have a clearer view of the road and ideally, be able to avoid deadly accidents.

5.  Improve fuel-efficiency. Because tinted windows keep a car’s interior so much cooler, there is less strain put on the vehicle’s engine and air-conditioner. Drivers are able to save some money because they will not be wasting fuel by cooling down their car dramatically each time it has been sitting for long periods of time.

6.  Protection during an accident. In the event of an accident, window tint can help shattered glass hold together, protecting you and your passengers from dangerous shards of glass that may result from an impact.

7.  Improve security. Window tinting blocks a potential thief’s view of the valuables inside your vehicle. A criminal is less likely to break-in to a car unless he knows that there is something he wants. Darkened windows can deter thieves who attempt to “smash-and-grab” valuables from your vehicle.

8.  Improves appearance. Tinted windows add a sophisticated style to any vehicle. Whether you prefer to make a bold statement or desire a subtler look, various shades of tint are available to fulfill all of your style requirements. However, drivers must follow local window tinting regulations and guidelines in order to avoid costly fines and tint removal.

Windows are one of the best features in a home. They allow sunlight to brighten the room and give you a view of the world outside. However, too much sunlight can heat up your home, fade your furniture and more. Window tint offers numerous benefits to homeowners that want to enjoy the world outside without dealing with the negative effects that the glaring sun can have on their home.

You may be familiar with window tinting for your car or truck. Take a look around and you will notice it on many vehicles. This same technology is used on homes as well. Many homeowners have discovered the advantages to window tinting. Listed here are six reasons that window tinting is a valuable addition to any home.

1. Protect your furniture. The sun’s UV rays can penetrate through your windows and into your home. Prolonged exposure to these rays can cause your furniture, rugs, carpet and upholstery to fade over time. Many homeowners spend their days with closed draperies to reduce this exposure. If fading is an issue for you, window tinting can help. Window tint blocks the damaging sunrays that can diminish the look of your furniture. With tinted windows, you can leave your draperies and blinds open knowing that your fine furniture and accessories will be okay.

2. Reduce glare. Have you ever tried to watch your favorite program only to have the sun’s glare make it almost impossible to see the screen? Those of us who spend time on a computer are familiar with this problem as well. Tinted windows block a significant amount of the sun’s glare so no matter where the sun is, you can watch TV, read a book, work on the computer or complete any task without the sun’s glare blocking your vision.

3. Reduce the sun’s damaging UV rays. It has been proven that prolonged exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer, as well as other health problems. We often do not think much about sun exposure when we are home. However, the sun’s damaging rays can penetrate a traditional window, exposing you and your family to possible skin damage. Window tint films can reduce this exposure by 90% or more. This simple addition can make a big difference in the health of your family.

4. Increase energy savings. Window tint acts as an insulator that keeps out heat in the summer and prevents heat loss in the winter. This can save homeowners substantial money on their heating and cooling bills.

5.Enhance privacy. Privacy film can be used to prevent others from peering into your windows, while still allowing you to have an unobstructed view outside. You are able to enjoy your privacy without having to keep your blinds closed all day.

6. Improve safety and security. Accidents happen and it is not uncommon for a window to get broken. When the glass breaks, it can shatter into many small pieces and spread glass all around. This can be extremely dangerous to anyone standing nearby. With some tint film, the glass fragments stay attached to the film. This reduces the chance of injury from flying glass and makes clean up much easier.

Tinting your home windows is a good way to add comfort, security and value to your home. This is not a do-it-yourself kind of job. Hire window tint experts in your area that are highly experienced and qualified at properly installing window tint for the home.

Depending on what part of the country you live in, winter driving can be a challenge. Cold weather and occasional freezes can make getting into your car each morning uncomfortable. A remote starter, GPS navigation system, paint protection film, and window tint can make driving a more pleasant experience this winter.

No matter how much you enjoy driving your SUV or car, chances are that there are some customizations that would make it better. When you consider how much time we spend in our cars each year, it makes sense to invest in upgrades that will make driving more enjoyable and comfortable. This is especially true in the winter months when climbing into a cold car in the morning becomes practically unbearable. Luckily, there are some cost-efficient ways to make cold weather driving a little more comfortable this winter.

1. Remote Start and Entry: This affordable piece of technology allows you to start your vehicle’s engine with just the push of a button. Imagine being able to finish up your cup of coffee while your car safely warms up outside. With some remote start systems, you can defrost your windshield and back window. It allows you to warm up the interior of your vehicle so that when you go out to your car in the morning, you are able to sit down in a warm, comfortable seat with a clear windshield. Plus, it gives your engine time to warm up which is crucial to keeping it in good working order. Wouldn’t it be great to never have to sit in a cold car waiting for it to warm up while your fingers and toes freeze?
2. GPS Navigation System: Even when the roads are bad from a winter storm, you may still need to travel to work or elsewhere. When weather conditions are unfavorable, you need to keep your focus on the road and not be worried about getting lost. A GPS navigation system helps you find your way, no matter where you are travelling. Even in poor visibility or slippery conditions, your GPS will guide you to a safe location where you can rest for the night or wait for the snow plows to clear the road. A GPS lets you focus on driving safely and helps you find alternative routes if needed.
3. Paint Protection Film: Salt, snow, and ice can damage the paint on your vehicle. Protection films can be applied to your vehicle to protect your paint from damaging substances that are often encountered when travelling during the winter. These strong protective films prevent salt, road debris, and icy gravel from chipping or dinging your paint. Virtually unnoticeable, paint protection is a smart way to keep your vehicle looking great all year long.
4. Window Tint: Even in the winter, the sun’s UV rays can cause damage to your skin. Window tint helps to block the dangerous sun rays and protect your skin. With the shorter days we experience in the winter months, most of us end up driving in the dark quite often. Tinted windows help to reduce the distracting glare that can make night driving a challenge. It can also reduce the glare off of snow that can be quite blinding to the driver.

Customizing your vehicle is a good way to make driving more enjoyable and comfortable all year long. Just be sure that you work with a reputable company who is experienced in vehicle customization. DeDona Tint and Sound of Greensboro is the area’s premier provider of remote starters, GPS navigation systems, paint protection films, and window tint.

Window tint is an investment in your vehicle. When installed correctly, it offers a variety of benefits to the driver. Whether you own a car, truck, SUV, RV, or semi-truck, tinted windows will keep your ride comfortable all year long.

No matter what type of vehicle you drive, tinted windows can reduce glare and keep your vehicle cooler. In the event of an accident, window tint can help hold together shattered glass to protect the occupants of vehicle. Tinted windows can be a deterrent to potential thieves by preventing them from having a clear view into your car. Plus, tinting gives your vehicle a sleek, sophisticated appearance.

Installing window tint is not a do-it-yourself job. It requires highly skilled technicians who understand the best techniques for installing films. Vehicles must be disassembled as needed to access the glass. The glass must then be thoroughly cleaned before the tint is applied. Without the necessary training and experience, you could damage your glass and end up wasting time and money.

Unlike many other installers, DeDona Tint and Sound uses a technique that allows our trained installers to tint “to the edge” on all roll up windows. The window is covered in film to the edge or bevel, providing our customer with a finish that gives the appearance of being “factory direct”. Most back glass windows are tinted using one solid sheet of film, giving you a smooth gapless install that is virtually worry- free. This type of craftsmanship is unmatched in the area.

DeDona Tint and Sound expertly installs high-grade window tint in cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, and semi-trucks. Contact us to schedule an appointment. We are located at 5212 W. Market Street in Greensboro—just a short drive from Burlington, High Point, Reidsville, Winston Salem, and the entire Piedmont Triad of NC.

As a truck driver, you probably spend a large part of your days and nights behind the wheel. While you can’t make the miles go by any faster, there are some ways that you can customize your semi-truck to make your ride more enjoyable. Custom audio solutions, navigation systems, Bluetooth integration, and window tinting can make your big rig driving experience more comfortable and entertaining.

Custom Audio Systems: With so much time spent in your truck and out on the road, your entertainment system is probably one of the most important aspects of your vehicle. Music an entertainment is essential for making those long miles go by a little easier. Much of the same technology and innovations that are used for passenger vehicles are available for semi-trucks as well. Now you can enjoy high quality sound no matter where you may travel.

Navigation Systems: When you are traveling from city to city, it can be difficult to find the best route. Traffic issues may require that you leave your current route and find a less crowded alternative. With a professionally installed navigation system, you can be sure that you will find the quickest way to your destination. Time is money when you drive a semi and getting lost simply is not an option. A navigation system allows you to stay on track and prevents costly detours or time wasted trying to find gas stations, restaurants, or other places of interest along the way.

Bluetooth Integration: Operating a huge semi is a big responsibility. Taking your hands off of the road for even an instant can have catastrophic results. This is one reason that Bluetooth integration makes sense for truckers. Bluetooth allows you use voice commands to make and receive phone calls as well as to operate your audio and navigation systems.

Window Tinting: You know the feeling of driving down the highway with the sun blaring through the window. The bright sun will not only make you feel hot and uncomfortable, it can obscure your vision as well. Impaired vision from sun glare is responsible for numerous auto accidents each year. Window tint actually reduces glare and makes driving more comfortable. A high quality film with a high heat rejection rate will keep your interior cooler, even during the hottest days of summer.

No matter what kind of customization you want for your truck, be sure to find a qualified specialist who is highly experienced at working on semis. Not everyone has the knowledge or training to properly equip big rigs. Find a company in your area that offers high quality products with excellent customer service.

Your truck is your livelihood and if you are not on the road, chances are, you are not making money. Therefore, you will need to find a window tinting and auto customization shop that will work quickly and efficiently so that you can enjoy your new features without a lot of downtime.

We all enjoy a beautiful, sunny day. However, if you have to deal with glare or heat from the sun shining through a window, it can be quite uncomfortable for you and your customers. Window tinting for commercial properties, including stores, offices, and restaurants, helps to reduce sun glare, prevent fading of merchandise, and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

Storefronts: Window displays are essential for enticing customers into your store. Direct sunlight can fade your merchandise, making it appear dull and virtually unsellable. Window tint can be professionally applied to block harmful UV rays while still allowing customers that pass by to see your displays.

Offices: Many of us spend many hours of our day sitting in front of a computer. Sunlight streaming through a window can cause glare and make it difficult to see the screen. Window tint can reduce glare up to 94%, which helps with eyestrain and improves comfort. Plus, it adds privacy by preventing those individuals passing by from looking into your windows but still allows a clear view out.

Restaurants: If you have ever sat in a restaurant with the sun shining on your face, you know how uncomfortable it can be. You may not only start to feel overheated, but the glare can make it difficult to see or concentrate on your conversation. Even with the blinds pulled, you can often feel the heat of the sun or still be bothered by the glare as the sun peeks through the slats of the blinds. Window tint can block the sun from interfering with your patrons while still allowing the natural light to filter through your restaurant.

No matter what type of commercial property you own or manage, window tint helps you keep the interior temperature regulated. This helps to reduce energy and operating costs, especially with the extreme temperatures of winter and summer. With the rising energy costs that we have seen the past few years, your investment in window tint should pay off in no time.

Window tinting: It seems that no matter where you park, the temperature in your car can get ridiculously high during the summer.  Tinted windows reduce the heat of sun, making the interior of your vehicle feel cooler.  Even on the hottest days of summer, you will notice a big difference in the comfort of your car.  DeDona offers high-grade film that provides an 85% to 95% heat rejection rate.  This results in a much cooler interior than those vehicles without tinted windows or those with a lower grade film.

Unfortunately, car theft is a fairly common occurrence in our area.  Often, we make it easy for thieves by our own careless behavior.  By taking just a few precautionary measures, you can protect one of your largest investments.  Listed here are some things you can do to minimize the risk of your vehicle getting stolen.

Install a car alarm: Many new cars are equipped with a car alarm.  If your vehicle does not have one, be sure to get one installed. A car alarm will alert you if someone is messing with your vehicle.  Also, it acts as a deterrent to criminals who may attempt to break into your car.

Have your windows tinted: When you leave your possessions in plain view, you are providing temptation to would-be criminals. Tinted windows prevent others from easily seeing the valuables in your vehicle.  Most thieves will not break into cars if they are unsure what is inside.

Install a GPS tracking system: These systems require a GPS transmitter to be hidden somewhere in the car.  If the vehicle is stolen, its location can be tracked using this device.

Always lock your car: This may seem like common sense but many of us become distracted or simply forget.  A keyless entry system can be installed so that even as you are walking away from your vehicle or already in your home, you can press a button to lock your car doors.

Park in a secured area: You should only park in areas that are well lit and provide surveillance.  If you must park in the street, try to find a spot in a busy area.  When at home, park in your driveway rather than the road.  If you have a garage or carport, park there if possible.

While there is no way to guarantee that you will not become a victim of a crime, taking a few precautions can decrease the likelihood that you will be target.  Let the specialists at DeDona Tint and Sound help you improve the security of your vehicle.  We sell and install car alarms, GPS tracking devices, window tinting, an keyless entry systems for all types of vehicles.  Visit our Greensboro, NC store or call (336) 851-1300 to find out more.

With the summer days heating up, homeowners are trying to find the best way to keep cool and save money. One method of energy saving is home window tinting. The majority of heat from the sun comes in the form of infrared rays and tinted windows help prevent these rays from entering the home. Creating a naturally cooler interior is the smartest way to lower energy bills in the summer.

Home tinted windows have several other benefits besides keeping the temperature down. First, the tint can help protect furniture. Normal windows let in UV rays that can fade fabrics, carpets and wood. With tinted windows, you can enjoy a well-lit room without damage to your interior.

Tinted windows also add a security and safety feature to your home. Perhaps the most efficient way of preventing break-ins is to limit the view inside your home. Tinting gives you a clear view of the outside without people being able to see in. Also, windows with high grade film are more resistant to breakage. If the window is broken, it stays attached to the film, making for an easier repair.

Along with protecting your home belongings, tinted windows can also protect the health of your family. Ultraviolet light, which can enter through windows, is a major risk factor for cancer. You probably will not get sunburned while inside, but UV rays can still penetrate the skin and can cause long-term affects.

Other benefits of window tinting include reducing glares and providing a unique decorative element to your house. If you are considering tinted windows for your home, contact DeDona Auto Glass. We offer a high-grade film that can provide an 85 to 99 percent heat rejection rate in your home. Call us at (336) 851-1380 to schedule your appointment today.

Window tinting not only gives your car an upscale look, it can protect your vehicle’s upholstery and eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.  However, when installed incorrectly, it can bubble and look unsightly.  It is important to choose an installer that provides high quality work with the best grade films available on the market today.

Shop around and you can probably find a discounted price on window tint installation.  The problem is, many of these installers will not provide you with high quality films and adhesives.  As a result, your tint may begin to bubble and look hazy over time.  This can impede your vision and have a negative impact on your vehicle’s appearance.  You will now need to pay someone to strip off the low quality tint and replace it with a high-grade film.

When removing old and damaged window tinting, it is important to remove all of the adhesive.  This process can be quite time-consuming and needs to be completed by a professional to ensure that it is done correctly.  Areas like those around the defrost lines on the rear window are tricky and trying to remove it on your own can cause damage to your vehicle.

Remember that windows that are tinted too dark will not pass inspection and can result in fines.  Each state has different laws concerning vehicle window tinting.  If your windows are too dark, you will need to have the film removed and replaced with tint that meets local regulations.

Whether your window tint is low quality or too dark, it is imperative that you remove it and replace it with the best grade film available.  DeDona Tint and Sound of Greensboro, NC offers world class window tinting for your vehicle.  Call us at (336) 851-1300 to schedule an appointment with one of our tinting specialists today.
