When it comes to window tinting, there are many options available. Premier just added one other product to the market that will provide with maximum heat rejection without the effects on gps, keyless entry, radar, etc. The product will protect from UV damage and the tremendous heat reduction will reduce the drying out of leather and vinyl in the car.

If you have a BMW or Audi, you may have noticed that even some of the "ceramic" type tints tend to reduce the signal to your keyless entry system. This is because there are some type of metallic flakes embedded into the film to obtain excellent heat rejection.

Our new Diamond Cut film has been tested to be 100% metal free. It will also cut down on infrared rays by 92% vs. the closest competing "ceramic" type film at 75%.

Below we have a display with a heat lamp that can generate heat up to 200 degrees. The picture shows a timer and we utilize a heat monitor along with a BTU meter to show the benefits of this film.

Film tested at 62% VLT (visible light transmission) vs. clear glass

Only 40 seconds into turning the heat lamp on, the surface temperature of the wall jumps from 80 degrees to 95 degrees. The side with the film is already showing a 2 degree difference in just 40 seconds.

 

We then place a BTU meter behind the clear glass to see the amount of energy being transferred through the glass

Results

Clear glass - 136

Diamond Cut IR 62% - 20

 

At 5minutes and 51 seconds, surface temperature behind the clear glass reaches 109 degrees. Behind our Diamond Cut IR film it is a warm 96 degrees.

Test results - close to 6 minutes, surface temperature reaches 109 on clear glass vs. Diamond Cut at 96 degrees.

 

Quick comparison of a German based 40% ceramic tint vs. our Diamond Cut IR at 62% (which is lighter)

Results with BTU meter

Clear Glass (we positioned the BTU meter between the two films where there is a gap) - 219

Ceramic 40% - 80

Diamond Cut IR 62% - 14

 

Findings - our new Diamond Cut IR film blocks off more infrared rays than even a 40% ceramic tint

We went out and had a manufacturer produce a product specifically for our needs and the results are shown above.

Here are some shots of our new Diamond Cut IR film applied to the windows of a E90 M3 at 32% VLT (visible light transmission). We are using a E92 M3 with clear glass to give an accurate assessment of how well our tint compares

Clear Glass - in 2 minutes time, the surface temperature of the rear deck registers at 114 degrees

Diamond Cut IR Tint - in 2 minutes 44 seconds, the surface temperature registers at 102 degrees (a 12 degree difference in just 2.5 minutes)

 

Clear Glass BTU meter 56

Diamond Cut IR - BTU meter 8

 

Clear Glass - 9 minutes 14 seconds rear decklid temperature rises to 150 degrees

Diamond Cut IR Tinted - 10 minutes 11 seconds, rear deck lid temperate is at 114 degrees (36 degree difference in surface temperature)

 

Here are some snap shots of the car with our Diamond Cut IR Film

 

wow great info!

 

thanks Phil - tremendous heat rejection!!!

 

looks like one great product

 

if one is not in cali how can they get this product installed on their car?

(houston tx location or dallas tx)

 

Unfortunately for the next 4 months, it will only be available through Premier in Northern California and limited availability to Southern California facility. We will be looking at launching the product for global sales in early 2010.
