Union Ceramic IR rejects 87% of infrared heat and blocks 99.99% of UV, in any shade from the darkest to nearly clear, with nothing metallic to disturb your signal.

Infrared is the part of sunlight you feel as heat. Union Ceramic IR rejects 87% of it, so a car parked in the sun is far easier to climb into.

Ceramic film keeps the view through your glass sharp and natural, day or night, so you get the heat control without the road ahead looking murky or oddly tinted.

There's no metal in Ceramic IR, so phone keys, GPS, LTE and radio work as normal. That matters on EVs and newer cars that rely on connected features every day.

Heat and shade are separate choices. A light ceramic shade can keep a cabin noticeably cooler while staying close to clear, which is ideal for the front windows Indiana keeps lighter.
Inside the film
Ceramic film carries tiny ceramic particles that absorb and turn away infrared heat while letting visible light through. Nothing in it is metallic, so phones, GPS, LTE and keyless entry work as normal. Union Ceramic IR, Union's top car film, rejects 87% of infrared heat and blocks 99.99% of UV.
The ceramic does the heat work, so even a light shade that keeps the front doors legal in Indiana still makes the cabin noticeably cooler, and you can go darker behind them. It suits long commutes over the river into Louisville, black interiors, EVs and glass roofs. Union Carbon IR, by comparison, rejects 75% of infrared heat.

How to book

Share the car, how hot it gets and the look you're after. We'll recommend ceramic shades for each window and send a clear quote.

Pick a weekday time. Drive to our garage studio, or book mobile tinting and we set up on your driveway or at your workplace.

The glass is cleaned, film is cut to every window and applied, then the water is pressed out and each edge finished close.

We check each window with you, explain curing, and hand back a car that feels cooler the very first time it sits in the sun.
Leave the windows rolled up for 3 to 5 days so the film can cure. Some haze or small water pockets while it dries are normal; when cleaning, use an ammonia-free cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth.
